When you’re three games deep in a series, it’s usually common to keep playing things safe. Asobo Studio opted to try something new, however, ditching the stealth-focused drama and rats of A Plague Tale for high-thrill adventures and no rats in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. Resonance is set 15 years before A Plague Tale: […]

People have been starving for another Marvel fighting game for damn near ten years, so you can imagine the fervor for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is at a boiling point. People are tired of waiting, and thankfully Arc System Works is here to give them what they want. Marvel Tokon’s biggest hurdle that it needs […]

We’re deep in the trenches with Universes Beyond and Marvel Super Heroes, a set that was announced years in advance and has some lofty expectations to clear with so long a wait for it. Everyone Loves a Comback I’m not gonna lie, the initial reception for Marvel’s Spider-Man from last year kneecapped the rollout for […]

While at MagicCon, between playing a lot of Magic with other con visitors, and watching panels on the massive Mana Stage they had set up, we also got to chat with some folks from Wizards at some behind-closed-door Q& A meetings. We got to ask key Wizards personnel about the upcoming The Hobbit and Reality […]

MonsterVine is at MagicCon Las Vegas, and we were lucky enough to get to sit down with Mike Turian, Senior Executive Producer, Aaron Forsythe, Senior VP of Game Design and Creative, and Blake Rasmussen, Director of Communications for Magic: The Gathering at Wizards of the Coast. In this chat, we went over everything Universes Beyond […]

Magic’s in the air in Vegas. MagicCon kicked off last weekend, and MonsterVine was there to check out anything and everything Magic: The Gathering. We got to preview upcoming sets, solve puzzles as a student of Strixhaven, and, of course, play a lot of Magic. Staying true to the theme of the current set, I […]

I’ve been hanging out in New York City the last few months (complimentary) and have been itching to return to one of the many planes in Magic’s worlds. And with how much of a slam-dunk visiting Llorwyn was, can you blame me for being eager for another dip in fantasy-land? Well, with Secrets of Strixhaven, we’re once […]

Mouse: P.I. For Hire is a game I’ve been eagerly anticipating since its initial reveal, and can you blame me? You show me a noir shooter with a rubber hose style, and you’ve got my attention. Now was the wait worth it, or is the game too cheesy for its own good? Well, to put […]

It’s been a month since the release of the highly anticipated return to the world of Lorwyn and Shadowmoor in Lorwyn Eclipsed, and I’ve been deep in that world, trying out everything the set has to offer. From the two commander and standard decks, to overall impressions on the set as a whole, read on […]

It’s been a decent break since Squanch Games’ comical High On Life initially debuted. I had a complete blast with it, with its explorable worlds and fun-to-use arsenal of talkative guns, but the question remains if they can nail that magic a second time. With High On Life 2, they show that they’ve still got […]
