UltraGoodness 2 is the latest from Ratalaika,  the first UltraGoodness still remaining a Steam only joint. It shares the same developer in Rasul Mono with music from Sergey Mozharovskiy. Whereas UltraGoodness was resolutely pixel art, Rasul has uprated the graphical style in the sequel to be a bit more console […]

Whist I may still be a relative newcomer to the Ys franchise each game I play impresses me immensely as does Falcom’s output as a whole. I’ve played Ys Origins and Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA and now the trend continues with Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. Again you play as […]
