    Makoto Niijima: The Queen of the Phantom Thieves

    Persona 5: Royal has been out for a few days now. I can’t say whether or not it’s better than the original, as I’m writing this well before it comes out. But knowing me, I’ll be playing way too much of it around the time this article comes out. So much so that I might be…

    It’s been about a month since the Sonic movie came out. Surprisingly enough, it’s been doing super well! Financially, critically, the movie has been a success! I can’t share my thoughts on it just yet, as that would spoil an upcoming movie review (take a guess what it is). All I can say is that…
