Infinity Nikki Is a Fashion Game That Might Sneak Up on Action-RPG Fans

Okay so I wasn’t planning to play Infinity Nikki. I saw the trailers and thought, yeah cute fashion game, probably not for me. Too pink, too much dress up. I play Genshin and Honkai Star Rail, I like action, grinding, boss fights… you get it.

But then I tried the beta and this game is actually good.

Yes it’s still about fashion and dressing up, but it’s not boring. The outfits you wear literally change what you can do in the world. One outfit lets you glide like in Zelda, another one lets you shrink and go through tiny holes, there’s even one that lets you freeze water and walk across it. It’s kinda genius how the puzzles and exploring are tied to the clothes.



The open world is really pretty too. Feels like Genshin but calmer. Less enemies, more focus on collecting stuff, platforming, and solving cute little challenges. It’s relaxing but not in a bad way. Honestly it’s insane this is running on mobile. The game looks like a Pixar movie sometimes.

Also the fashion part is way more fun than I thought. You collect materials, craft clothes, and you actually need different outfits to progress. So it’s not like you just throw on whatever looks cute. You have to plan a little.

I still don’t care much about the story, and the voice acting is a bit ehh. But overall I’m surprised. I thought this was just a game for girls who like dress up, but it turns out it’s actually a solid RPG with a lot of creative ideas.

I play Genshin Impact almost daily, but Infinity Nikki might actually become my next obsession.

Fruits Basket Understands Grief in a Way Most Anime Don’t

Image
When people talk about Fruits Basket , they usually mention the romance, the family drama, the cute Zodiac transformations . And yeah, all of that is there. But what really stuck with me after finishing the 2019 reboot wasn’t the love story. It was how the show handled grief, and how it didn’t try to fix it. Grief in Fruits Basket isn’t just a backstory. It’s a shadow that follows every major character. Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, Momiji, even Akito in their own way. Each of them is stuck somewhere between denial and acceptance. But unlike most shows where emotional trauma gets magically resolved in a few episodes, Fruits Basket drags it out. It lets characters sit with their pain. Sometimes it even lets them make the wrong choices because of it. Tohru’s mom is dead before the first episode, but her absence is louder than half the cast. Tohru tries so hard to stay cheerful and supportive that it becomes a kind of self-punishment. She refuses to let herself be sad in front of others because s...

When Gods Step In: What Hoyoverse Just Dropped in ‘The Gods’ Limits’ Teaser for Genshin Impact

Image
So it’s Wednesday night. I was half-asleep, phone in hand, just scrolling. Suddenly HoYoverse drops this thing called Teyvat Chapter Interlude Teaser: The Gods’ Limits . I thought maybe it was a promo or something for Natlan. But no. It’s nine minutes of pure lore explosion. I watched it once, then again, then paused every three seconds the third time.  They introduced these beings called the Four Shades , who are above Archons. Literal world-ruling level. Wait... There’s a Ruler of Space? So, you remember the unknown floating cube lady who splits the Traveler twins at the very beginning? Turns out she’s not just a plot device. She’s Asmoday , the Ruler of Space . She’s one of the Four Shades. Like she sits at the same table as the Rulers of Death, Life, and Time. But also apparently, she’s gone rogue? Or just missing? Either way she’s not hanging out with the others anymore. Something happened. Traveler separation was not random. And now that I know she’s literally Space itself, I...

Solo Leveling Is Just Hype with No Heart

Image
Look , I’m not saying Solo Leveling is trash. The fights are flashy, the animation is slick, and yes, Sung Jin-Woo looks cool as hell standing in the dark with his army of shadow dudes. But after a few episodes, I started asking myself... is that all there is? It feels like the show is all aura. You know what I mean: characters just standing around radiating purple energy while everyone gasps and calls them a monster. That’s fun once or twice. But every episode? Every single fight? It gets old. There’s barely any focus on the actual story. Jin-Woo levels up, gets a new power, kills a boss, repeat. That’s it. There’s no tension because you know he’s going to win. And don’t even get me started on the side characters. I couldn’t name more than two. They’re just there to react to Jin-Woo or get saved by him. People are hyping this up like it’s the next big thing, but I honestly think it’s just good timing. JJK is on break, Demon Slayer is winding down, Chainsaw Man still hasn’t come back....
