(AfroGamers.com) Open world is my favorite setting approach for games. Ever since I experienced the 3D overworld map of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, I wanted more worlds like that. Sure, it was a barren Hyrule even before the time jump but it great to just explore the towns, ...
(AfroGamers.com) In part one, we mainly focused on ineffective, incompetent authority in anime and manga. We didn’t even get into comics when it comes to bumbling government or being so bad at your job a disaster occurs. It’s worth noting that in American comics, there is a reason for why ...
(AfroGamers.com) We’ve got something of a first for AfroGamers—at least for me—in a recent film review! Early July 2025 saw the release of the anticipated James Gunn DC Universe debut: Superman. Going into the film’s release there was a lot of news and speculation about what to expect not just ...
(AfroGamers.com) You know, Crunchy Roll is great for watching, binging, and discovering anime. It’s even great for rediscovering stuff. It’s amazing how often Ronin Warriors/Samurai Warriors pop up on streaming platforms. In the 1990s, it was a kind of one those throwaway series for syndication despite being a fun, action-packed ...
(AfroGamers.com) Oh isekai, how I dig thee. However, there are times early into a series when I become angry for the protagonist. Sure, the writer would’ve written the antagonists as so insufferably d**kish and over the top with their oppression that it’s easy for you to hate them. The main ...

They might become tropes you really enjoy, some that annoy you but they’re a staple of what you enjoy—but they’re usually there. For instance, one trope I hate is the naming ...
(AfroGamers.com) I was a year late to Dead Island 2 and recently, it was made available on PlayStation Plus. It’s an open-world game with crafting and loot on PS Plus—of course I’m going to install and play it a bit. Who knows, I might just finish it! Dead Island 2 ...
(AfroGamers.com) Gearbox’s Borderlands is a franchise I missed out on when the games first dropped. I was probably busy playing Elder Scrolls IV or Fallout 3 at the time. It’s odd because this is definitely a franchise I would’ve enjoyed if I played it back then. The first time I ...
(AfroGamers.com) I’m not the biggest horror fan but I dig zombie films and comics. Video games—it depends. A legendary series like Resident Evil never really appealed to me—then again, I never gave it that strong of chance. It’s odd because I gave Dino Crisis a go, beat it and the ...
(AfroGamers.com) I’m not the biggest on exposition and characters getting a ton of TV or page time to explain their backstory but I do love lore. There are better ways to go into a character’s backstory and motivations than for everyone to stand around and let them cook. It’s a ...
