I was about 12 missions into EDF6 when my understanding of what I was playing completely changed. I tend to go into games I’m reviewing blind; I want my eyes fresh and my mind open. Show me a trailer or two, and I’m good. I’ve played Earth Defense Force games before, so I knew the score: giant insects (shout-outs to EDF 2025), alien frogs, unmatched scale, and absurd dialogue. I was expecting a camp masterpiece. I was not expecting that. As I sat down to write this review, I debated how much I should say about EDF6’s story, but with an opening like this, I suppose I have to say something. If you’d like to go in blind (and I heavily recommend that you do), skip the next two paragraphs.

Most who actually love gaming, rather than the tribalism that comes with it, will admit that the 'Console Wars' are silly and childish.

I’ve been making way through the 2024 Read Harder Challenge throughout the year, providing recommendations for each task, but this week has brought me to a tricky one: task #16, Read a book based solely on the title. Usually, I write about each book to explain why would should read it for the task, but an explanation would essentially make that book ineligible for task #16, because then you couldn’t be reading it solely for the title.

I recently learned that the webtoon format originated in South Korea so there you go! This book is so heartfelt and earnest and sweet and my eyes welled with tears multiple times while reading it but it’s so worth it. It’s absolutely lovely.
