Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

Shiren the Wanderer: The roguelike real deal

December 1, 2020
genre/JRPG/Roguelike/Shiren the Wanderer/Spike Chunsoft/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S.  Shiren the Wanderer has finally landed on Nintendo Switch, and brought with it the very most classical interpretation of the roguelike genre that you can imagine. It’s turn-based, procedurally-generated, tough-as-nails and unforgiving stuff. I love it. I’ve done this video to look at the expanded way…

Review: Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate (Nintendo Switch)

November 30, 2020
JRPG/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Roguelike/Shiren the Wanderer/Spike Chunsoft/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  It is appropriate to make the core motif of a Shiren the Wanderer game – a genuine pioneer in the now saturated roguelike genre – that of fate and fortune. The roguelike, after all, depends entirely on the metaphoric roll of the dice, to determine everything…

Review: Mad Tower Tycoon (Nintendo Switch)

November 27, 2020
Mad Tower Tycoon/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/simulator/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  In theory, I would love Mad Tower Tycoon. I find myself enjoying the tower builder simulators most of all. I still regularly play Project Highrise on my Switch, for example. I find the idea of little, self-contained communities within big towers fascinating, and with those really…

Review: LoveKami: Divinity Stage (Nintendo Switch)

November 27, 2020
fan service/fanservice/LoveKami/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/visual novel

Review by Matt S. LoveKami: Divinity Stage loves boobs. Big, heaving, gravity-defying boobs. Boobs that burst out of whatever too-tight clothing is meant to be holding them in and yet, oddly, boobs that don’t seem to have nipples. There are a number of instances through LoveKami where the boobs are…

Horror/Microsoft Series X/Microsoft Xbox One/News/PC/PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5/Survival Horror/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S.  The horror game genre has changed over the years, and these days it’s very focused on jump scares and big action – the kind of thing that goes down well for streamers, basically. And then there’s Yuoni, an upcoming survival horror by Tricore. It looks like…
