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…

Review by Matt S.  I’m reading a book on Simón Bolívar at the moment – his addition to Civilization VI caught my attention, and while I’m reading it slowly as I’ve got a million other things to do, I am finding it fascinating. It’s fascinating because while we all know…

Video by Matt S.  Hades landed on my Switch out of nowhere this week – I had no idea the game was even in development, but I am immediately in love with it. What a beautifully slick, intelligent, refined roguelike it is. This is just my first impressions from the…

2K Games/Mafia/open world game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Harvard L. As it did with Mafia 3, Hangar 13 trades gameplay for narrative in its remake of Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, and the results are glorious. For those who were fans of the 2002 cult classic by Illusion Softworks (no, not that Illusion), Mafia: Definitive…

Review: Nevaeh (Nintendo Switch)

September 24, 2020
CFK/Nintendo Switch/platformer/Puzzle Game/puzzle platformer/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  Naveah tries to channel the same kind of melancholic mood and challenging puzzle-platformer action that drove the likes of A Rose In The Twilight and The Firefly Diary. It’s nowhere near as robust or evocative as NISA’s own efforts, but this game is not without its…

Why do games so rarely draw inspiration from the “high arts”?

September 23, 2020
Game Art/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. Video games are very good at drawing inspiration from outside of the industry.
