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…

2D platformer/hard game/La Mulana/La Mulana 1 + 2/Nintendo Switch/platformer/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. I was only vaguely familiar with La Mulana when I first put on my Indiana Jones fedora and dived into the self-proclaimed Archaeological Ruin Exploration Action Game. As I did, I thought to myself “I’ve played a bunch of Metroidvanias before, what harm could one more…

Disaster Report/Disaster Report 4/Survival/survival game/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Disaster Report 4 is the latest in a hyper-niche series of Japanese adventure games that, as the name suggests, tasks you with surviving the fallout of a natural disaster. In this instance Japan is hit by a massive earthquake, and you need to make your way…

FMV/FMV Game/Good Gate Media/interactive film/interactive movie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/review/Reviews/The Complex/Wales Interactive

Review by Lindsay M. Let’s be real: the world is a rather complicated place right now. For once, it’s okay to be afraid of the outside world and what could happen to you and your loved ones when they leave the house. Every decision to go to the grocery store,…

News by Matt S. Devastated. Koei Tecmo’s excellent Dead or Alive 6 looks like it has become a commercial drain, and the company has announced that following an update in April it will no longer produce new DLC, characters, or other content for the game. Given that the previous Dead…

Review: Resident Evil 3 (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 30, 2020

action/Capcom/Horror/horror game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Resident Evil 3/Resident Evil 3 remake/Reviews/Shooter

Review by Matt S. Resident Evil 3 is both really well made and not good at all. As a big action gorefest it gets the job done, and like a Michael Bay film Resident Evil 3 barely gives you a second to breathe before it kicks into high gear. What’s…

Developer Q & A: On building a game for the purposes of meditation

March 30, 2020

Andromeda Entertainment/Interview/Interviews/meditation/new age game/PC/Robin Arnott/SoundSelf/spirituality/VR

Interview by Matt S. It’s difficult to wrap your head around the concept of SoundSelf, and the game’s descriptions don’t help matters, given that it claims to be a “transformative meditation experience guided by your own voice.” Just what do all those words actually mean? As it turns out, it…

Review by Matt S. Say what you like about the quality of the Arc System Works licensed fighters (no, I’m not a massive fan of that Dragon Ball one), one thing that is undeniable is that the team make sure that every fighting game spin-off they work on is reflective…

Video by Matt S. I’m a bit late to this particular party, but I’ve just started playing Granblue Fantasy Versus for the first time, and I can’t believe I’ve taken so long. I’ve got a review coming on DDNet next week, but I’ve done this first impressions video because I…
