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…

Video by Harvard L. Slay The Spire is a delightful mix of so many things – it’s card game, it’s a roguelike. It’s fantasy and it’s colourful. In his latest Let’s Play, Harvard highlights many of the strategies and mechanics at play that make this such a delightful little game.…

Review: Ember (Nintendo Switch)

Ember/Nintendo Switch/open world game/Retro-style/Reviews/RPG/Switch Review/western RPG

Review by Matt S. When I saw Ember land on the Nintenndo eShop store, I thought there was something vaguely familiar with it. Promising to be a throwback to Baldur’s Gate, and other RPGs of old helped cinch the deal for me, so I figured I’d give it a go.…

News by Matt S. The whole “wake up in a video game” trope has become astoundingly common as a plot device, but that’s also because it works, and is good fun. Ascendant Hearts, an Isekai visual novel that launched on Steam back in 2018, is one such example, parodying all…

Patreon backer’s essay: Persona 5, heroism, and Edogawa Ranpo – it’s all topsy-turvy

January 22, 2020

Atlus/Essay/JRPG/Patreon/Persona 5

Essay by Matt S. Persona 5 is one of the bigger name JRPGs of the past generation. With luxurious production values, rich characters, and a superb sense of style, it’s hardly surprising that people would commit to the game’s 100-odd hour run-time. There’s a new version of Persona 5 coming,…

Review by Matt S. Last year I played – and absolutely loved – a tiny little indie horror title called Deadus. It’s a horror game that has been designed to play on the original Game Boy, and as such so you needed an emulator (or a device with a Game…

Video by Harvard L. Many of us would love to see a new F-Zero. It’s one of those properties that you just have to assume that Nintendo is sitting on for a reason. For his second retro Let’s Play this week, Harvard takes a look at F-Zero, the SNES classic…
