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…

Tokyo Dark: Remembrance lands on PlayStation 4

Review by Matt S.  One of the games that really blew me away in 2019 was Tokyo Dark: Remembrance. It wasn’t a new game, having been on PC for a while, but it was new to console when it released on the Switch, and that was where I played it…

Review: Mirror (Nintendo Switch)

January 10, 2020
fan service/fanservice/match-3/Mirror/Nintendo Switch/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Switch Review/visual novel

Review by Matt S.  Mirror, a match-3 hentai game on PC, had one thing going for it; it was smutty, and it therefore had a point. Let’s face it, if you are going to enjoy the game, mundane concerns such as a halfway decent narrative or localisation aren’t important. Neither…

News by Matt S. Just earlier this week I created a list of ten JRPGs to look forward to in 2020, with the note that there is, no doubt, going to be many more coming to get very excited for that haven’t even been announced yet. And here’s proof: Pokémon Mystery…

Video by Matt S. GreedFall came and left without making much of a wave last year, and that’s a big pity, because Spiders’ latest RPG epic is a truly wonderful game, with excellent storytelling, world building, and characters. I missed out on it at launch too! Thankfully I was able…

fan service/fanservice/LGTB/Nintendo Switch/Nurse Love Addiction/Reviews/romance/subversive/Switch Review/visual novel

Review by Matt S.  Visual novel developers often do like to subvert expectations. Unlike a straight-up novel, the visual novel medium allows for alternative routes and endings, and when you’ve got the option to write “bad” endings, the temptation to use them to ruin everything players had expected to get…

There’s a free (and substantial) DLC update coming to Wargroove

January 8, 2020
Chucklefish/DLC/News/Nintendo Switch/PC/PlayStation 4/trailer/Trailers/WarGroove/Xbox One

News by Matt S. Wargroove is the spiritual successor to Advance Wars. Developed by Chucklefish, it successfully filled a void that Nintendo and Intelligent Systems had left by ignoring that series in preference to Fire Emblem, and was very warmly received by fans indeed. Now is the perfect time to…

List by Matt S. I know that we’re only eight days into 2020, but I’m making the prediction, here and now, that it’s going to be one of the best years for the JRPG genre. With so many games as yet unannounced, I still really struggled to pull this list…

The propaganda we see in video games is the latest in a long string of ways media has failed society

January 8, 2020
Call of Duty/Disney/Opinion/propaganda

Opinion by Matt S. I’ve never forgiven Disney for what it did with Donald Duck. To call me a Donald Duck fanboy would be an understatement – my wife likes to joke that he even inspired my response to Things That Go Wrong (TM) – i.e I tend to go…

News by Matt S.  Given the bush fires ripping across my country right now, I’m not entirely sure that I need a disaster survival simulation, but hopefully, if I’m still around by April, things have settled down. NISA will release Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch,…
