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…

Gadget review: 4Gamers Pro4-80 Stereo Gaming Headset

August 22, 2019

4Gamers/4Gamers Pro4-80 Stereo Gaming Headset/Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Headset/headsets

Review by Matt S. Designed for – and officially licensed to – the PlayStation 4, 4Gamers’ latest headset pitches itself at a very budget-friendly end of town. Obviously it’s not going to offer an experience comparable to headsets three or four times its price, but I was nonetheless impressed with…

Review: Oninaki (Nintendo Switch)

August 21, 2019

JRPG/Oninaki/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Square Enix/Tokyo RPG Factory

Review by Matt S. Tokyo RPG Factory has, over the span of three titles, developed a distinct voice in its approach to the JRPG. I’m not talking about the team’s commitment to retro-styled gameplay systems and aesthetics, though there’s certainly an element of that. No. The distinctive thread that links…

Video: Dead or Alive 6 gets gorgeous summer dresses

Video by Matt S. Yet another round of Dead or Alive 6 costume DLC has landed with us, and this time around it’s beautiful, flowing summer dresses. These costumes actually really impressed me. From a technical and animation standpoint, skin-tight swimsuits and similar isn’t such a challenge. Getting a long…

3D platformer/Australia/Nintendo Switch/Nnooo/platformer/Reviews/Rogue Singularity/Roguelike/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Imagine, if you will, Super Monkey Ball as a platformer. Only the levels are randomised. And then you’re encouraged to speedrun it. Welcome to Rogue Singularity; a platformer that is going to absolutely brutalise you, and yet, you’re going to keep coming back for more because…

Phew! That’s been a couple of weeks. Our podcast recording platform got up and died, so we needed to find an alternative. That’s why we’ve been away the last couple of weeks, but we’re back now. So this week we talk about ACE Team’s mesmerising new game, The Eternal Cylinder.…

News by Matt S. The “second E3,” or, in the opinion of many, the event that’s replacing E3, Gamescom in Germany has grown to become yet another essential event for showing off key releases and making major announcements. In addition to the stuff shown directly at the event, many developers…

Video by Matt S. I had not been paying attention to RAD prior to its launch. I don’t really know why, other than to say there’s so much other stuff out there. But Double Fine’s latest is a perfect nostalgia trip right back to the glories of 80’s cartoons. From…

Review: RAD (Sony PlayStation 4)

action RPG/Bandai Namco/double fine/Double Fine Productions/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/RAD/Reviews/Roguelike

Review by Matt S. Children of the 80’s, perk up. If you grew up with a diet of He-Man, She-Ra, Transformers and the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon (hey, look, I wasn’t asking you to judge me here), then you owe it to yourself to play RAD. It’s not the perfect…
