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…

Oh God, it’s actually happening… Baldur’s Gate III!

News by Matt S. If you ask anyone to list out the top three western-developed RPGs ever made, Baldur’s Gate would easily make it in the list… if not top it. A true classic in every way, it’s easy to forget today, looking at the humble presentation of the game,…

Review: Golem Gates (Nintendo Switch)

June 6, 2019
CCG/Golem Gates/MOBA/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/RTS/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Golem Gates is what happens when a developer takes every popular fantasy game design, and tries to mash them all together. It’s a RTS with levels laid out like in a MOBA, in which you summon cards and spells as you would in a CCG. Throw…

Review by Matt S. Have you ever played a game that you recognise as being well-made and executed, but you just can’t muster up any enthusiasm for it? That’s Vectronom. Sitting here to write the review, I can’t think of anything that is really wrong with the game. At the…

Final Fantasy/music/News/Spotify/Square Enix

News by Matt S. If you’re a fan of Final Fantasy, a good part of the reason that you love the series so much no doubt has to do with the music. Soaring, epic soundtracks, one an all, Square – and later Square Enix – has always had the brilliant…

Review: Layers of Fear 2 (Sony PlayStation 4)

June 5, 2019
Bloober/Bloober Team/Horror/Layers of Fear/Layers of Fear 2/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/psychological horror/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Layers of Fear 2, like its predecessor, is impressively effective at highlighting certain limitations in the way that we talk about – and write about – horror in video games. In our space we’re all so used to horror being associated with the monstrous, and the…

Video by Matt S. I was a big fan of Layers of Fear. I’m an even bigger fan of the sequel. It’s a “walking simulator”, but it weaves a complex and intricate narrative, and, coupled with the stunning aesthetics, delivers a masterful example of the horror genre. I take an…

Preview by Trent P. It is now approaching winter, and that means driving home from work as night falls; the lights flicker and illuminate the city in an almost foreign way. During the day the city seems busier and brighter. The night brings an odd contrast, it is quiet, and…

Nintendo Switch set to get a new Vampire: The Masquerade title that other consoles are not

News/Nintendo Switch/PC/Vampire the Masquerade/Vampire the Masquerade Coteries of New York

News by Matt S. Well, this is an interesting one; I would never have expected the Nintendo Switch to get a “console exclusive” third party game like one set in the Vampire: The Masquerade. It’s still releasing on PC, but if you want to play Vampire: The Masquerade Coteries of…
