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…

Review by Matt S. I’ve already reviewed the Atelier Arland trilogy multiple times. For each game in the series. Rather than do yet another review, when I’ve really run out of things to say, I thought I’d instead write generally on why I love this particular trilogy so much, even…

2D platformer/hardcore game/masocore/Nintendo Switch/OkunoKA/platformer/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. OkunoKA is a hardcore platformer set in a colourfully nightmarish landscape and starring an impossibly cute blue puppy. What starts off as breezy platforming across lush backgrounds soon turns into one of the most punishingly difficult games on the Switch, rivalling titles like Super Meat Boy…

Review by Matt S. When we think about “surrealism” as it’s applied to videogames, we usually end up taken down some pretty dark paths. Hidetaka Suehiro with Deadly Premonition, and Goichi Suda with the likes of Killer7, immediately come to mind when thinking about surrealistic games, or alternatively something like…

Review by Lee F. Kingdom: Two Crowns is a 2D rogue-like base-building and defense game with quaint, well-animated pixel art and an overall minimalist presentation. It’s a sequel, and as the title alludes to, one of the biggest new features is that it includes cooperative multiplayer functionality. It looked very…
