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: SEGA Mega Drive Classics Collection (Nintendo Switch)

November 28, 2018

compilation/Nintendo Switch/Retro/Reviews/Sega/SEGA Genesis Classics/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. In the long run, Nintendo’s decision to bottleneck the Switch’s Virtual Console to three or four NES games per month did have its benefits. While the Wii and 3DS leveraged third-party Virtual Console titles to bridge gaps between first party releases, the Nintendo Switch has the…

Review by Matt S. The only right way to play Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight is to play them together. Individually they’re a little limited, but taken together they’re a marvellous celebration of the incredible music that has powered so much of the tone…

News by Matt S. Ghost of a Tale is a stealth action game by a tiny development team (SeithCG), and yet you wouldn’t tell that it’s such a small-scale production. It looks every bit the part of a mid-tier release, and it has had an enormously positive reception on PC…
