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…

PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Realms of Arkania/Realms of Arkania: Star Trail/Reviews/RPG

Review by Matt S. Realms of Arkania: Star Trail is two things; firstly, it’s a really fine RPG in its own right, hearkening back to the very most traditional ideals of the genre. This is a game for people who fondly remember the first and second editions of Dungeons &…

Review by Tyler T. It’s only fitting that Path of Motus, a game centered around learning from one’s mistakes and self-betterment, is in fact a remake of Sententia, one of the Xbox 360’s ugliest and critically dismissed titles. When it was released in 2012, the title had little going for…

Review by Matt C. Semblance is easily one of the most innovative puzzle platformers I’ve had the pleasure of playing. In such a crowded genre, that’s a big deal indeed. It’s is also one of the most stylish games I’ve seen in a long time, and is yet more proof…

It’s an eclectic mix this week, as we talk about the ongoing development of No Man’s Sky, Taiko the Drum on the Nintendo Switch, and everyone’s favourite Nintendo hero, Captain Toad! Is it okay to creatively alter games after release, if “fans” don’t like it? Or should a developer be…

News by Matt S. One quick way to get my attention is to promise me a “turn-based strategy game with card and board game elements.” That does check off quite a few of my favourite things. The good news is that German indie developer, Argonwood, looks set to deliver to…

Review by Matt S. Aircraft dogfight simulators are a bit of a fun treat to me. Because dogfights take place in a full 360 degree arena (the sky) and at such speed, the intensity of skill required in accurately accounting for the speed and line of flight of enemy combatants…

Opinion by Matt S. Over the last week we’ve seen a lot of stuff in the press regarding the launch of No Man’s Sky NEXT; a massive, near re-release of a game that was first released back in 2016 amongst a hailstorm of virulent criticism. Some of the stories coming…
