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…

News by Matt S. The NISA-published dungeon crawler, The Lost Child, has been on our horizon for a while now. After all, it’s a Lovecraftian-themed Japanese dungeon crawler. Wizardry meets Cthulhu. That’s just awesome on the very face of it. The new trailer has us more excited than ever (except…

Review by Matt S. Who needs Mario Kart when you’ve got Hello Kitty Kruisers? I mean, sure, Mario Kart has tight, precise racing, gorgeous tracks taken from decades of kart racing expertise, and dozens of characters to choose between, but Hello Kitty Kruisers has boats and planes and Cinnamoroll. There’s…

Look at all these visual novels Otomate is bringing to Nintendo Switch

May 10, 2018
Idea Factory/News/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/Otomate/visual novel

News by Matt S. Visual novel specialist, Otomate, has announced a simply staggering amount of support for the Nintendo Switch. One of the last bastions of PlayStation Vita development, this wholesale shift is perhaps the final nail on the coffin for Sony’s underappreciated console. Otomate had already announced Hakuoki Shinkai:…

Review by Matt S. I don’t generally like brawlers, but I do like Dragon’s Crown. In fact, I’ve ended up enjoying it a whole lot more than I thought I would. Back when I reviewed it on the PlayStation 3, I called it a “bit of multiplayer fun,” but not…

Review: Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time (PC)

May 8, 2018
Fruitbat Factory/indie games/kinetic novel/PC/PC Review/philosophy/Reviews/Studio Beast/visual novel

By Matt C. I’ve spent literal hours agonising how to approach this review, because Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time is a game that defies description. On one level, it’s a surreal comedy reminiscent of light novels and anime like FLCL, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Eromanga Sensei (indeed,…

Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/Opinion/subscription services

Opinion by Matt S.  It’s been a while coming. Before the Nintendo Switch was even released Nintendo was promising customers that at some point down the track its online services would transition to become a monthly subscription service, much as Sony and Microsoft have done. And now, a little over…

Review: TurbOT Racing (PC)

Brazil/Indie/PC/PC Review/Racing Game/Reviews/Sci Fi/TurbOT Racing

Review by Harvard L. I genuinely feel bad reviewing this game – it embodies everything I love about the indie development scene: it’s a re-imagining of a well-known genre with imaginative mechanics that feels different to anything else you might play. It’s an uncompromised vision as well, featuring some excellent…
