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…

Bridge Constructor/Clockstone Studio/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Puzzle Game/Reviews

Review by Harvard L. A successful puzzle game takes a few key components: a goal, resources to meet that goal and a space for the player to devise their own solution. No matter what tools the player is given, there’s always satisfaction to be found in exploring the puzzle’s possibility…

Review by Clark A. Vocaloid fans wept tears of joy upon hearing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone was set for a localisation.

Review by Matt C.Sexy, fanserviced-riddled anime games get a bad rap. To some degree, this is justified – there’s a lot of valid criticism to be made of many such games’ approach to sexuality, especially with regard to women – but the disdain tends to go so much further than…

PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Rollercoaster Dreams/simulation/Sony PlayStation VR

Review by Matt S. Rollercoaster Dreams is right up there with the worst games that I have ever had the displeasure of playing. I think it has its heart in the right place, but there’s not a thing about it that’s remotely competent to make it worth anyone’s time. Related…

Review by Brad L. Nubla is a game that is not only an artistic piece in its own right, it is a game specifically about art. The art from the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum in Madrid, to be precise. A title developed as part of the PlayStation Talents program in Spain, Nubla…

Atari/iPad/iPad Review/Reviews/RollerCoaster Tycoon/RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic/simulation

Review by Matt S. After the travesty that was the new free-to-play RollerCoaster Tycoon, Atari must have realised that there was indeed a market on mobile platforms for proper simulation games.
