Video by Matt S. NieR Gestalt is – or at least was – my favourite game of all time. I’ve had the opportunity to get hands-on time with NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 and… well, unless something catastrophic happens with the stuff I haven’t seen yet, it is the perfect remaster of…

Art Game/Indie/itch.io/list/Top 10/top 5

List by Matt S. I’m a big fan of itch.io for the freedom and open platform that it allows for developers to be creative, experimental, and directly canvas the audience for feedback for games that are not yet ready for primetime on Steam and its ilk. In addition, itch.io allows…
