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: Bravely Default II (Nintendo Switch)

Braverly Default 2/JRPG/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Square Enix/Switch Review/Video/Video review

Review by Matt S. Warmth infuses every moment of Bravely Default II. This is a confident, charming and intelligent play on every single thing that people who grew up with JRPGs love about the genre. To call it a “love letter” would be misunderstanding its appeal, though. Tokyo RPG Factory…

Review: Room to Grow (PC)

Art Game/Australia/Indie/PC/PC Review/Puzzle Game/review/Reviews

Review by Harvard L. One thing I love about the indie games space is that if you like something, you’ll always be able to find more of it. Room to Grow is an elegantly designed puzzle game that instantly reminded me of modern puzzle triumphs like Snakebird, The Witness and…

Review: Little Nightmares II (Sony PlayStation 4)

3D platformer/Bandai Namco/Horror/Little Nightmares/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/puzzle platformer/Reviews/stalker horror

Review by Lindsay M. I’m not sure anyone expected the wild success of Little Nightmares. The horror puzzle-platformer launched in 2017, and has since had great critical success and player reviews. It was so well-received that it spawned a comic series, although that ended after two issues instead of the…

News by Matt S. If you’ve ever played the Arkham Horror physical board game, then you should be very much looking forward to Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace, as a digital adaptation of that most excellent game. It’s being published by board game specialise, Asmodee Digital, and now has a release…

Review: Curse of the Dead Gods (Nintendo Switch)

February 23, 2021

action RPG/Curse of the Dead Gods/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Roguelike/RPG/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. While the roguelike genre is well overplayed at this point, enjoyable examples of the genre do deserve to be noted as such. Curse of the Dead Gods is an enjoyable roguelike, but being too stylistically similar to last year’s breakout super-hit, Hades, won’t help its cause,…

Interview by Matt S. It always does my heart good to see an independent developer from Australia be able to break out and create something, and that’s exactly what Mischka Kamener from Melbourne has been able to do. In just a day or two Kamener will release Room To Grow,…

Arcade/Capcom/Nintendo Switch/Retro/Retro Compilation

Article by Matt S. There’s no point in reviewing Capcom Arcade Stadium, since you can download it for free for yourself, and it comes with a free game. Play that, and if you like the quality of the emulation and the features (you should, they’re excellent) you can subsequently buy…

News by Matt S. I don’t follow mobile gaming that closely these days, so I don’t know what kind of reputation Pascal’s Wager has, but this previously exclusive game to iOS and Android is getting a release on PC as Pascal’s Wager: Definitive Edition, and it does look good. It…
