Lindsay picked up an NES controller for the first time at the age of 6 and instantly fell in love. She began reviewing GBA games 20 years ago and quickly branched out from her Nintendo comfort zone. She has has developed a great love of life sims and FMV titles. For her, accessibility is one of the most important parts of any game (but she also really appreciates good UI).
Is it shaping up to be the year of the Bandai Namco-published manga adaptation? Sand Land is set to launch tomorrow and that makes today a good time to announce another manga adaptation, no?

As I get older, it seems like the games I play are getting shorter. When I was in my 20s, I had all the patience (and ability) required to sink 100+ hours into a single title. Now, with 40 looming, I find solace in games that are less than ten…
The last Super Monkey Ball game to launch for Nintendo Switch was…
The original Myst is an iconic narrative adventure exploration puzzle game released…
Back when it launched in 2019, Matt really liked Passpartout: Starving Artist. He called it “enjoyable, thanks to its lighthearted presentation and biting, and yet amusing, sense of humour,” and gave it four on five stars. A sequel, Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist, was released for PC in April of…

I’m most fond of Don’t Nod for its developed games; I don’t think anyone can disagree that Life is Strange is absolutely iconic (though has now gone to other developers, namely Deck Nine), and I’m very fond of Tell Me Why. So far it has only published one outside game,…

Free-to-play games can run the gamut from terrible and money-hungry to quite good (though still usually money-hungry). While I prefer premium games, even in the mobile world, some free-to-play games just catch my attention. Enter upcoming tactical RPG Sword of Convallaria.

The Isle Tide Hotel is Wales Interactive’s latest FMV title. It was originally supposed to launch in Q2 2023, but it bumped back slightly and will now be launching in September (Q3). No bother; that’s really not much more of a wait for what I believe from experience will be…

I first wrote about Ugly during 2022’s Not-E3 week. Its stunning art style and detailed animations are what originally drew me to the game – there’s something very charming there despite the game being described as a dark and twisted fairytale.
