Review by Matt S. Tetra’s Escape isn’t inspiring. It looks like a student coding project, if that student forgot to get an artist to replace the stand-in graphics that they used while building the game. One of the main selling points of the game is that it’s an easy platinum…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Colin Thiele’s Storm Boy is an iconic piece of children’s literature. Already adapted into a film (and with another film adaptation coming), it is one of the most well-known and respected examples of Australian storytelling, and now, courtesy of Blowfish Studios, it’s being adapted into a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Crush Your Enemies is yet another effort at giving the Nintendo Switch a simplified “casual” strategy experience, just in case the recently-released Mushroom Wars 2 and Element weren’t enough for you. Wrapped up in a blanket of juvenile humour, Crush Your Enemies is passingly fun, but…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Strategy games that focus on the future wars that humanity will fight over over the scarce remaining resources of the planet are becoming more common, and with good reason. Those wars, when they come – and so long as the world continues on the current capitalist…
Read MoreReview by Tyler T. It’s only fitting that Path of Motus, a game centered around learning from one’s mistakes and self-betterment, is in fact a remake of Sententia, one of the Xbox 360’s ugliest and critically dismissed titles. When it was released in 2012, the title had little going for…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. One of my great pleasures in life is sipping on a large cup of coffee and sitting at my dining table with a puzzle game to get my day started. It need only be half an hour or an hour of play time, but after this…
Read MoreReview by Trent P. My favourite thing is a good opening prologue that kicks off on a positive note only to end up establishing the conflict and context to the action right away. That juxtaposition between the world before the start of the game or movie and the resulting conflict…
