Review by Harvard L. Imagine being the last lifeline for someone kidnapped – you’re only in contact with them through text message, and you’re hanging on to every last message not knowing how things would play out. It’s a position of high responsibility mixed with tense anxiety, and that’s the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As much as I love my Nintendo Switch, there is one glaring issue with it when making use of its portability; that damn battery life. It barely lasts me a trip to and from my home to the city back in Australia, let alone when I…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. It’s 2018 and things exist, indie games are occupying every niche available, and here’s a blackjack game on Switch which perfectly recreates the style and look of Street Fighter II. The similarities are uncanny, down to the choices in colour palette, the lavish backgrounds and the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As a big fan of the old gamebooks that I obsessively consumed through my childhood, I was so impressed with what Tin Man Games did with The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. Taking the basic gamebook experience and turning it into a blend of board game and…
