Review by Matt S. Harvest Moon: One World is going to be trounced by Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town when the latter releases at the end of the month. It’s a pity it will be, because while it’s not of the same standard One World is, in its own…
Read MoreReview by Alex Kidman. Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is a harsh game that wastes little time in making it clear that this is entirely the point. Then again, why should Capcom’s venerated and vintage platform action series waste any time? If you’ve ever played any of the games in the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Legal Dungeon is a fascinating little game, and something entirely unique. We don’t often get to say this these days, but you really haven’t played anything like this before. That comes with some issues that hamper the overall experience, but nonetheless I doubt I’m going to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The question of “what happens after the world has been saved from the end boss” is one that a few RPGs have explored over the years. It’s a difficult topic to tackle as a video game, though, because it naturally assumes that the world has returned…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. You know what? I was going to give this game the respect of a full review. It’s unmitigated trash, but I firmly believe that everyone’s creative ideas deserve the respect of full and proper criticism. But then I kept playing and this game became too insulting…

Read MoreReview 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…
Read MoreReview 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,…
Read MoreArticle 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…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ever play a game that’s perfectly competent, well-designed and a faithful student of the genre it belongs to, but also overwhelmingly dull? Cathedral is one such game. It’s one of those indie Metroidvanias, with old-school aesthetics and a heavy dose of nostalgia. If Cathedral had have…
