Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I’ve been coming to appreciate short games more and more in recent times. With a shorter run time, the challenge is on the designer to provide a consistent and structured experience, and often this is done by cutting out the chaff from an otherwise longer game.…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Megadimension Neptunia has finally landed on Nintendo Switch and… it is a really, really good port. Finally having a “proper” Nep Nep game on my Switch is a good thing indeed. As I’ve already reviewed the game twice, I didn’t feel like there was much I…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Carrion is visceral. I’m actually tempted to leave my review at that, because that describes the game’s core motif and aesthetic, its principle appeal, and it’s the perfect word to describe whether the game is right for you or not. Carrion is exquisitely violent, evocatively malevolent,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. With Rock of Ages 3, ACE Team is done. That’s not a criticism of the game, but rather an acknowledgement that there’s just nothing more to eke more out of the formula. As an eclectic blend of tower defence, Monkey Ball, Monty Python and party game,…

Read MoreList by Matt S. Well, I have been saving this little list up. The thing is… I don’t have anything to write right now. There are some big reviews coming later in the week, but between COVID-19, the fact that a Monday here means a non-working Sunday in the main…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Void Terrarium (ignore all the nonsense in the title – this is what the game’s name is) is a Mystery Dungeon-style roguelike, and if that immediately makes you roll your eyes a little, I’m not surprised. There’s already a half dozen (if not more) of that…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Void Terrarium is the latest from NISA, and it’s a beautiful and melancholic traditional roguelike. As someone who has become hesitant with the genre (every indie game thinks it’s a roguelike these days…), it is still one of my favourite genres when it gets things right,…
