Review by Matt S. (Note: We have previously reviewed this game on Nintendo Switch as a Japanese import. However, with the game getting a formal western release, we thought we’d re-publish the review for those that are curious. Having tested the PlayStation 4 version now, it is effectively the same…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Prinny 1 & 2 were platformers released back on the PSP. Featuring NISA’s demon-penguin mascot, these games were infamous for being very challenging and very, very good. Now NISA has decided to bundle them up together and release them on Nintendo Switch. The package will include…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is an Australian institution… okay, so he wasn’t quite that. Nonetheless, he was a reasonably popular platformer hero from back on the PlayStation 2, and it’s great to see him making a return in HD. Ty the Tasmanian Tiger HD will be…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. I really want to like Bookbound Brigade. On paper, it sounds great: a Metroidvania where you control a squad of heroes rather than a single protagonist, with different formations being as important to progression as more typical ability upgrades.

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Earthnight, developed by Philadelphia based Cleaversoft, is one strange game. In a nutshell it’s kind of an endless runner, but it’s also a post-apocalyptic space dragon slaying action game, with procedurally-generated elements. For the most part, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. But it’s…
Read MoreVideo by Harvard L. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night more than exceeded expectations, it’s safe to say. Players went into it hoping that the creator of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night might be able to approach the brilliance of that title, but it was just a longshot hope, and as…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Damn it, I so badly wanted to love Lost Ember. It’s a beautiful and heartfelt project that weaves together concepts of ancestry and memory, nature and preservation, and does so in a completely non-violent manner. It’s a game of exploration and discovery, and it is truly…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s not always fair when a video game – or any other art work, for that matter – belongs to a genre that has become so saturated that it’s hard to muster up enthusiasm for it. It’s often not the game’s fault, in isolation, and many…
