Review 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 MoreReview by Matt S. Who hasn’t wanted to catch the attention of a succubus? I mean, other than anyone that remembers what succubi actually represented across the various religions that they pop up under in one guise or another… and what they were meant to do to the hapless souls…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The performance of the Paper Mario series (and the Mario RPGs in general) has been patchy. The first two – Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64 and The Thousand-Year Door on the GameCube – are rightly considered in the upper echelons of Mario’s very long career.…
Read MoreWell then. Waifu Uncovered is certainly a thing. A thing I never expected Nintendo to allow, in this state, onto the Switch. Publisher eastasiasoft certainly deserves credit for somehow making that happen. To stop beating around the bush, Waifu Uncovered is strip SHMUP, and while it doesn’t go quite as…

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Urban Trials Tricky is fun, agreeable, and plain. It’s the fourth in Tate Multimedia’s Urban Trials series of motorcross-trials videogames, and like the others before it, there isn’t really any vastly distinguishing factor setting it aside from previous games in the series, or the similarly named…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Over a number of years now, Codemasters has steadily built the F1 series into a top-flight racing game contender, and one of the few in the genre that manages to straddle the line between a serious simulation for fans of the sport, and something accessible to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S Deadly Premonition was released ten years ago now, and you’d think that in that time people would have learned. But, nope. Ten years ago people fixated on technical issues of that game at the expense of the greater point, only for Deadly Premonition to eventually become…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons; this is a continuation of the old Harvest Moon, and Harvest Moon in the west now is actually a different series. I know it’s confusing, but it is what it is) is like Animal Crossing but with just a little…
