Review by Harvard L. I’m a firm believer that games should be diverse, and often I’ll refer to the “flavours” of games. Some games are sweet, others are spicy, some are rich. In line with this metaphor, Arrest of a Stone Buddha is very singularly bitter. As with other bitter…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We finally get a chance to play the first chapter of the Utawarerumono series! The previous titles that were released in the west were sequels to this one, Prelude to the Fallen, which is a remake of the original Utawarerumono. The original Utawarerumono had sex scenes…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I know I’m late to the party with this one, but The Elder Scrolls: Blades has just released on Nintendo Switch, and as I had not played the mobile release previously, this is all new to me. Usually, I avoid reviewing free-to-play games, as the “purchase…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I have been looking forward to John Wick Hex for quite some time now, after it first launched on PC last year. With Mike Bithell (of Thomas Was Alone fame) behind it I had faith that it would be good, but despite my enthusiasm I still…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. With romance games, there’s often an attempt to try and gamify the whole process of falling in love. Getting the good ending with your chosen lover should be at least a little bit of a challenge, says common wisdom, so getting there involves just the right…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I don’t know actually know much about The Dresden Files. In fact, I only discovered that it was such a popular series of novels when I typed the game’s name into Google to see where it came from. I do, however, know and love both card…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I love foxes. They’re smart, fluffy, and noble animals, like wolves but more petite and less terrifying if you happen to just come across one (yes I know that wolves aren’t actually the dangerous monsters that popular culture likes to depict them as, but they are…
