Review by Matt S. Untitled Goose Game is the perfect game in its simplicity. It gives players a toybox, and then encourages them to mess it up in whatever wildly creative way they can dream up. Every second of it offers up the driest of dry humour which, coupled with…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I am so torn with this remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. On the one hand, it is, functionally, the same experience that defined my favourite Zelda game of all time. On the other… I freaking hate this game. Just as I hate what…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. With the moon having been cracked open by an unknown force, and part of it crashing down upon the earth in a catastrophic event, a new breed of AI have spawned, taking over existing machines with one purpose: to destroy humanity. Waking up some years later…

Secondly, a laboured effort at throwing “gameplay” into the storytelling. Uchikoshi has never appeared to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Utawarerumono might be my favourite property that almost no one is aware of. It’s followed a similar trajectory as the Fate series, albeit at a much more niche rate; it was once an adult visual novel, sex scenes and all, but then went “legitimate” with mainstream…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. It’s well after midnight. My workspace is disorganized, with papers strewn about, pens uncapped, my iPad and keyboard set up in the midst of the mess. I feel as though I’m embodying the protagonist of Telling Lies, despite the fact she barely appears as more than…
