Review by Matt S. Be careful what you wish for. The SteamWorld series, by developer Image & Form, has always offered stellar production values and tight, engaging gameplay, across the many genres that it has crossed over the years. There’s been a tower defence, two platformers, and a 2D XCom…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Panty Party is a game in which variations of women’s undergarments battle it out in a no-holds barred deathmatch. Whether your preference is plain white briefs or panties with bear designs printed on them, tentacle panties (which seem rather… impractical to me) through to the mighty…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that 2017’s Bye-Bye BoxBoy! was meant to be the final game in the series. After all, this was the third game in what Nintendo kept referring to as a “trilogy”, and one with a definite air of finality about…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Moero Chronicle is Idea Factory at its most Idea Factory. It’s a game so utterly devoted to fan service that it doesn’t bother itself with traditional expectations of a video game; the localisation is barely coherent, and the narrative behind it isn’t any more disciplined. And…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I like to believe there was a collective feeling of apprehension in the audience at E3 when Days Gone was first announced. The game’s elevator pitch is simple.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Harvest Moon (and the genre it spawned) is great, because Harvest Moon is a sentimentally meditative game. You enjoy a homey little life in the far-flung countryside, where you run through a daily routine of milking cows and tending to onions. Morning chores done, you head…
Read MoreReview by Priscilla M. Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen was originally developed and published by Capcom in 2012 as the vanilla game Dragon’s Dogma. An enhanced edition – Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen – was then released a year later, and now in 2019 that version has graced the Nintendo Switch with…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Going way, way back into the history of video game RPGs, the original goal of developers was to take the pen and paper experiences that so many people loved through the 70’s and 80’s (most notably through Dungeons & Dragons), and then give them the chance…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ll be honest: I never expected to play a game in which short skirted, big boobed anime girls started cracking jokes about Australia’s right wing politician’s drive to rip incomes away from working class families. But here we are at Alluna and Brie and, as odd…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Giant alien spaceships and bugs have once again attacked the Earth and it’s your job as part of the Earth Defense Force to pick up arms and defend your planet. With plenty of weapons that are both realistic and completely absurd, you’ll either be heading out…
