Review by Matt S. You could call Rico a kind of reverse Payday; where Payday was a co-operative shooter that let you play as the robbers, Rico is a shooter that encourages co-op play and lets you play as the cops. It’s nowhere near as well made as Payday and…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of the best things about the Nintendo Switch is that so many games are released on it each week. A lot of it is really great stuff, too. Where the Wii U, and even the 3DS, were largely sustained by Nintendo and a select handful…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I like Left Alive. That’s quite possibly the most controversial thing that I’ve ever written, given the wave of blind hatred that the game has been attracting since it launched last week. But I genuinely like it. It’s often a mess to play, but, equally, it’s…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of the features that people don’t talk about much with regards to strategy games is the stories that they tell. After all, between the mathematical balancing of the spreadsheets that power them, the layer upon layer of interlocking systems that determine diplomacy, scientific discovery, the…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. RemiLore is a game that unfortunately I do not have the patience for. South Korean indie outfit Pixellore brings to the table a top-down beat-em-up with a JRPG flavour, that weighs a little too heavy on the grind and a little too light on the substance.…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. While it has “only” been six years since Ninja Theory’s DMC, it has been over a decade since Capcom’s last numerical release of the series, in Devil May Cry 4. Returning once again to fight the demonic forces of hell and those that control them, series…
