Review by Matt S. I never had the opportunity to play The Last Remnant on its initial release in 2008. It was a console exclusive on Xbox 360, and I didn’t spend much time playing that console at all. I’m so glad that for the remaster Square Enix brought it…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. The PlayStation VR headset has been home to an amazing array of original experiences. Like most devices, it also has a bunch of stuff that has been ported over from elsewhere in order to make a bit more money for the developer and publisher. Some of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Football Manager games look like spreadsheets. They feel like spreadsheets to play. If spreadsheets had a smell, they’d smell like them too. On a fundamental level, it seems so silly that there would be this sports game franchise which doesn’t involve any on-field sports action. And…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) deserves a great deal of credit for having been the game that really helped realise a new niche in the competitive shooting genre. Maybe it was not the first ever of the “battle royale” shooters, but it certainly became the one to help…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. OkunoKA is a hardcore platformer set in a colourfully nightmarish landscape and starring an impossibly cute blue puppy.

Read MoreReview by Lee F. Kingdom: Two Crowns is a 2D rogue-like base-building and defense game with quaint, well-animated pixel art and an overall minimalist presentation. It’s a sequel, and as the title alludes to, one of the biggest new features is that it includes cooperative multiplayer functionality. It looked very…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Akihabara – Feel the Rhythm Remixed would have been so much more impressive if it came earlier in the year. Given that we’ve had both Lumines Remastered and Tetris Effect released this year, it’s been such a stand-out good time for puzzlers that blend in rhythmical…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. When I previewed it last month, I said that Gris was shaping up to be a powerful allegory for depression. Now that I’ve seen it all the way through, I can confirm that that is absolutely the case: without so much as a word, Gris weaves…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is truly astounding. After the first game demonstrated that the developer was on the cusp of taking its mobile racing engine to the next level, this sequel has taken such a step backwards that it’s genuinely difficult to imagine how it happened. The…
