Review by Matt S. There’s a romance that has been built around the very concept of the Shinsengumi that has made the military police force of a bygone era a source of inspiration for video games, manga, and other forms of popular culture. In the video game space specifically we…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of my great regrets is that I took so long to discover Ōkami. After years of ignoring it because just about everyone chalked it up as a “Zelda clone”, a formula that I’ve never been that invested in, I finally played the HD remaster on…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. With any game that releases on an annual basis, one has to question whether or not that release even needs to happen. Sports titles get something of a pass, not because they substantially change from year to year, but because of the cyclical nature of sports…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Tetra’s Escape isn’t inspiring. It looks like a student coding project, if that student forgot to get an artist to replace the stand-in graphics that they used while building the game. One of the main selling points of the game is that it’s an easy platinum…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Circle Entertainment is prolific on the Nintendo Switch, and that’s an understatement.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. The developer of Salt & Sanctuary got very lucky. The Dark Souls remaster was meant to be the first Dark Souls-like game on Nintendo Switch, but with that apparently stuck in limbo, Salt & Sanctuary gets to be first to the table instead. It’ll probably do…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Crush Your Enemies is yet another effort at giving the Nintendo Switch a simplified “casual” strategy experience, just in case the recently-released Mushroom Wars 2 and Element weren’t enough for you. Wrapped up in a blanket of juvenile humour, Crush Your Enemies is passingly fun, but…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. This is going to be a short review, because Ayakashi Koi Gikyoku is effectively unplayable. “How might a visual novel be unplayable?” I hear you ask. Well, consider the very first couple of lines from the prologue: When the stars and the moon appeared in the…
