Review by Harvard L. You might be easily fooled into thinking a game looking like Solo would draw inspiration from Wind Waker, but Team Gotham’s narrative puzzler has much more up its sleeve. Promising to take players on an introspective journey to find the meaning of love, the game pulls…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. Roguelites are a dime a dozen these days. While they’ve come a (very) long way and bear almost no resemblance now to the original game that coined the moniker, titles that fall into this subset of procedurally generated titles are often a surefire hit on both…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Drive on Moscow is the last thing you’d expect to see on a console. Tactics RPGs and even more serious strategy titles like Nobunaga’s Ambition are one thing, but Drive on Moscow is the full grognard experience. The most hardcore of the hardcore. The kind of…
Read MoreReview by Trent P. The Bunker is yet another feather in the Nintendo Switch’s cap, so far as interesting and different experiences on the platform go. As a FMV, cinematic-style game, players will find themselves engrossed in the daily ritual of the protagonist, John, who has grown up in a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I didn’t expect Megadimension Neptunia VIIR would be so different to the original Megadimension Neptunia VII from 2016. I know we’d been promised “engine changes,” but thought that would be be limited to back-end stuff to make the game play more smoothly and look a little…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Do you remember SEGA Soccer Slam from back in 2002? What a game that was. Taking the sport of football (or soccer, or whatever you call it in your part of the world), it was an all-arcade, no-rules, 3-on-3 sports game that was about the big…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m not a parent, and a lot of the time stories that deal with that particular dynamic, between parents and their kids, pass me by. I just haven’t felt the emotional connection there, and because those stories generally rely heavily on exploring that exact emotional connection,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Spiderweb Software isn’t a household name, but for years (and years) now the tiny outfit has managed to achieve something that most other indies will die dreaming of: establish a workable and sustainable business model. Spiderweb games are brilliantly niche, don’t overstretch themselves, and don’t get…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. One thing I have loved watching over the last few years is the return of the classic simulator. After years of having the likes of EA butcher Sim City, and Atari drive Rollercoaster Tycoon into the dirt, it has been so refreshing to watch titles like…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Extinction represents some of the unfortunate problems of mid-tier development: its scattered focus and cut corners lands it firmly in the good-but-not-great category, and thus it fails to either achieve the immersive spectacle of the AAA sphere, nor the affordable ingenuity of the indie space. It…
