Review by Matt S. Who needs Mario Kart when you’ve got Hello Kitty Kruisers? I mean, sure, Mario Kart has tight, precise racing, gorgeous tracks taken from decades of kart racing expertise, and dozens of characters to choose between, but Hello Kitty Kruisers has boats and planes and Cinnamoroll. There’s…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I don’t generally like brawlers, but I do like Dragon’s Crown. In fact, I’ve ended up enjoying it a whole lot more than I thought I would. Back when I reviewed it on the PlayStation 3, I called it a “bit of multiplayer fun,” but not…
Read MoreBy Matt C. I’ve spent literal hours agonising how to approach this review, because Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time is a game that defies description. On one level, it’s a surreal comedy reminiscent of light novels and anime like FLCL, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Eromanga Sensei (indeed,…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I genuinely feel bad reviewing this game – it embodies everything I love about the indie development scene: it’s a re-imagining of a well-known genre with imaginative mechanics that feels different to anything else you might play. It’s an uncompromised vision as well, featuring some excellent…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Nintendo Switch doesn’t need games like this in its library. An “enhanced” port of a PC port of an iOS game, Timberman is shallow, limited, pointless “entertainment”, with a ridiculous grind thrown in that tries to stretch the ten minutes of “fun” that you’ll get…
Read MoreBy Matt C. You wake up in the entrance hall of an elegant, old-fashioned manor, with no memory of how you got there or who you are. Your confusion and disorientation soon make way for fear when you find yourself attacked by a strange, minotaur-esque monster. As you flee, you…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. City of Brass is such a rare treat. Set in the heart of a 1001 Arabian Nights story (one of my favourite books of all time), the game offers all those fantasy Middle Eastern aesthetics and themes that I love (but rarely get to see), wrapped…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. This, right here, is how you do a complete package of a game, and give people who purchased the original title more than enough reason to double-dip. This is how you give people who missed the game the first time something so loaded with content that…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I find FMV games to be an oddly uncomfortable experience. It’s one thing to take control of and manipulate digital characters through an experience. It’s quite another to feel that sense of control over actual people. Especially now, when FMV games are of a standard equivalent…
