Review by Matt S. What new things can you say about a game that has been so comprehensively lauded, discussed and analysed as Shadow of the Colossus has? There is already a wealth of information out there about the game, which for many was the first title that offered substantial…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. There aren’t enough railway tycoon games out there. Or tycoon simulators in general. What was once a thriving sector of the industry has slowly whittled away, and while there are some impressive looking attempts on the horizon (SEGA’s take on a hospital manager looks especially impressive),…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. At the ripe old age of 32, I’m already as close to a crazy cat lady as you can get. We don’t have kids — but we do have three cats. It was only supposed to be two but then I found a needy stray and……
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I really wish I hadn’t already declared the worst game of 2018, because there’s already genuine competition out there for that title, as Rento Fortune lands as a “premium” game on PlayStation 4.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Dragon Ball FighterZ is not for me. I’m not a big fan of Dragon Ball, and this game didn’t convert me… nor did it do a great job in educating me about why other people enjoy Dragon Ball. All of that might sound pretty obvious given…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. With developer name like DeconstrucTeam and a publisher name like Devolver Digital, it’s natural to expect big things. The Red Strings Club is a new cyberpunk game for Steam which takes elements from adventure games and visual novels, boasting a wickedly complex conversation system and a…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is a sharp fighting game that finally gives us the Street Fighter V experience we probably should have had since the start. When Street Fighter V first released, I was torn over it. Visually it was fantastic, and the actual fighting…
