Review by Matt S. Oh, this game is good. This game is really, really good. The previous Choices That Matter title, released on the Nintendo Switch last year, was an excellent example of how pure text adventures can still be both relevant and compelling. This one, And Their Souls Were…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. There are two things that are important to visual novels: One is the art. The other is the narrative. If either of those are broken, then the game itself is rendered pointless. Lily of the Hollow – Resurrection is broken thanks to a localisation that is…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I never used to be a big fan of birds, but then after moving to my current place (the first place I’ve had in years with a backyard and garden), a small flock of cockatoos started hanging around, so I started to feed them a handful…

Read MoreHistory lesson time! There’s actually a really good reason that Crawlco Block Knockers, a pervy puzzle game with plenty of nudity in it, is quite the appropriate Nintendo console release (I have no idea how eastasiasoft gets away with this, given the previously-released Waifu Uncovered pushes real boundaries on what…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. In the six years since the board game Evolution first landed in stores, it has grown rapidly in stature and prominence. It’s a commercial hit and, as the game’s website proudly proclaims, it’s even drawn the attention and respect of the scientific community for the way…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ve already reviewed Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia on Nintendo Switch, which I did when it launched on the console earlier in the year.
