Review by Matt S. These days, I spend most of my time railing against the obsession that this industry has with content and game length. I don’t believe that it’s relevant to the quality or value of a game, and if we’re going to see games as…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. You’ve got to be impressed with the kind of gonads a developer team would have to have to look at the whole zombie arena thing and think to themselves “hey let’s do a no-frills, budget version of that!” Undead Battle Royal is a perfectly playable game,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. “But optimism dribbles away when horror repeats.” I have no idea how good Tim Reed’s novel, Spider from the Well, is, but I came across this quote from that novel when researching Returnal, and I think it’s a perfect encapsulation of that game. Returnal is a…
