Review by Matt S. Kalypso really picked the wrong time to release Port Royale 4 on Nintendo Switch. It’s been out for a fair few weeks now, but with all the JRPGs, visual novels, and other things that have been landing on the console too, I’ve only had time to…
Read MoreReview by Alex Kidman. Back when I was but a teenager – which wasn’t quite the middle ages, but was some time ago – I attended a medieval-themed fancy dress party. As was befitting my social status at the time, I went dressed as a humble peasant. Yes, I was…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Death Crown is almost unplayable on Switch, and has given me a headache every time I have tried. Consequently, this is going to be a pretty short review, and that’s a pity because I love almost everything about it. The most immediately obvious quality about Death…
