Review by Matt S. It’s weird to get an expansion pack for a game that we don’t have in its base form on a console, but here you go: The first Romance of the Three Kingdoms to release on the Nintendo Switch in the west is the expansion (with the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Where do I even start with this pile of trash? There are just so many things wrong with it… oh, I know. Let’s start with the Christian thing, shall we? As a mood-setting exercise, Grey Skies: A War of the Worlds Story likes having you travel…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Super Mario 3D World will be remembered as one of the better moments of Nintendo creativity, even in the context the long, storied and ridiculously prestigious history of its most visible mascot. Thankfully, what was once a Wii U exclusive has moved to a console that…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The defining quality of any of the titles in the Persona series is the characters. The turn-based combat is engaging enough, as is the dungeon crawling, but it’s the cast, their relationships, and the dramas – both hilarious and tragic – that really draws the player…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We probably don’t have too many more entries in the Gal*Gun series to look forward to. Sony has pulled the plug on the series, and at the very last moment, Microsoft pulled back on this new one, Gal*Gun Returns, which was originally scheduled for an Xbox…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Japanese game developer and publisher, Voltage, is certainly prolific. Since 2011 the otome specialist has published multiple titles per year, and as many as 11(!) in one particular year (2014). Her Love In The Force is one of those 2014 titles, which has been localised and…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Neoverse is a highly enjoyable digital card game, but it also represents the worst of video games as an art form. This is not to say that it’s weighed down with microtransactions and similarly scummy revenue models, because it’s mercifully free of those. It’s just that…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The kind of experience that Dungeon Nightmares 1 & 2 champion is the kind of thing that goes down really well with YouTube and Twitch. Do a search for either title and you’ll see a wall of “OH! LOOK HOW SCARY IT IS!” and “SCARIEST GAME…
