Art Game/Indie/itch.io/list/Top 10/top 5

List by Matt S. I’m a big fan of itch.io for the freedom and open platform that it allows for developers to be creative, experimental, and directly canvas the audience for feedback for games that are not yet ready for primetime on Steam and its ilk. In addition, itch.io allows…

Review by Lindsay M.If you’re like me, you’ve seen Groundhog Day more times than you can count and it has become the basis of comparison for every form of media ever created around the subject of time loops repeating until the protagonist can get it “right.” Twelve Minutes is one…

August 20, 2021

Koei Tecmo/list/The Friday 10/Top 10

List by Matt S. One of the most distinctive qualities of Koei Tecmo is that its games feature the prettiest people. Koei has a mastery over beauty that often draws ire, especially when its depiction borders on the pin-up, but that quality also places Koei somewhere in the same area…

August 20, 2021

Indie/JRPG/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Unfortunately, WitchSpring3 [Re:Fine] is simply not a good game. There’s the germ of a good idea in there, and as someone that loves Atelier and JRPGs that respect your time, I loved that this one was a brief experience of a few dozen hours (at most),…

Curious Expedition/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Roguelike/RPG/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. I never did review the original Curious Expedition. But I did do a video on it. In that video, I called it a “cracking roguelike.” Given that Curious Expedition 2 is better than the original, I guess that makes this game “cracking+”. It could have gone…
