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…

The Friday Ten: Koei Tecmo’s ten “best girls”

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…

Review: WitchSpring3 [Re:Fine] (Nintendo Switch)

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),…

News by Matt S. Nexomon: Extinction was a really nice surprise when it launched on consoles last year. A Pokemon “clone” that did some interesting things with the Pokemon formula, this was one of the better mobile-to-console ports that we’ve seen. Apparently, it was a success because the publisher, PQube,…
