Review: Dungeon Nightmares 1 + 2 Collection (Nintendo Switch)

January 22, 2021

Horror/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Roguelike/Survival Horror/Switch Review

Review 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…

News by Matt S. Developer, Toybox Games, and publisher, Arc System Works, have announced that Kowloon Highschool Chronicle will be released on the Nintendo eShop in the west on February 4. This is a dungeon crawler that you’ve probably not heard of before, but it really does look like it…

Review by Matt S. Every so often you come across a gadget that you just love, and one that fits exactly in with your own preferences and lifestyl. The EPOS 270 Hybrid wireless earbuds are an example of that for me. I generally prefer earbuds to big, bulky headsets. They’re…

Review: Curling (Nintendo Switch)

January 21, 2021

Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Sport Game/Sports/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. People like to tease the sport of curling, and it’s such an abstract little game that the response to it is understandable. It’s like lawn bowls, on ice, where two of the athletes use brooms to “sweep” the ice for reasons that aren’t immediately apparent. Of…

genre/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. This is an out-and-out thought bubble that I’ve had musing around in my head for a while. It’s not a substantiated piece, but merely observational, based on how I see us talk about – and categorise – games in comparison to other art forms. The more…

News by Matt S. How often do we get a game that’s based on opera themes? Not often. How often do those games have talent of the calibre of Tokyo Ghoul’s creator onboard? Even less so. Jack Jeanne is one of those rare events, and it looks absolutely stunning. It’s…

News by Matt S. Kingdoms of Amalur is one of the better western RPG properties out there, and THQ Nordic did a good thing acquiring the rights to it from EA and then re-releasing it on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One last year after it seemed like it was going…

Review: Red Colony (Nintendo Switch)

January 19, 2021

Art Game/erotic/fan service/Horror/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/sex/Survival Horror/Switch reviews

Review by Matt S. Wow is Red Colony a red hot mess. About the only thing that saves it is that it is so unpolished that it’s difficult to determine if its nastier edges were intended or simply because the developer that didn’t have a firm grasp on what they…

Review: Rhythm Fighter (Nintendo Switch)

January 19, 2021

China/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/rhythm game/Roguelike/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Rhythm Fighter suffers from excess. In trying to be so many mechanical and structural elments, and then backing it up with so much happening on screen at once, it loses any sense of balance that it might otherwise have had. While it’s a noble and even…
