action RPG/JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG/visual novel/Xuan-Yuan Sword VII

Review by Matt S. We are doing something very different with this review. It’s an experiment for now, and who knows how it will go in the future. Hopefully, we can do more of these in kind, but if they’re not working like we hope, then we can always pull…

Sega/Video/Video review/Yakuza/Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Video by Matt S. The latest in SEGA’s beloved Yakuza series, Like A Dragon, is an excellent game indeed. But most people already knew that would be the case. What a lot of people are less aware of is that the entire series is also very heavily rooted in a…

Review by Matt S. No More Heroes 1 & 2 was a surprise drop on the Nintendo Switch last week. It makes sense that they would make their way to the console, given that Goichi Suda is gearing up to the big release of No More Heroes 3 soon enough.…

JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sega/turn based/Yakuza/Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Review by Matt S. When I first heard that there was a turn-based Yakuza game on the way, I had no idea how it was going to work, but I was certainly intrigued by the potential of a Yakuza X Persona cross-over. Yakuza titles are always known for being a…

Australia/Horror/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/stalker horror/Survival Horror/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Clea is the kind of game that you’ll want to champion, because it is clearly a labour of love deal. It’s the product of a largely one-man Aussie indie developer, and it comes with a strong vision, some lovely aesthetics, and all the right ideas. It’s…
