Review by Matt S. I previously reviewed Talisman when it released on PlayStation 4, and so I’m going to re-publish much of that review below, as it comes from the same developer, and is functionally the same game on Nintendo Switch. There’s even the massively expansive (and expensive) approach to…

Video by Matt S. With COVID-19 running rampant across the planet, it makes sense that a lot of people have pandemics on the mind, and indeed that Soderbergh film, Contagion, is having a whole new lease on life. There are video games that deal with the social and logistical concerns…

Review by Matt S. SeaBed is a rather precious thing; it might look amateurish in its aesthetics, and even by visual novel standards it lacks interactivity, but it’s also a remarkable bit of storytelling, and one that defies expectations at every turn and refuses to take the low road. It…

Atlus/JRPG/Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal/Sega/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Persona 5 Royal is the “.5” version of Persona 5, which brings some 30 hours more gameplay into the base game, which was already very bloated. The base game is wonderful, and the new additions that the sequel bring are every bit as good. And yet,…

Review by Matt S. It’s particularly hard to review sports titles – especially those that have annual iterations. Just what do you talk about when the improvements from one to the next are largely tweaks around the edges, and veterans are going to either buy the game or not before…

Video by Matt S. I do indeed like sports games, which I know surprises some people given what I generally play and talk about, but I do make a habit of keeping an eye on most of the major sports games properties out there, and of those, Sony’s MLB: The…
