Review: Darksiders Genesis (PC)

December 13, 2019

action RPG/Darksiders/Darksiders Genesis/Diablo clone/PC Review/Reviews/RPG/THQ Nordic

Review by Matt S. I could feel that something like Darksiders Genesis was coming. Though the first two Darksiders titles were impressive games, they were also beholden to a kind of design that was never going to stick around. Darksiders 3, which I generally enjoyed, nonetheless showed just how difficult…

Review: Blair Witch (Sony PlayStation 4)

Review by Harvard L. Bloober Team’s take on Blair Witch is an admirable attempt, but an ultimately flawed game. It’s a horror title which has the player wandering in the woods of Burkittsville (previously Blair), the same space which the Blair Witch films took place. It aims for a similar…

Video by Matt S. I love pinball, of course, so this week’s surprise drop of three new tables (seriously, I didn’t know they were coming) was welcome indeed. Especially when it includes my favourite pinball table of all: Tales of the Arabian Nights. In this video I take a quick…

Review by Matt S. I have one issue with Transport Fever 2, which I’m going to throw into the introduction, so I can then talk about everything that I love about this game: unlike most other transport business simulators there are no rivals, AI or player. In Transport Fever 2…

Review: Princess Maker Go!Go! Princess (Nintendo Switch)

board game/digital board game/Nintendo Switch/Princess Maker/Princess Maker Go!Go! Princess/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Princess Maker Go!Go! Princess is an odd thing to release in English. Really, really odd. It’s a board game spinoff of a series of life simulation titles that has had a really (really) marginal impact outside of Japan, and the series itself has been dormant everywhere…

Review by Matt S. As a publisher, FuRyu has never been adverse to taking on projects that tackle some astoundingly complex, nuanced topics. The Caligula Effect was a deconstruction on supernormal stimulants and the potential for virtual existence. Lost Dimension took the prisoner’s dilemma questions of Danganronpa and ramped it…

Review by Harvard L. AVICII Invector is a comprehensive, inspiring tribute to the works of Tim Bergling or AVICII, the pioneering electronic dance musician (EDM) who tragically passed away in 2018. In a career spanning three albums, one posthumous, AVICII pushed the limits of the EDM genre by fusing together…
