Review by Matt S. It’s been a long time since my last “new” Soulcalibur title. I was a big fan of Soulcalibur 2 in both the arcades and on my GameCube, and I did enjoy the HD remaster of that on PlayStation 3. Otherwise, though, I’ve largely skipped this series.…

News by Lindsay M. Originally announced back in August, The Waylanders is described as a time-travelling fantasy RPG inspired by games such as Dragon Age and Neverwinter Nights 2. It is one of my much-anticipated titles (despite my terrible fear of time travel), and I’m thrilled to see that it…

Review by Matt S. “Warriors Orochi 4 is so mindless and repetitive and yadda yadda yadda.” These reviews write themselves. They’re wrong, but it’s almost a standard approach to take with this series, and Warriors Orochi 4 is almost certainly going to be the latest victim of that. But in…

Review: Space Hulk: Tactics (Sony PlayStation 4)

Review by Matt S. Cyanide might not be the most renowned developer out there, but if there’s any genre I would trust the team with implicitly, it’s in virtualising old board games. The difference in quality between Space Hulk: Tactics, and the previous Space Hulk title (Ascension), is truly impressive.…

Review: Starlink: Battle for Atlas (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. Starlink: Battle for Atlas comes across as very, very confused. In theory it’s Ubisoft’s take on toys-to-life , much like Skylanders or Disney Infinity, and certainly Ubisoft would love for people to buy its plastic spaceships and little heroes. But then it undercuts itself because everything…

Fusty Game/Jet Set Radio/Midgar Studios/Nintendo Switch/parkour/Plug In Digital/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt C. Hover sets out with the ambitious goal of filling the gap left by Jet Set Radio. It’s got the same sort of colourful but oppressive world, and the same sort of pumping techno soundtrack. It’s got a similar story of youthful rebellion against an authoritarian regime,…

Review by Matt S. Game Dev Story is a genuine classic. Originally a humble little iPhone title, featuring a cute sense of humour and colourful characters, it really was the title that launched its developer, Kairosoft, into the stratosphere, and has since led to dozens of other casual simulation titles.…
