Review by Matt S. The only right way to play Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight is to play them together. Individually they’re a little limited, but taken together they’re a marvellous celebration of the incredible music that has powered so much of the tone…

Ghost of a Tale looks like the most delightful little game

News by Matt S. Ghost of a Tale is a stealth action game by a tiny development team (SeithCG), and yet you wouldn’t tell that it’s such a small-scale production. It looks every bit the part of a mid-tier release, and it has had an enormously positive reception on PC…

Review by Matt S. With the death of THQ, many of us who were fans of the original Darksiders and its sequel assumed that it would be the last that we saw of the series. Then Nordic Games (now THQ Nordic) grabbed the license for itself, formed up a new…

Opinion by Matt S. It’s a little over a week until Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lands on people’s Nintendo Switches, and, inevitably for such a high profile title, that means some people have already got the game.

Preview by Matt S. If there’s one thing that Fire Emblem Heroes proved without a shadow of a doubt, it’s that the mechanics of a tactics JRPG can be tailored for mobile quite nicely. Langrisser has, over the years, been Fire Emblem’s closest rival, and Langrisser’s development team apparently noticed…
