Man of Medan/News/Supermassive Games/The Dark Pictures

News by Matt S. Until Dawn was certainly a highlight for Supermassive Games, the UK-based developer that wasn’t overly well known before it. A slick homage to the teen slasher horror of the 80’s and 90’s, it wasn’t perfect, but it was one of the key earlier releases in the…

Retro by Matt S. It’s been a while since I did a retro reflections piece, but I’ve been playing Super Pinball Action quite a lot in recent weeks, so I thought I would write a little thing about it. Super Pinball Action was an arcade game that came to us…

We’ve got a theme going on this week – all retro, all episode! We kick things off by talking about games that haven’t held up well at all (yes, GoldenEye 007. We go there). We also then talk about the sad demise of Emuparadise as an archive of the classics……

Labyrinth of Refrain is a Nippon Ichi-developed dungeon crawler that melds that company’s love of fairy tales (think Witch and the Hundred Knight) with the first person dungeon crawler (think Wizardry). Think enough about that combination and you’ll quickly realise that this is one exciting prospect.…

Review by Brad L. It is hard to believe that the original Guacamelee! came out five years ago. The amazing 2D platformer that took inspiration from things as wide-ranging as Mexican culture and the Metroid series is still one of the best finest games in the past decade. Thankfully, Guacamelee!…

Review: Bad North (Nintendo Switch)

Bad North/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Roguelike/Strategy/Switch Review/tactics/tactics game

Review by Matt S. Bad North’s description: “minimalistic, real-time tactics roguelite,” sounds like it’s the latest in the ongoing irritating habit that indie developers have to throw every buzzword they can think of into their descriptions. It’s almost always a desperate bid to try and make their game stand out…
