Review: Punch Line (Sony PlayStation 4)

September 3, 2018

PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Punch Line/Reviews/visual novel

Review by Matt S. “See panties twice, cause the apocalypse.” It’s like a perverse flip of that old tagline from the TV series, Heroes: “save the cheerleader, save the world.” More importantly, if there is a more out there tagline for an anime property, I’ve never heard it. Now, I’ve…

Review: Nekopara Vol. 1 (Nintendo Switch)

August 31, 2018

Nekopara/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/visual novel

Review by Matt S. Nekopara is not the first adult visual novel to have had its more pornographic elements shaved off for the benefit of a console release. Utawarerumono on the PlayStation 4, and Eiyuu Senki on the PlayStation 3 are both very notable examples where the developers have kept…

News by Matt S. SEGA has announced a tiny, tiny update to Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone on PlayStation 4. It’s so small that normally it wouldn’t be worth mentioning, but given that SEGA has all but given up on our favourite digital idol, it’s nice to be able…

News by Lindsay M. We first had the pleasure of playing Hyakki Castle when it was released for PC in 2017, and Matt gave it a high rating, praising its combination of a Western approach to a dungeon crawler with Japanese themes. And today, the game has been released on…

News by Matt S. Utawarerumono really impressed us last year in offering a lovely mix of visual novel and tactics JRPG, and it seems to have resonated on a large enough scale that the developers are building on its vision; there’s an action JRPG on the way, called Utawarerumono Zan,…

Review: F1 2018 (Sony PlayStation 4)

August 30, 2018

Codemasters/F1/F1 2018/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Racing Game/Reviews/Serious Racing Game

Review by Matt S. Codemasters is reliable with F1, and that’s just as well, given that it’s my racing event. I’m happy to give rally and V8s a miss, and downright glad that NASCAR isn’t a thing down this way. F1, though, is where you’ll find me up at the…
