Early Access/Game maker/Hands-On Impressions/Pixel Game Maker MV/Preview/Previews

Preview by Harvard L. As someone who writes about games I’m always both fascinated by and apprehensive of the jump towards developing my own: I have a level of head knowledge about systems, stories and mechanics that work from a larger scale, but each time I try to translate these…

Review by Lindsay M. I am honestly not sure what I thought when I picked up Escape From Chernobyl. It’s developed by Atypical Games, the company behind Radiation Island… and it’s pretty much Radiation Island with a much darker location and general feel. The problem is, the developers decided to…

News by Matt S. I can’t think of a more perfect match-up then Reigns, a game all about deconstructing the realpolitik, and Game of Thrones, which serves as a savage interpretation.

JRPG/open world game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sega/Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami 2

Review by Matt S. Just think about this; the Yakuza series was once very, very niche outside of Japan. Now, this is the fourth title released in English in the past two years. Something has clicked with players, and SEGA has been ready to capitalise in a big way. Related…

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…

Idea Factory/Idea Factory International/iOS/Neptunia & Friends/News

News by Matt S. A fair few years ago now, before Idea Factory had a direct presence in the local market, NISA localised all of its Hyperdimension Neptunia titles. This included a simple iOS application that brought Nep Nep and a clock together, allowing you to wake up 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…
