Review by Tyler T. Fresh off the huge success of Dragon Ball FighterZ, Arc System Works is back with yet another tag-based fighting game.

Review by Lindsay M.The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker is one of those titles that immediately jumped out at me for several reasons. First, FMV games are my everything. Second, Doctor Dekker essentially allows me to become a psychiatrist, interacting with patients and shaping their lives. Third, I have always…

A new horror game, called Agony, released recently, and it is, by a significant margin, the best depiction of hell that we’ve seen to date. So we discuss how hell should be depicted in a game first up this week. We also talk about Assassin’s Creed, now that a new…

Review by Matt S. I like to think that when it comes to games inspired by cinema, I’ve seen and studied enough films that I know the context through which the game was born. However, Milanoir is an exception to that rule. Milanoir is inspired by the poliziotteschi, or Italian…

Agony/hell/Horror/PlayStation 4/Poland/PS4 Review/Reviews/Survival Horror

Review by Matt S. I sympathise with any developer that tackles hell as a topic and setting for their work. Especially the Judeo-Christian concept of hell. See, the problem with hell is that it, by its very nature, needs to be depraved. It needs to be shocking, grotesque and extreme.…

Review by Matt S. I have a long history with Kingdom of Loathing (or KoL, as fans fondly know it by). It sustained me through my student years where I couldn’t afford much of anything, let alone games, by being both genuinely free, and online multiplayer focused and therefore endless…

Review by Matt S. The digital pinball space is surprisingly competitive, given how niche pinball is these days. Zen Studios and its brilliant original creations via Pinball FX 3 and Farsight Studios with its physics-perfect recreation of classic tables in The Pinball Arcade absolutely dominate the genre, and there’s not…
