Assassin's Creed/Discovery Tour/News/Ubisoft

By Matt C. We all know that if there’s one thing that matters above all else in a video game, it’s capital-c Content. How big is the map, how much is there to do, how long will you spend playing it—these are the questions gamers want answers to, and these…

Review by Matt S. There isn’t that much that I can say about Bayonetta 2 and its predecessor that I haven’t already. I reviewed Bayonetta 2 when it was released on the Wii U, and this is almost a straight port of that game. The original comes as a bonus…

Review by Matt S. Fantasy Hero is trashy. It was trashy on its original release on the PlayStation Vita, and on the very long list of games I’d like to see released on the Nintendo Switch, this one is nowhere close to it. But, the Switch is the “in” console…

News by Matt S. Dungeons & Dragons is the biggest name in tabletop gaming, ever. There’s nothing quite like sitting around a table playing the game with friends, and there’s such a depth of fantasy, magic, amazing settings and gameplay mechanics that it should be a no-brainer that the tabletop…

Review by Harvard L. The Switch has its fair share of top-down shoot-em-ups, but most take heavy influence from the arcade philosophy of design: three lives, high scores and punishing difficulty.

News by Matt S. Of all the tactics JRPGs that have been released in recent years (yes, including Fire Emblem, Disgaea 5 and Dynasty Wars: Godseekers), God Wars is by far my favourite. Developed by Kadokawa Games and released on the PlayStation 4, this is a game that took traditional…

Review by Matt S. Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the most dense, lengthy, weighty books written in any language. It’s 2,339 pages long. For context, War and Peace, the historical novel that people always love to reference as being a massive slog of a read, is barely…
