2064: Read Only Memories/adventure game/adventure games/Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/visual novel

Review by Britta S. My first moments in 2064: ROM were brief: I went into “Options” to adjust settings, and the game promptly froze on me. My last moment in-game occurred when I reached the Epilogue and felt the urge to wet my whistle at the now familiar Stardust bar;…

Earthlock: Festival of Magic/Indie/JRPG/Norway/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. The retro-throwback JRPG has been a genuine trend in recent years, and it’s not just in the indie space, either. I Am Setsuna and Bravely Default, for example, are games published by the godfather of the genre, Square Enix. Related reading: Our interview with the developer…

For Honor/PlayStation 4/Preview/PS4 Preview/Ubisoft

Preview by Matt S. I’m going to say this upfront: I have real, deep, issues with how For Honor presents its characters and the narrative context for the game. The game promises us the opportunity to deal with that popular historical hypothetical puzzle of which warrior would win between a…

Article by Matt S. Help. I think I have a new addiction. And that addiction is called Pokemon Duel. For whatever reason, this mobile (iOS and Android) game was released in some 60 countries outside of Japan with almost no fanfare, despite being, by all accounts, quite popular in its…
