JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sega/Yakuza/Yakuza 0

Review by Matt S. In Yakuza 0, a typical night out starts with a wander through a red-light district, eventually dropping in at an adult video hire place that allows you to watch softcore gravure videos of your favourite ladies. Then you’ll wander over to the other side of town…

Indie/indie games/Japanese indie game/JRPG/MokyuSoft; Culture Select/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Steam/Tactics RPG

Review by Matt S. Years after the PlayStation Vita has finally been laid to rest, and even the Japanese developers and publishers who are still supporting it have stopped, I’m going to continue playing it for many years to come. The main reasons for that are twofold: on the one…

Review by Matt S. Before I started playing Fate/Extella, I had no real idea of what the Fate series was. I’d watched the Fate/Zero anime, but wasn’t really sure of what was going on in that one. I think it says a lot about Fate/Extella’s quality that I’m now watching…
