I don’t have too much to say about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on the Nintendo Switch 2, as I already reviewed the game on PlayStation a few years ago, other than to say that, much like its predecessor, it feels like it’s a minor miracle that it’s on the console, and it’s amazing to be able to have this game…
I am so bad at Sektori, but I love it so much. Originally released back in 2025, to some blistering good reviews, but only some (for some weird reason, the game has largely missed critics and audiences alike), Sektori is finally available on the Nintendo Switch 2, which I would…

When Tales of Arise was released back in 2021, it was a pretty pointed and interesting essay on oppression, revolution, and what comes after. You can probably see where this review of the new Switch 2 complete release, coming in 2026, is going. As I noted in my review of…

When I think about the correct term to describe Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, I find myself alternating between “whimsical”, “playful” and “twee”. It’s also saccharine, and that will make it polarising to an extent, but then if you’re not open to Yoshi melting your heart, I would argue that…

Every so often, a game gets released that gets all kinds of kudos, but when I sit down to play it, none of the “hype” makes sense to me. Mouse: P.I. For Hire is an example of that. This game makes no sense to me. Mouse: P.I. For Hire should…

Fuck AI. Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it. Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi is a good example of why game developers should never touch Gen AI. It’s an actual insult to the intelligence that Kazuma Kaneko would actually put his name to this and believe that people would just accept it. For…

The Two Point series has a lot to answer for. Yes, SEGA’s brand of casual business simulations is silly and charming, and it’s fun to see what whacky schools, hospitals and museums you can cobble together. But in their desperate effort to be feel-good fun times, the Two Point series…

I went into Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream, having not played the original, and not really followed it. That is to say, I went in entirely unprepared for the utterly surreal experience that awaited me. I started by making myself, as is fairly standard for “life sim” games like these.…

I suppose it was inevitable that at some stage, some indie developer would look at Scrabble and think to themselves “Roguelike!” After all, that r-word seems to be perennially glued into the indie developer mindset these days. Despite my growing hesitancy to touch anything with said r-word in the feature…

There was a time when Capcom was the most experimental game publisher, by a long way. Those of us who had PS2s and GameCubes at the time will remember that alongside the likes of Resident Evil 4, Capcom developed highly experimental stuff like P.N.03 and published Killer7, which was the…
