Review by Matt S. The developer of Salt & Sanctuary got very lucky. The Dark Souls remaster was meant to be the first Dark Souls-like game on Nintendo Switch, but with that apparently stuck in limbo, Salt & Sanctuary gets to be first to the table instead. It’ll probably do…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Capcom was never going to be content releasing just one collection of Mega Man X games; And so here we have a review of the second “collection,” which contains the second half of Mega Man X Legacy; X5 through to X8. For the most part, these…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Hot on the heels of the excellent Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, Capcom has seen fit to provide the world with even more nostalgia by releasing not one, but two Legacy Collections for the Mega Man X series. Not to be confused with the other two…
Read MoreReview by Tyler T. It’s only fitting that Path of Motus, a game centered around learning from one’s mistakes and self-betterment, is in fact a remake of Sententia, one of the Xbox 360’s ugliest and critically dismissed titles. When it was released in 2012, the title had little going for…

It’s a game which isn’t interested in celebrating the player’s achievement or relishing in the player’s chagrin. Instead, it propagates a quiet melancholy aesthetic in its design – dwelling upon the…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. The second Legacy Collection contains Mega Man games 7 to 10. Of course, this is two less games than the first collection. However, the games were released on later hardware and contained more elements than the original six so there is still plenty to do in…
