Review by Ginny W. There are some games that are better off played in the privacy of your own home. No one wants to board a bus, find a comfy seat, and realise that the person sitting next to them is playing God of War on the Vita and that…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. There are plenty of games that hark back to a simpler time, when RPGs were heavily text-based affairs and had reasonably light-hearted narratives to carry them along. In a way, Lionheart is one of those games that resides within the shell of a visual novel, and…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I’ve been excited for Tacoma ever since its original promotional screens from years ago, but upon playing it I think this isn’t really a game to get excited about.
