Review by Matt S. Resident Evil 3 is both really well made and not good at all. As a big action gorefest it gets the job done, and like a Michael Bay film Resident Evil 3 barely gives you a second to breathe before it kicks into high gear. What’s…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Say what you like about the quality of the Arc System Works licensed fighters (no, I’m not a massive fan of that Dragon Ball one), one thing that is undeniable is that the team make sure that every fighting game spin-off they work on is reflective…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I don’t know if H.P. Lovecraft would be particularly fond of Moons of Madness. It bills itself as a “Lovecraftian game” because it has space tentacles in it, but it largely misses the nuance and intellectual depth of Lovecraft’s body of work. Push past that and…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Koei Tecmo’s Nioh was a breakthrough in so many ways. It represented the first time that a developer outside of FromSoftware had figured out the X-factor that made FromSoftware’s Dark Souls and Bloodborne such incredible experiences. Koei also managed to do so while keeping a firm…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Football (yes, yes, “soccer” in some parts) is a highly tactical sport. Sure, players don’t run around in turn-based fashion, but the ebb and flow of a match, and the way that each player has their defined role and ability set… well, it’s all downright Final…
