Review by Matt S. Just as Dungeons & Dragons dominates the pen-and-paper RPG space, Warhammer dominates the tabletop gaming space. It’s not the only tabletop miniatures game, though if you were to look at the video game industry, you could be forgiven for thinking that it was the only one;…
Read MoreArticle by Matt S. I do try and avoid these mobile gatcha games. After getting lost down the rabbit hole with Fire Emblem Heroes for far too long (Lyn in a wedding dress really… set me off…), I realised I really should avoid these things. It’s not like I have…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s weird to get an expansion pack for a game that we don’t have in its base form on a console, but here you go: The first Romance of the Three Kingdoms to release on the Nintendo Switch in the west is the expansion (with the…

This PlayStation 4 (playable on PS5) release includes some quality of life improvements based on player feedback, but is functionally the same…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Pikmin 3 Deluxe doesn’t do much over and above what it did on the Wii U, where it was initially released (and, indeed, was one of the early-era games by Nintendo on that console). To be entirely honest I’m actually going to plagiarise my own review…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. One of our favourite games of the year came out of nowhere. Happinet decided to revive Brigandine, a somewhat forgotten “classic” from the PlayStation 1 era for the modern audience. Sporting a new narrative and some truly gorgeous art, it greatly impressed us on its original…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Transformers: Battlegrounds is one of the best things to happen to the property in years.
