Review by Matt S. I actually think – and the existence of Alone Musc backs this up – that rhythm games are the most difficult things for independent developers to create. In theory, they should be quite easy, right? It’s not like the genre is known for AAA-budget graphics or…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. In 2022, I do hope developers learn to properly pair narrative genres with gameplay mechanics. Horror is a difficult genre to get right; it’s not just about having ugly monsters and creepy houses. It requires a carefully creative hand to guide players on a journey. It…

With Gomoku Let’s Go, we have another classic and revered board game that can now be played on Switch. In one way or another you can now play Chess, Shogi, Go, Backgammon and Gomoku on the console, and I would argue that those five games are close to the canon…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I didn’t enjoy Epic Dumpster Bear 2: He Who Bears Wins. It’s an ugly and trashy (ha!) experience that has been cobbled together with what seems to be a dozen different asset packs, as are dumped on Humble Bundle from time to time. It’s a pacy…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Real Boxing 2 doesn’t belong on the Nintendo Switch… or any other console. It’s not completely unplayable, but it offers nothing more than the worst edges of the mobile game grind, with absolutely no depth nor reason to worth through the feels like the kind of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Danganronap Decadence contains the existing trilogy of Danganronpa 1, 2, and 3, as well as the all-new Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. I’m not going to review the three numbered games again. I’ve already written my piece on each of those with their respective Vita releases…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ve spent a lot of time over the past weekend trying to understand what Date Night Bowling is. It’s got a gorgeous 80’s and 90’s style aesthetic, with plenty of neon colours and that CRT filter to double-down on that nostalgic edge. And it is nostalgic.…
