Video by Matt S. Lost Judgment is brilliant on just about every level; it has the same sense of humour as the Yakuza series, and the same quality action. At the same time, just like with Judgment before it, the shift in perspective, from yakuza members to detectives, offers up…
Read MoreVideo by Harvard L. We do like a good game with dice, and Dice Legacy certainly did catch our attention for its dice. It’s a very dice-filled game. Harvard gives the game a full spin on Nintendo Switch ahead of his review later in the week. Be sure to keep…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Tales of Arise is absolutely spectacular, but one of the most interesting things about it is that, for a series that is usually considered “gameplay first, narrative second,” this one has an absolutely incredible and thought-provoking narrative. So, in this video, I discuss one of the…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. There’s an insidious little myth out there that suggests that “gamers” want what the AAA industry churns out. It’s used to justify just about everything the AAA industry does. If it were true there wouldn’t be so many examples of games selling multiple millions of copies…

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. I’ve been looking forward to King’s Bounty II a great deal. I love pulp fantasy, I love B-grade RPGs. This one always looked like a thing I would love. I wasn’t disappointed. This game is by no means something for everyone, but for genre fans it’s…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Tales of Arise is going to be something special. From just the first hour with the demo, I can already see that this game has it all; gorgeous aesthetics, amazing characters, and a combat system that JRPG fans are going to love. I remain terrible as…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Fort Triumph is a brilliant idea: It’s XCOM meets Heroes of Might & Magic, and with Ubisoft having destroyed Heroes, an indie bringing that kind of gameplay back is downright noble. Unfortunately, in execution, the game hurts itself with a lack of depth and a lazy…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Samurai Warriors 5 is upon us, the latest in my very most favourite series of all. This one is a really good one, too. A really, really good one. My review goes in-depth into the game itself, and its many (many) qualities. For this video, though,…
