I hope it’s clear by now that Rive is excellently made, and I had a great time flying through space alongside Roughshot. It’s clear that the developers behind it were passionate about making the best experience possible. Rive holds its ground among the best 2D shooters available on PSN –...
The issues I have with the game are minor, though, and not things that the game itself wants people to focus on. In that context, I can’t stress enough how much I’ve enjoyed Dark Rose Valkyrie, and it’s not just because of Ai’s pink and lacy bra and panties (I’d...
I came away from Tekken 7 with a greater appreciation for the series than I went in. I enjoyed my time with the story mode, and it did help me to better understand the unique flow to combat that the game has. I also really enjoyed some of the newer...
But I don’t want to leave you with that only gross taste in your mouth about the game. Spellspire is good enough to play for a few hours, good enough to talk about a bit, good enough to praise for the developers’ understanding of game progression… but also easy enough...
Cladun is limited, in the sense that it’s a game with an incredibly basic gameplay loop, and little beyond that to keep the attention of players. With that being said, it’s a game that stuck a big ol’ smile on my face, and that wasn’t just because I had Hatsune...
The ultimate question, if you’re reading this review, is where you stack up with World to the West. My answer to this question is hails back to coffee: while there are universal truths to do with coffee (e.g., Starbucks’ is best avoided), some of us would argue in favour of...
Injustice 2 is a very solid fighting game that has not changed a whole lot mechanically from the last offering. Visually it is a step forward, but the narrative is a step back. I cannot entirely share the feeling that this is going to be a title that is meant...
It’s got all that, but it’s also got Baiken, and she alone is reason enough to recommend this to everyone.
Every year NHK does a television series like Sanada Maru. This year the focus has been on one of the most prominent women of the Sengoku period (and one of the very few who was head of a noble family for any meaningful length of time), Ii Naotora. I rather...
Which brings me right back to where I started this review – LocoRoco can be confusing, wearisome and infuriating at times, but it’s still impossible to stay mad at it for long. It’s a happy game without gratuitous conflict or drama, and its sheer optimism alone prevents its shortcomings from...
Related reading: For another tactics JRPG just recently released, there’s a new Fire Emblem on the 3DS, and it’s a great game itself! Matt’s full review.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd is a love letter for fans, a final send-off for some beloved characters and fitting conclusions to endearing storylines. The likeable characters kept me interested and never left me feeling as though the development team had gone to the same...
