Puyo Puyo Tetris is one of those genius ideas that shouldn’t work… and yet somehow does. I don’t think, prior to the first Puyo Puyo Tetris landing, that anyone thought that bringing together such disparate puzzle games as Puyo Puyo and Tetris was going to result in anything but an unsalvagable...
One of the real highlights for Feynx Rising is the way the story was told. It’s framed as a story-within-a-story, as an imprisoned Prometheus relates the tale of our hero to Zeus, as the gods face their existential threat. Of course, with the Greek gods being the fickle and selfish...
– Matt S. Editor-in-ChiefFind me on Twitter: @mattsainsbThe critic was provided with a copy of this game for review.
As a rule, I prefer more recent aesthetics with character design in visual novels. The shape and design of the heads in Root Double, in particular, are from a bygone era and I would have enjoyed seeing some effort to do something like Yu-No or Higurashi on PC, where players...
Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate was excellent on PlayStation Vita, and it remains excellent on Nintendo Switch. There are a lot of roguelikes available on this console at this point, but there’s something about the classical elegance and adherence to genre tradition that...
I haven’t been as conflicted about a rhythm game as I have Melody of Memory. On the one hand, the rhythm game action itself is wonderful and the music, across 140 tracks, is sublime. On the other hand, being forced to play through a truncated and baffling summary of the...
I wanted Replica to say a lot more than it did. We’re living in a time where governments are becoming more aggressive in snooping into people’s lives and for the first time since McCarthy, being branded as a “communist” is shifting from being someone who the right-wing impotently laugh at...
Another great benefit of Pure Pool is just how comprehensive the package is. There are six different types of pool to play, ranging from US 8-Ball and Snooker through to less traditional variations like Killer and Accumulator. You can play games against the AI offline or, of course, online play....
Serious Sam remains the perfect foil to all the self-serious and often toxic shooters that we see today. All three games (and the two DLC expansions) that are contained in this collection are pure, unmitigated fun, and there’s not a single (admittedly high-quality) rendition of Ronald Reagan across any of...
I do think that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will mean more to people who have played Breath of the Wild, and that’s fine. For Zelda fans, there’s no way they haven’t played it anyway. For Musou fans coming to Age of Calamity from that angle, the sell’s a little...
I’ve considered why that is, why I wanted to find my personal match first. I think it’s because everything in the game feels so intimate that I don’t want to talk (or “talk”) to someone if it requires forced conversation. There is something about seeing nothing but a person’s face,...
From 1945 through to 1991, the world existed in a state of perpetual tension as two superpowers – The Soviet Union and the United States – vied for control over the planet and its resources. Now, as the world heads into a second Cold War between the United States and...
