I HAVE to admit, I have a soft spot for those retro games which are all the rage right now.
That magical golden age of consoles through the 1980s and 1990s, with successive leaps from 8-bit to 16-bit and beyond, make it hard for me to be objective and honestly, I’d be lying if I said my views on Tonight We Riot, developed by Pixel Pushers Union 512, aren’t coloured by a deep sense of personal nostalgia.
If chip music and pixel art really aren’t your thing and can’t whisk you away to a warm and fuzzy place, this might not be for you.
