Review by Matt S. Plague Road frustrates me, because it is so good, and yet there should be so much more to it. It’s plays beautifully, looks superb, is a lot of fun, and offers just the right balance of challenge. It’s good enough that after playing it a great…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. WWE2K18 cover star Seth Rollins has a new catchphrase in WWE: “burn it down”. This could not be a more apt saying for WWE2K18 on the Switch. It should be acknowledged that pro-wrestling, just like video games and anime, is a form of art, and when…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Tactical Mind is an inexpensive, basic, and highly abstract strategy board game. With its Tron-like neon aesthetic, it’s certainly stylish enough, but as a massive (massive) Tron fan I can say that that’s the least interesting thing about the game. I came for the aesthetic, but…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Gorogoa is one of the most beautiful puzzle games ever made, and it’s an experience which would enrich the lives of anyone who played it. It’s part picture book, part adventure game, reminiscent of Loveshack’s Framed and Nyamyam’s Tengami, and yet predating both those games. Developed…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. There’s a first for everything. I never thought that a poor translation would ruin a game. There are certainly poor translations of Japanese games out there; I grew up in those heady days with Square before it became Square Enix and I remember what Final Fantasy…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Enter the Gungeon is a top-down procedurally generated shooter which asks the age-old question of “what if everything was more like a gun?” It’s an irreverent and lighthearted game which is one of the most kinetic of its ilk, merging danmaku mechanics with interactive environments to…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Feral Fury is a violent top down shooter featuring militaristic pandas in a post-apocalyptic environment, and it’s a pretty good game. I feel like that’s all the description a game like this needs – it’s made by Skandivania Games out of Norway, a two person team…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. I went through a brief period of wanting to be an idol when I was a child. For the uninitiated, or if you didn’t grow up participating in Asian culture, an idol is someone who captures the heart of a nation through song and dance. That…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. I don’t write enough about local multiplayer experiences at DDNet. Mostly it’s because my family, friends and I tend to be busy people these days as kids, work, and other commitments bite into our time, so it’s harder to organise a multiplayer session than it should…
