Aussie readers of DDNet, have we got a treat for you! (Note: this competition is only open to Australian residents. Apologies, overseas friends, but I’m sure we’ll have another contest for you soon) Stranger Of Paradise is one of the finest, and smartest, games in Square Enix’s storied series. As we wrote in our 4.5/5 review: Do you know that…
Review by Matt S. Why do I keep doing this to myself? Kairosoft has released TWENTY-SIX of its light simulation games on to Nintendo Switch now. I own at least half of them. Every time I get hooked deep into the simple, charming presentation and super-accessible, comfortable gameplay loops of…

Read MoreNews by Matt S. This is really a super-quick little news story, as we’ve only just released the previous My Time With Dee Dee VN, Summer Loop, but I wanted to also confirm that, plugging along in the background I’ve been working on the next one, and it’s going to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Last of Us Part II is a difficult game to review. That’s not to say that there isn’t anything worth talking about in it, because there is a lot, but rather the difficulty comes from an extended list of embargo conditions that make it impossible…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. After very reasonably being delayed for a week, it’s time for PlayStation’s The Future of Gaming presentation. We don’t expect a full view of the PlayStation 5 design, but instead loads of game reveals. The presentation’s banner has a black DualSense controller in it, so it…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I love how far the gaming medium has come in such a short amount of time. BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite are, amazingly, retro games now. And maybe that’s more a statement about how quickly time has passed rather than how robust the ideas within…
