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…
Opinion by Matt S. Now that the review embargo over Nioh 2 now lifted, I can talk about the game freely. I’ve already broached this topic briefly in my review, but I wanted to elaborate a little further here. In an otherwise magnificent game, Nioh 2 has one critical issue…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Koei Tecmo’s Nioh was a breakthrough in so many ways. It represented the first time that a developer outside of FromSoftware had figured out the X-factor that made FromSoftware’s Dark Souls and Bloodborne such incredible experiences. Koei also managed to do so while keeping a firm…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. If I were to ask everyone reading this to raise their hands if they are thoroughly sick of the roguelike genre being appropriated by indie developers to replace the joy of finely crafted levels in favour of randomised “endless” content, I would imagine that most people…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Saitama, the eponymous One Punch Man, has journeyed from homemade web comics to full-fledged Jump magazine releases to gloriously animated works. His next stop poses a dilemma: how do you incorporate a character that wins in a single blow into the video game medium, let alone…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. While Koei Tecmo has found itself in some hot water recently for its DLC strategy for Dead or Alive 6 (namely, charging people for hair colour changes that only last until players change the hair colour again), I’ve been really looking forward to the next new…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Two Point Hospital comes across as more a nostalgic in-joke than an attempt at a proper simulation, and while I loved the old Theme Hospital as much as the next person, what made that game so memorable was that it also offered a tight, engaging, challenging…

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Ganbare! Super Strikers is a super-indie little title that was recently released on everything. It’s one of those cheap little throwaway games that you’ll forget having played soon enough, but it’s also quite enjoyable while it lasts. I’ve done a video looking at the basic tactics…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. You can’t really fault the developer (Chara-Ani), or publisher, NISA, for trying. On the back of Fire Emblem becoming one of Nintendo’s most important properties, it’s not surprising on any level that someone would want to dust off Langrisser (originally Warsong in the west).
