LAST CHANCE! Win one of FIVE RIG 800 PRO headsets & Stranger Of Paradise (+DLC)

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…

Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

Review: Gran Turismo 7 (Sony PlayStation 5)

Video by Matt S. Everyone knows that the minigames are almost the best thing about the Yakuza series. There’s just so many of them in each game, and for “minigames” they’re often as not better in a Yakuza title than they are when the entire game is built around them.…

Patreon essay: On the Yakuza series and its relationship to the cinema of the 60’s

January 30, 2020
cinema/Essay/Patreon/Yakuza

Essay by Matt S. The seven-entry narrative arc that comprises the Yakuza series (0 through to 6) is considered by many to be a crowning glory of video game storytelling, and rightfully so. The arc takes Kiryu, his friends, rivals and special ward (Haruka) from impetuous youngsters right through to…

Video by Matt S. Idea Factory’s first JRPG of the year is a fast-paced, action JRPG, about a small group of people searching desperately for a miracle that will halt a creeping apocalypse. It’s probably not a game that has been on many people’s radars, but it should be, because…

Actual Sunlight comes to Nintendo Switch, and you must play this game

Actual Sunlight/Art Game/depression/Indie/visual novel/Will O'Neill

Article by Matt S. Actual Sunlight doesn’t look like much – it’s one of those games that has been built in RPG Maker, but this is one hard-hitting, essential works of art. I’ve previously reviewed it on PlayStation Vita, and it’s not the kind of experience that really needs a…

4X Strategy/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Strategy/Switch Review/Worlds of Magic/Worlds of Magic: Planar Conquest

Review by Matt S. There is no shortage of strategy game options on the Nintendo Switch at this point. From the lighthearted and casual (Wargroove, World Conqueror X) thought to the grand 4X, Civilization VI, and the truly hardcore, niche Realpolitiks, strategy fans on the go are more than catered…

Video by Matt S. Dead or Alive 6’s next season pass has kicked off, and yes, this game remains an expensive hobby all into itself… but I love it. Every time we get great new costumes I can’t help but get stuck right back into the game again. For this…

Review: Journey to the Savage Planet (Sony PlayStation 4)

Exploration/exploration game/FPS/Journey to the Savage Planet/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/satire/Typhoon Studio

Review by Matt S.  No developer would ever admit to being annoyed that another developer got a game out first, but Journey to the Savage Planet’s developer must surely have seen the release of The Outer Worlds last year and groaned just a little. The two play very differently, but…

Harvard Let’s Plays: Super Crush KO

2D platformer/action game/brawler/Indie/let's play/platformer/Super Crush KO/Video/Video review

Video by Harvard L. Super Crush KO is a recent release, but it’s an indie game you absolutely should not overlook. It offers tight, fast, exciting action platforming/brawling, set against a really slick neon aesthetic. Sadly, with a lot of great indie games getting released almost daily, you only need…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. You would be hard pressed to find a series that has the mass-market appeal of Dragon Ball. Having started back in 1984, the Dragon Ball series has seen a giant manga run, anime series, video games, movies, and with the more recent Battle of the Gods…
