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…
Interview by Matt S. Three Atelier titles in a single year is a lot. Even to me, an avid fan that has never given less than 4.5/5 for any entry in the series. I love them because they’re wholesome, charming, “comfort food” experiences, and while I came to the party…

Read MorePreview by Matt S. A highlight of Tokyo Game Show was the demo for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega39; a rhythm game in development for Nintendo Switch. Yeah, okay, that’s me being understated. I love Hatsune Miku so, so much, and finally getting to play with her on my Switch…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Utawarerumono is one of the most underappreciated properties out there.

Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. It seems like just yesterday I was writing about Final Fantasy Chronicles Remastered Edition… oh wait, that’s because I was! Earlier this week Square Enix announced the title’s release date, but thanks to the Tokyo Game Show we now have a good amount of screenshots to…
Read MoreOpinion by Matt S. This year is the fifth consecutive year that I’ve attended TGS, and it’s become something that I don’t even question – every year I am coming back to go to this event. I don’t come for the news, since not that much is actually announced at…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. Wii Fit was a thing of beauty, and Nintendo is set to get us moving again with Ring Fit Adventure. The title (and its accessories) were teased last week, but with the official announcement today comes loads more information about what that hoop thing is, how…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. It’s well after midnight. My workspace is disorganized, with papers strewn about, pens uncapped, my iPad and keyboard set up in the midst of the mess. I feel as though I’m embodying the protagonist of Telling Lies, despite the fact she barely appears as more than…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. When Runic Games sadly closed its doors in 2017, we all thought we’d seen the end of the Torchlight franchise. The studio’s two action RPG titles were examples of impeccable polish – immensely playable, worked well in short bursts or long sessions, solo or in a…
