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.

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…

I’m not sure there’s ever a precisely right time to release a…

Opinion by Matt S. I’m only a couple of hours in to the newly-released The Sunken City, which comes to us from Frogwares and is the latest attempt to bring the magnificent horror of H.P. Lovecraft to video games. I’m going to leave the review to another on the team,…

Review: Super Mario Maker 2 (Nintendo Switch)

June 26, 2019
2D platformer/creator/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/platformer/Reviews/Super Mario Maker/Super Mario Maker 2/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  Super Mario Maker was a brilliant idea. Of course it was. Giving fans the exact same building blocks that were used to make the Mario games, and encouraging them to get out there and create is healthy, in the same way that the likes of Minecraft…

Review by Matt S. After thoroughly enjoying the first installment of Nekopara on Nintendo Switch, I unfortunately missed the second for whatever reason. I’m all caught up now though, as I’m in a good place and space to review the newly-released third edition. This is a review of Nekopara Vol…

action/JRPG/Judgement/noir/open world game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sega

Review by Matt S. Judgment is not really a “new Yakuza title”. Nor is it any form of sequel. It shares elements of what came before, and the comparisons are there at the superficial level. The narrative does take place in the same universe, and the setting – Kamurocho –…

Aquaplus/JRPG/News/Utawarerumono/visual novel

News by Matt S. Utawarerumono has proven to be something of a hit for the developer, Aquaplus. Combined, the series has shifted 800,000 copies worldwide. No developer’s going to ignore something like that, so Aquaplus has announced a new title in the series. Related reading: Our review of the first…

Don’t worry. We don’t actually talk about Tifa’s boobs, or the ridiculous controversy surrounding them. Much. We have a great podcast for you this week! There’s so many horror games releasing at the moment, so we talk about that, and then we also chat about My Friend Pedro and the…

Review by Matt S.  Once upon a time, Monopoly and Risk were giants of the board game world. Every family had copies, everyone played them, and it was considered a great family activity to break out either of the two on a Sunday afternoon. Fast forward to today and more…

Review: Blade II – The Return Of Evil (Nintendo Switch)

June 24, 2019
action RPG/Blade II/Diablo clone/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/RPG/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Blade II is a good example of everything wrong with the mobile gaming space. It’s a shallow, vapid, and completely pointless waste of time to play. Removing the microtransactions and free-to-play monetisation and instead asking people to drop money on it up-front doesn’t fix things, either.…
