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.

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…

Going hands-on with Catherine for the first time

Atlus/Catherine/Catherine: Full Body/Hands-On Impressions/Preview/Previews/Puzzle Game/Sega

Preview by Matt S.  One of my most stand-out blind spots, in terms of games that I have not played, has always been Catherine. As a game that has the reputation for offering up an unflinchingly adult look at relationships and sex, as well as Japanese youth culture, it’s something…

News by Matt S.  Koei Tecmo’s JRPG house, Gust, has teased its next project, with a 35-second trailer that tells us almost nothing about the game, except for a bit of text at the end that says “our adventure is about to begin”. But the trailer shows an absolutely gorgeous…

Video by Matt S. Team Sonic Racing promised a lot, as the series always has – a “blockbuster” rival of sorts to the mighty Mario Kart. The series has been kicking around for a while now, too. Sadly, while it’s a very solid kart racer mechanically, this game really struggles…

Review: Pocket League Story (Nintendo Switch)

Football/Kairosoft inc/Pocket League Story/Reviews/simulation/sports game/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. It becomes very easy to overlook Kairosoft titles after you’ve played a couple of them. The downside to their consistency is that it’s easy to become complacent about them, and this is particularly true given that the company has decided to release them on the Nintendo…

Video by Matt S. Observation is the newest title from Devolver Digital, and as you might expect from that eclectic publisher, it’s a bit of an indie masterpiece. This one is clearly inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, that classic film, and offers a deep and nuanced take on the…

Review by Matt S. One of the first films I ever studied seriously – back when I threw myself into film studies in the hope that I could become a filmmaker – was Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s such an influential, genius film, and I’m sure I’m not…

Review by Harvard L. My favourite thing about Lapis x Labyrinth is how your average party of four dungeoneers stacks on top of each other – affectionately referred to as “dango” by their developer (although not in game). It perfectly captures the energetic, lighthearted tone the game goes for –…
