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: Elex II (Sony PlayStation 5)

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

Review: Gran Turismo 7 (Sony PlayStation 5)

I really wish I loved anything as much as Yamauchi Kazunori loves…

Interview: On going from Yakuza to Fist of the North Star

September 5, 2018
Fist of the North Star/Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise/Interview/Interviews/JRPG/Sega

Interview by Matt S.  Following on from the healthy success that the Yakuza series has enjoyed in the western markets of late, the development team behind the series is on a high. And that’s why the upcoming Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise title by SEGA is so exciting;…

What a milestone! The Digitally Uploaded podcast has this week hit 100 episodes from when we started, way back in 2016. Almost the entire DDNet team jumps on the podcast this week for a bit of chaos and fun as we look back over the last couple of years of…

Android/Bandai Namco/iOS/JRPG/News/Record of Grancrest War/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Bandai Namco is localising Record of Grancrest War: Quartet of War as Record of Grancrest War: Quartet Conflict in the west. This action JRPG, based on a popular anime franchise, will be available at some point through “fall 2018” (so, spring for those of us in…

Review: Spider-Man (Sony PlayStation 4)

action/open world game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony/Spider-Man/superhero

Review by Matt S. Knowing that most people only read the first and last paragraphs, and then look at the score, I want to get this out of the way regarding Spider-Man upfront; Spider-Man is a lot of fun. A lot of fun. The combat feels great, as does web-slinging…

Review: Hyakki Castle (Nintendo Switch)

September 4, 2018
dungeon crawl/dungeon crawler/Haunted Dungeons: Hyakki Castle/Hyakki Castle/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/RPG/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  Hyakki Castle is one of my favourite dungeon crawlers in recent years. It plays much like a modern western dungeon crawler (think Legend of Grimrock rather than Wizardry), but has an unmistakably Japanese aesthetic, theme, and tone. It’s an eclectic blend, to be sure, but it…

Review: Death’s Gambit (Sony PlayStation 4)

action/Adult Swim Games/indie games/platformer/PlayStation 4 Review/PS4/Reviews/Souls-like/White Rabbit

Review by Matt C. I came very close to writing off Death’s Gambit entirely early on in my time with it. After a surprisingly easy introductory level and a boss that I killed on the first go — something unexpected from a game that draws so clearly from Dark Souls…

Review: Realpolitiks (Nintendo Switch)

September 3, 2018
grand strategy/Nintendo Switch/Realpolitiks/Reviews/Strategy/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  I would never have predicted that the Nintendo Switch would end up with a strategy game of the scale of Realpolitiks. World Conqueror X was pushing things far enough as a complete simulation of World War 2, but that was almost exclusively focused on the battlefield…

Review: Punch Line (Sony PlayStation 4)

September 3, 2018
PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Punch Line/Reviews/visual novel

Review by Matt S.  “See panties twice, cause the apocalypse.” It’s like a perverse flip of that old tagline from the TV series, Heroes: “save the cheerleader, save the world.” More importantly, if there is a more out there tagline for an anime property, I’ve never heard it. Now, I’ve…
