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…

News by Matt S.  Never Alone is one of the favourite games for a lot of the DDNet team. It was a game made in collaboration with native people, about native people and their stories, and that authenticity really touched home as something valuable and important. We truly don’t get…

Phantom Doctrine/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Strategy/tactics game

Review by Matt S. I love XCOM. I love James Bond. I love Phantom Doctrine. It’s simplifying things a touch to say that Phantom Doctrine is the blend of XCOM and James Bond, but it’s a close enough description to what’s on offer. In this game you take over a…
