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)

Review: Gran Turismo 7 (Sony PlayStation 5)

Videogames inspired by opera; few in number and a critical quagmire, but so, so precious

July 4, 2018
Chaos Legion/Features/Final Fantasy VI/Major Feature/Nights of Azure/opera/Pandora's Tower

Feature by Matt S. It must be hard to make a game based on the aesthetics, approach to storytelling, and design of opera. It must be really, really hard. Games and film are common bedfellows. There’s plenty of literature that has been adapted into video games, as well. Every art…

Photos by Matt S. I’ve started a new feature where I share photos of my trips to Japan – God knows I take enough of them (I’ve got around 11,000 stored on hard drives), and I want to share my passion for the country, and everything within it. So, each…

Review: Koihime Enbu RyoRaiRai (Sony PlayStation 4)

July 4, 2018
2D fighter/Fighting game/fighting games/Koihime Enbu/Koihime Enbu RyoRaiRai/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Koihime Enbu is a fighting game spinoff from the Koihime Musou franchise. If “musou” catches your attention because you’re a fan of Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty and Sengoku Musou (i.e. Warriors) franchises, don’t think that Koihime Musou is the same. It is indeed set in the same…

Furyu/JRPG/News/Roguelike/Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs

News by Matt S. After making the announcement that it was suspending game activity earlier this week, FuRyu came back to clarify that it was only talking about mobile game development. Which is good, because now we get Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs: Steam Dungeon, a new roguelike for…

News by Lindsay M. I bring some amazing news with this Wednesday morning — We Happy Few has been rated in Australia! Compulsion Games made an appeal after being denied classification, and the final decision is that the game can be released and rated R18+. The best part? No modifications…

Review: Hexologic (Nintendo Switch)

July 3, 2018
Hexologic/Nintendo Switch/puzzle/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  I like simple, elegant, clever puzzle games. When so many video games aim for fast action and quick gratification (even in the puzzle genre – Sushi Strikers is categorically manic), a nice, minimalist, reflective puzzle game can be a true zen-like experience. Hexologic is just that…

The developers behind hit Taiwanese horror title, Detention, are back

Detention/Devotion/Horror/News/Taiwan/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. The Taiwanese developer behind the rather excellent Detention are back with Devotion, which is being billed as an “atmospheric first-person horror game set in 1980’s Taiwan”. In other words, much as Detention was both a love letter to their homeland and culture and expose on the…

It’s over the halfway point in the year, so we look forward to the big game releases in July. There aren’t too many of them… but JRPG fans in particular have plenty to look forward to. And then we talk about our personal favourite games of all time; our personal…

Review: Anima: Gate of Memories – The Nameless Chronicles (Nintendo Switch)

July 2, 2018
Anima: Gates of Memories/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/RPG/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. It’s difficult to think of Anima: Gate of Shadows as a game which came out only nine months before Nier Automata. It’s so convincingly similar to a janky, late-PS2-early-PS3 era game which nobody remembers but has just enough redeeming value to be interesting; and that sentiment…
