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…
Review by Ginny W. Little Witch Academia is a brilliant anime. It’s a total 180 aesthetic-wise from Studio Trigger’s previous fare, Kill la Kill, and it’s the epitome of harmless fun. Complete with wholesome high school clichés to rival the best of them, it plays out as if Sailor Moon…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. In a battle between a family owned restaurant and a big soulless corporation, I’d side with the homegrown business any day. So does Pupuru, star of Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God, a lighthearted roguelike developed by Compile Heart, originally released for the Vita…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. Sony! It’s time for Sony! We know that we’re getting deep dives on four titles: Death Stranding, The Last Of Us: Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, and Spider-Man. But the real questions remain. Will we actually see Life Is Strange 2, or is Captain Spirit it…
Read MoreNews by Matt C. The creators of Dark Souls and Bloodborne are back with their next game, and rather than another gothic European setting (or the sci-fi game some were hoping for), FromSoftware are turning their attention to the Sengoku period of Japanese history. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice follows a…
Read MoreWhat an eclectic bunch of games we’ve got to talk about this week! First up, we talk about Dead or Alive 6, which was announced just hours before we recorded the podcast. Then we talk about Vampires, in light of the release of Vampyr by Dontnod. And, finally, we talk…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. Ubisoft: the press conference consisting of a lot of music and that happens between the two that I was/am actually excited for, Square Enix and Sony. Yet here we are, so let’s see how it goes! The obvious bets are Just Dance 2019, Assassin’s Creed, and…
Read MoreNews by Harvard L. Metro has always been a black sheep when it came to the FPS genre. The original game released in 2010 and stood as a harsh counterpoint to popular design at the time: a melancholic world where guns were rickety, unreliable contraptions and proper bullets were valuable…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. It’s day three of four of our press conference coverage, and it’s the busiest yet! Starting things off with a hopeful bang is Square Enix; while all eyes seem to be on the developer/publisher for Final Fantasy VII, I’m actually most curious as to whether we’ll…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Samurai Defender is the kind of aggressively pointless experience that I find frustrating beyond all else. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s also not memorable in the slightest, and while I don’t expect every video game ever made to be a masterpiece, I do think…
Read MoreNews by Harvard L. A day before E3 I saw a tweet jokingly asking that the only thing they want to see at this year’s convention was genuine human emotion. Thanks to Cornelia Geppert and Jo-Mei Games, the team behind Sea of Solitude, we not only got that, we got…
