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: The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 2, 2017

Review by Brad L. One of the hardest things to do when reviewing games is to review a sequel to a game that you had previously never heard of. Despite this, when given the chance to review The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk, I jumped at the chance, for…

Review: The Count Lucanor (Nintendo Switch)

November 2, 2017

Horror/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/The Count Lucanor

Review by Ginny W. There have been some truly standout indie titles on the Switch. Nintendo has clearly been branching out by more readily allowing more mature games on the eShop ranging from Gal*Gun to having shooters like Wolfenstein II and DOOM attract a whole new target market for the…

Retro reflections Warlocked, the Game Boy Color’s own Warcraft

Retro by Matt S. Given that I’ve already written three articles about strategy games this week, I figured I might as well continue the theme going, and take a look back at a real time strategy game that would be just about forgotten to history, but I remember it so…

Review: Revenant Saga (Nintendo Switch)

November 2, 2017

JRPG/Kemco/Nintendo Switch/Revenant Saga/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. We all know what we’re getting from Kemco JRPGs by now, right? We all know that they’re micro-budget games with presentation that makes RPG Maker titles look like masterpieces by comparison. That in itself doesn’t need to be a bad thing, but most of Kemco’s games,…

Review: ELEX (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 1, 2017

ELEX/open world game/Piranha Bytes/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG/western RPG

Review by Matt S. ELEX is a hot mess of a game. Anyone who has played a Piranha Bytes game by now (most recently, Risen 3) surely knows what to expect; clumsy combat, an attempt at open-ended gameplay that isn’t quite able to get its quests and conversation trees in…

Opinion by Matt C. Content warning: descriptions of torture and abuse I don’t know when torture became a selling point for AAA games. It seems like, these days, every other trailer for a blockbuster game—especially those shown at big showreel events like E3 and Paris Games Week—is full of extreme,…

Review: Always Sometimes Monsters (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 31, 2017

Art Game/Devolver Digital/Indie/indie games/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG Maker/Vagabond Dog

Review by Matt C. Imagine a survival game, but instead of a frozen tundra or an isolated forest, the unforgiving wasteland is a city drowning in the cruelty of late capitalism. That, in a nutshell, is Always Sometimes Monsters: a game about surviving poverty and desperation in a world where…

Retro reflections: When a Game Boy Color game tried to be horrific

October 31, 2017

Alone in the Dark/Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare/Game Boy Color/Horror/Retro/Retro Reflections/Survival Horror

Retro by Matt S. Given that it’s Halloween tonight and all, I felt like I should do something on horror games. Rather than cover one of the newer horror games (which, for the most part, we’ve already covered), I thought that I would instead go the exact opposite direction, and…

So November might not be quite as busy in terms of game releases as October was, but there’s still plenty to look forward to! We also have a special guest on the podcast, Jay from YouTube channel JayRPG (https://www.youtube.com/c/JayRPGee), who talks to us about Lost Sphear and the Secret of…
