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 by Matt S. One of the greatest narrative game experiences you could ever hope to play is Planescape: Torment. At a time when most RPG narratives weren’t much more than excuses to funnel players from one battle to the next (you could say that not a lot has changed…

8Days/action/dual-stick shooter/Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Retro-style/Reviews

Review by Brad L. All of the cool kids these days are making some form of pixelated game intended as a throwback to the glory days of the 80’s. More often than not, the difficulty spike of the 80’s rears its ugly head as well. 8Days is no exception, and…

Review: Chime Sharp (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 9, 2017

Chime/Chime Sharp/Indie/PlayStation 4 Review/Puzzle Game/Reviews/rhythm game

Review by Harvard L. For all it’s worth, Chime Sharp looks like a zen-inspired puzzle game. The player is tasked with tessellating shapes together to form larger quadrilaterals, all to the tune of pulsing electronica. Don’t be fooled by its colourful, minimalistic exterior however, because this is a game sure…

Review by Matt S. To be honest, there’s not much more I can say about the games Danganronpa 1 and 2 that I haven’t already covered in my reviews. They’re visual novels, and I find them to be utterly brilliant. Bringing the two games together into a single package on…

Review by Brad L.It’s no secret that the Legend of Zelda is my favourite game series of all time. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is my personal favourite Zelda game and the game I consider to be the best of all time. Despite this love that…

Review: Stories Untold (PC)

adventure game/adventure games/Indie/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Stories Untold

Review by Harvard L. You’re using an old, text-only computer called the Futura – it’s the early 80’s; synthesisers are all the rage and science fiction is all you see on television. This is a game in the vein of The Twilight Zone, where reality is not what it seems…

Review: Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 7, 2017

Atelier/Atelier Firis/Gust/JRPG/Koei Tecmo/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. In a delightfully odd way, Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey is simultaneously the biggest step forward for the series, and, after the Dusk trilogy took the Atelier series down some more serious thematic roads, also its biggest step back towards tradition. Having been…

Horizon: Zero Dawn is not a feminist masterpiece

March 7, 2017

DDNet Premium/feminism/Horizon: Zero Dawn/Opinion

Opinion by Matt C. Horizon: Zero Dawn is a game that does a few things really well. It’s a technical marvel, showing a beautiful vision of a post-apocalyptic that just begs to be explored. It’s a fun game, in that open-world checklist-a-thon style popularized by Ubisoft and Rockstar. It has…
