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.

Review by Matt S. Ninja Theory is well known for making exceptional games that simply don’t sell that well (Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Journey to the West), or exceptional games that sell well but end up being quite controversial (DmC: Devil May Cry). Dexed is a different kind of game. It’s…
Read MoreRetro reflections by Matt S. Ubisoft is always at its best when it’s experimental.
