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.

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: Sylvio (Sony PlayStation 4)

January 23, 2017

Horror/Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sylvio

Review by Harvard L. Sylvio, a horror adventure title by Swedish studio Stroboskop, is an odd game. It’s a game built upon the concept of Electronic Voice Phenomena, or EPV, where microphone usage in supposedly haunted places can make recordings which bear hidden messages from spirits. It’s also mechanically one…

List by Matt S. Remasters are a trend that one expects will last into perpetuity. For the consumer, they give them another chance to play through their favourite games, perhaps with better graphics or additional content. For the developer and publisher, it’s an additional opportunity to take earn some additional…

Review by Matt S. In Yakuza 0, a typical night out starts with a wander through a red-light district, eventually dropping in at an adult video hire place that allows you to watch softcore gravure videos of your favourite ladies. Then you’ll wander over to the other side of town…

Review by Jim S. Wild Guns: Reloaded is a remake of a game from back on the Super Nintendo, which is unusual in itself, as most remakes are focused on newer games from PS2 and later. But, I do like that Natsume has gone back farther and brought back this…

Review: Moekuri (PC)

Indie/indie games/Japanese indie game/JRPG/MokyuSoft; Culture Select/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Steam/Tactics RPG

Review by Matt. C I’m surprised there aren’t more monster-collecting tactical RPGs. The genres go together perfectly; TRPGs put huge emphasis on party composition and team strategy, and monster collecting games give you a huge range of characters from which to build your party. It’s a match made in heaven.…
