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: Assassin’s Creed The Ezio Collection (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 25, 2016

Review by Matt S. Ubisoft doesn’t have a new Assassin’s Creed game for this holiday season; the first time in a while. Rather than allow Christmas to go without anything from the series, however, the publisher has instead bundled up a number of the older games in the franchise –…

Review: Ittle Dew 2 (Sony PlayStation 4)

action/Indie/Lttle Dew 2/Ludosity/Nicalis/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Zelda clone

Review by Britta S. The original Ittle Dew game came out just over two years ago, first for Ouya and PC, then for Wii U and mobile. It attracted attention because it is crafted in the classic mould of Zelda games, with A Link to the Past being closest, while…

Review: Yesterday Origins (Sony PlayStation 4)

Review by Brad L. Being able to live forever is going to be high up on just about everyone’s “three wishes” list if they ever come across a genie’s lamp in their lifetime. Imagine if that wish had come true, but in order to live forever, it means coming back…

Review: Killing Floor 2 (Sony PlayStation 4)

Review by Nick H. If you are simply looking for an action-packed shooter that works far better with friends than alone, then Killing Floor 2 is not a bad option. If, however, you’re on the hunt for a game with a narrative, or indeed any degree of substance, then this…

DDNet Premium/Game Theory/Hatsune Miku/Miku/Miku is real

Game Theory by Matt S. I’ve touched on the topic of Hatsune Miku’s presence in reality in the past, but as I was playing through Steins;Gate 0 over the last couple of weeks, the discussion over the “realness” of virtual people got me thinking about the topic all over again.…

Review: Pokemon Sun & Moon (Nintendo 3DS)

November 23, 2016

3DS Review/3DS Reviews/Game Freak/JRPG/monster collection RPG/Nintendo 3DS/Pokemon/Pokemon Sun & Moon/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Pokemon has been a fading franchise. I know I’m going to get a horde of people yelling at me for saying that, but here’s the reality; without actually changing anything about the core Pokemon game, Game Freak has churned out iteration after iteration, each time with…

Review: Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 23, 2016

action puzzle/Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/puzzle/Reviews/Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon

Review by Jim S. Spider is a neat little puzzle game where you play as a spider and is the sequel to Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor. It’s okay if you haven’t played that game though. Most people haven’t. It’s pretty niche. This new game doesn’t rely on you…

Review: Football Manager 2017 (PC)

Football Manager/Football Manager 2017/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Sega/simulation/sports game/Sports Interactive

Review by Nick H. There is so much pressure facing a manager in football, especially when you consider that in places such as England, the football teams are actually very large businesses. Some of them are even listed on the stock exhange. Their value, as companies, rests entirely on their…

Review: Steins;Gate 0 (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 22, 2016

adventure game/adventure games/narrative/PlayStation 4/PQube/PS4 Review/Reviews/Steins;Gate/Steins;Gate 0/visual novel

Review by Matt S. Steins;Gate is one of the best visual novels that you’ll ever play. Indeed, it’s a big part of the reason that more and more visual novels are coming out west – PQube hit some real success in localising the original and now other niche publishers want…
