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…

Eko Studio/Handball/Handball 17/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/sports game

Review by Matt S. People often criticise EA’s sports games for only showing the most minimal of changes from one game to the next. And okay, that may well be true. But at least with EA’s games, the basis is strong enough that, even if you do think that each…

Review: Wick (Sony PlayStation 4)

Hellbent Games/Horror/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Survival Horror/Wick

Review by Lachlan W. Wick, by Hellbent Games, is a horror game for a new age. The story goes that there is an old urban legend, a campfire game for teens designed to scare the pants off those silly enough to actually try it. The victim is placed alone in…

Review: Seraph (Sony PlayStation 4)

2D platformer/action game/Indie/platformer/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Seraph

Review my Pierre-Yves L. From the beginning, Seraph by Dreadbit games is a different kind of platforming experience. Being put in control of an angel is nothing new, but Dreadbit takes a different approach by creating a hybrid partnership in which both you and an AI will work together as…

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone is coming out west!

Hatsune Miku/Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone/News/PlayStation 4/release date/Release Dates/Sega

News by Matt S. Well, colour me very pleasantly surprised. The greatest rhythm game ever made, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone is being localised into English. Related reading: Matt’s writeup of the experience of going to a Hatsune Miku live concert. I honestly didn’t think this would happen. Future…

Review: Farming Simulator 17 (Sony PlayStation 4)

farming/Farming Simulator/Farming Simulator 17/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/simulation

Review by Matt S. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve recommended Farming Simulator to someone and they’ve laughed at me, before playing it to humour me and become absolutely captivated, I’d be able to buy myself a farm. It’d be a very small farm, sure, because I…

Review: Moto Racer 4 (Sony PlayStation 4)

Artefacts Studios/Microids/Moto Racer 4/Motorbike/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Racing Game/Reviews

Review by Nick H. I have long been a fan of motorcycle racing games. They provide a sense of speed and danger that is often lacking in racing games focused on cars. However, in a year that has seen some really great racing titles, Moto Racer 4 sadly falls well…

Eagle Flight/flight sim/minigame compilation/open world game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation VR/VR Review

Review by Matt S. I was already sold on virtual reality, so it would be unfair to say Eagle Flight sold me on the technology. Perhaps it would be more reasonable to say that Eagle Flight has really been the first game that showed the full power of VR. As…

Article by Matt C. Last month, Vancouver-based developer United Front Games closed its doors, and we lost one of this industry’s most interesting developers. It wasn’t particularly prolific, and critical and commercial reception of its work was uneven to say the least, but it was a studio that was always…
