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: Elex II (Sony PlayStation 5)

I’m not sure there’s ever a precisely right time to release a…

Review: Gran Turismo 7 (Sony PlayStation 5)

Assetto Corsa/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Racing/Reviews/Serious Racing Game

Review by Matt S. I have a lot of respect for the developers of serious racing games. The demands that the genre places on physics engines is extreme, and, worse (from the developer’s point of view), it is intensely noticeable when that physics engine is even slightly out, because that’s…

I went hands-on with Final Fantasy XV and I liked it

Final Fantasy/Final Fantasy XV/Hands-On Impressions/JRPG/open world game/Preview/Square Enix

Preview by Harvard L. I don’t know if the opening of Final Fantasy XV is a tongue-in-cheek joke or not, but I really want to believe that it is. Our first impression of Noctis is an insufferable sarcastic teenager making jabs at his father, the king, letting the audience know…

Anime Impressions: New Game!

anime/anime impressions/anime review/comedy/Crunchyroll/Doga Kobo/New Game!/slice of life/streaming

Impressions by Clark A. The animated medium can be a terrific conduit for acquiring worldly knowledge. Shows like Bakuman and Seiyuu’s Life introduce viewers to the nitty-gritty of Japanese industries while simultaneously developing characters and scenarios that make each episode valuable as art. In the case of slice of life…

Review: Worms WMD (Sony PlayStation 4)

PlayStation 4/PS4/Reviews/Strategy/Team17/turn based/Worms/Worms WMD

Review by Jim S.  It’s been 21 years since the first Worms game released, and since then we have had so many releases in the series and it’s still going strong. I remember playing one of the older games for PC when I was a child and I liked it:…

The Goichi Suda chronicles: Goin’ grindhouse with Shadows of the DAMNED

August 24, 2016
action/DDNet Premium/Goichi Suda/grindhouse/Shadows of the Damned/Shooter/shooters

Feature by Matt S. Goichi Suda is a bit of a hero to many on the DDNet team. His unwavering commitment to games that are transgressive and creative, even to the detriment of their critical rating, is noble, and the fact he’s managed to build up a major Japanese development…

card game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Ubisoft/Uno

Review by Matt S. Who doesn’t love a game of Uno? A classic card game for the whole family, Uno managed to become so synonymous with family card games on account of its simple rules, basic strategy, and light hearted approach to gameplay. This is the kind of game that…

Emily Wants To Play/Horror/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Survival Horror/Video review

Review by Matt C. Jump scares get a bad rap. They’re often accused of being a cheap and lazy way of inducing fright, but they’re a really important part of the horror toolbox. As a game built almost entirely on jump scares, Emily Wants to Play, is a great example…

Retro reflections by Matt S.  This week brings us a brand new Worms game from Team17. One of the most venerable franchises in the industry, Worms has been around since 1995, has seen over 20 releases, and has continued to delight audiences over the years thanks to its tight, balanced…

Blue Reflection: Sword of the Girl Dancing in Illusion/Gust/Koei Tecmo/News

News by Matt S. Gust, our favourite JRPG developer of all, has announced a new project, titled Blue Reflection: Sword of the Girl Dancing in Illusion. That, and an image of the lead character, is all we know about this game so far, but frankly that’s more than enough to…

Review: The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse (Sony PlayStation 4)

August 23, 2016
Desert Owl Games/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG/The Huntsman: Winter's Curse/western RPG

Review by Matt S. You’re probably going to go into The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse with some guarded expectations and reservations. After all, the movie franchise has been a less-than-spectacular IP. Heck, let’s call a spade a space – the awe-inspiring figure of Chris Hemsworth aside these films are the very…
