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)

Review: Hyper Light Drifter (Sony PlayStation 4)

August 3, 2016
Hyper Light Drifter/Indie/JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Zelda clone

Review by Harvard L.  It’s no faint praise for a game to be compared to the early Legend of Zelda titles, but there is no easier way to express the feel and mechanics of Heart Machine’s indie masterpiece Hyper Light Drifter. This is a top down action RPG which values…

Preview by Lindsay M. It’s the misty morning of October 11, 1964. I’m in what is labelled as the Wellington Underground, but appears to be a bunker of sorts. There are construction chests scattered about; they each contain a handful of scrap parts. There’s a television set to a live…

Indie/Kerbal Space Program/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/simulation

Review by Mikhail M. Kerbal Space Program is one of the few Early Access games that I bought on Steam to actually release and impress me throughout the development cycle. I was elated at the thought of it coming to PlayStation 4, as it would help more people to experience…

Retro reflections: On the impact that Final Fantasy had on all JRPGs

August 2, 2016
DDNet Premium/Final Fantasy/Final Fantasy 1/JRPG/Retro/Retro Reflections/Square Co/Square Enix

Retro reflections by Matt S. I’m going to talk about Final Fantasy in my retro reflections this week, because Final Fantasy is a game that is slowly slipping out of people’s thoughts. It’s almost never listed among people’s favourite games of the series any longer, and very few talk about…

film/film review/list/Top 10

List by Matt S.  In the fall out from the quite horrible trailer for The Great Wall, in which a film about a Chinese cultural icon is instead led by Matt Damon, a guy with no Asian blood in him at all, there’s been quite a lot of debate around…

Abzu/Art Game/exploration game/Indie/ocean/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt C. I know I’m prone to hyperbole, but I think ABZÛ is actually the most gorgeous game I’ve ever played. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that it’s the brainchild of Matt Nava, the art director for Journey and Flower, but he’s outdone himself yet again.…

Review: Bird of Light (PC)

August 1, 2016
3D platformer/Bird of Light/endless runner/India/Indie/platformer/Reviews

Review by Matt C. On the surface, Bird of Light is a cute, light-hearted, fun little game that seems to draw its inspiration from Old MacDonald, but don’t be fooled by the cutesy farmyard presentation—it made me think of Animal Farm more than anything else. Bird of Light tells the…

Film: The Great Wall looks great, but yeah, it’s very whitewashed

Opinion by Matt S. Last week, a teaser trailer was unveiled for the upcoming film The Great Wall. Now, before I get on with the rest of the opinion piece, I want to make it clear that I fully expect that this will be a great film. One of my…
