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…

Competition

Competition by Matt S. Are you in the need of a new microphone? Perhaps you’re into streaming or making videos for YouTube? As we reviewed last month, EPOS has produced a brilliant microphone in the EPOS B20 streaming microphone, and now, courtesy of EPOS, we have one to give away.…

Unfortunately, EA’s going to remake Dead Space

July 22, 2021

Dead Space/EA/Horror/News/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. I’m a big fan of Dead Space. The original game did “action-horror in space” astoundingly well, and was an experience that was dripping with atmosphere, taut, intense and creative. Unfortunately, EA’s about to ruin all of that. The publisher has tasked Motive – the developer behind…

I did not know I wanted a Pokémon MOBA, but as it turns out, I do

F2P/Free-to-play/MOBA/Nintendo Switch/Pokemon/Switch Review

Article by Matt S. I’m not a big fan of MOBAs. They’re usually contextless content-driven games that come with all the qualities of every other esport; they feature a toxic, hyper-competitive community, have a lack of joy in the mechanics and play (because all that’s important in these games is…

On the making of a celebrated yuri visual novel

Interview/Interviews/Nintendo Switch/visual novel

Interview by Matt S. Heart of the Woods landed on Nintendo Switch earlier this year, after developing a powerful following for its previous release on PC. As we wrote in our glowing review on DDNet: “Heart of the Woods is a beautiful and romantic visual novel, with a wonderfully winding…

Akiba's Trip/fan service/JRPG/Nintendo Switch/Remake/Remaster/Reviews/satire/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. To save Akihabara – nay, the whole world! – from a growing vampire threat, you’ve got to suit up, hit the streets, and rip the skirts off school girls. Okay, you’ve got to rip the pants off businessmen and the shirts off tourists too, but we…

News by Matt S. After Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot is surely the most well-known, celebrated detective of all. He’s appeared in a fair few of his own games too, though nothing that has truly hit the high points of the detective story in video games. This new one:…

Nintendo’s going hardcore niche for the next Switch Online update

July 21, 2021

News/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. I love seeing this. There’s a meltdown from the “fans” every time Nintendo announces a new update to the Nintendo Switch Online service, because they want Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and other games they’ve already played a million times before to be added to the library,…

Review: Red White Yellow (Nintendo Switch)

July 20, 2021

Indie/Nintendo Switch/Puzzle Game/Reviews/rhythm game/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Red White Yellow is a useful game because it highlights some realities about game design – sometimes some of the simplest elements that melt right into the background really do help a game shine. Red White Yellow is so closely inspired by Lumines, and yet not…

Review: Death’s Door (PC)

July 20, 2021

action RPG/Devolver Digital/PC/PC Review/Reviews

Review by Harvard L. It’s weird that for as long as The Legend of Zelda has been a series, we still don’t have a defined term for that game’s genre. Internet commenters frequently debate whether Zelda should be considered an RPG, and the official title of “action-adventure” is so vague…
