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…
Review by Matt S. You’ve got to be impressed with the kind of gonads a developer team would have to have to look at the whole zombie arena thing and think to themselves “hey let’s do a no-frills, budget version of that!” Undead Battle Royal is a perfectly playable game,…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Biomutant comes with an intriguing premise: in a post-apocalyptic world where humans are long-gone and mutant animals have taken their place, a martial art called Wung-Fu rules the day. The future of even this broken world hangs in the balance thanks to the dying Tree of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The best way to think of Miitopia is as a silly little playground, and that it’s a very personal playground. The experience that you’re having with it is only ever going to make sense to you. A friend or family member, should they walk into the…

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. I don’t have time to review the full Mass Effect Trilogy remaster; that’s 100+ hours of gaming before I even start to write about it. However, I have always loved the series, and one of the main reasons is that I find the villains, the Reapers,…
