Lindsay picked up an NES controller for the first time at the age of 6 and instantly fell in love. She began reviewing GBA games 20 years ago and quickly branched out from her Nintendo comfort zone.

Nearly three years ago, Square Enix released the visual novel Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. In his review, DDNet editor-in-chief Matt wrote that it was ” one of the better visual novels that [he’s] played in some time.” Today, Square Enix surprised the world by announcing its sequel, Paranormasight:…

I remember back when Mini Metro came out. It was 2014. I was completely obsessed and playing it late into the night. I still return to it every now and then, though I’ve definitely lost some of my skills. Its sister game (not a sequel but very much in the…

As I do with FMV games, I’ve had my eye on Mia and the Dragon Princess since it was announced last year. This one is a pretty straightforward interactive film with branching narratives. It’s made by two of the heavy hitters in contemporary FMV gaming, Wales Interactive and Good Gate…

There hasn’t been a Double Dragon title in well over five years: the last, developed by Arc System Works, was Double Dragon IV in early 2017. It didn’t review that well, with Brad scoring it 2.5/5 stars. That’s… not good. Well, the torch has been passed new a new developer…
