Matt S. is the Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of DDNet. He's been writing about games for over 20 years, including a book, but is perhaps best-known for being the high priest of the Church of Hatsune Miku.
Capcom has announced Resident Evil: Requiem. This is the ninth title in the series, and it’s bringing things back full circle. In that I mean the game features a return to Racoon City. Or, at least, seems to. The game’s announce trailer features the destroyed rubble of the city. It also heavily features Alyssa Ashcroft from Outbreak, so it’s pretty…
As far as multiplayer with a bunch of randoms goes, social deduction games are probably my favourite. The nature of these things encourages players to play by the rules and behave (at least to an extent), so you tend to run into fewer experience-breaking arseholes. Or at least, that’s been…
It’s finally here! The sequel to the best console of all time!…
There are over 1,100 games registered to my Nintendo Switch account. When…
7’scarlet has been around for several years on Steam, but the Nintendo Switch has become a solid home for the visual novel genre, so why not have it on this nice, slim, near-perfect “reading” device? I doubt many otome fans would say that it’s their favourite Otomate project, but at…

We do live in an era where developers and publishers are scrambling to tap into nostalgia and make some (relatively) easy money from reminding people of the games they loved growing up. There’s no end to Final Fantasy, Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Rogue-based releases going around, after all. I must…

Like its predecessors, Death end re;Quest: Code Z looks like it should be a pretty standard Idea Factory JRPG. You’ve got cute anime girls, most of them with very large assets, and magical girl-style transformation screens that make full use of those assets for maximum impact. Then you have long…

AFL 23 grew from a shaky start to become something that most fans of the sport could love. It followed Big Ant’s usual MO of, shall we say, responsive patching post-launch, as the feedback rolled in and the ever-vocal sports game community made it clear what they liked and didn’t.…

I prefer playing games on consoles, as a rule of thumb. I’ve said this often enough, but to repeat the reason for it: I spend so much time working on PCs that I struggle to sit down and play games on them without something kicking in my brain and telling…

Corsair tends to punch above its weight, offering good quality equipment tuned heavily towards gaming applications that feel like they should cost more than they do. The Void Wireless v2 Gaming Headset is a good example of this. For the RRP of around AUD$200 or so, you’re getting a lot.…

One of my first observations about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, was that it was very, very French. Having no idea about the developer prior to playing it, I immediately said to myself, “This is a French game.” Then I saw all the jokes about it being a “J’RPG” and realised…

The original release of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is still very playable on a lot of devices. It is (or, at least, it was) readily available on Game Pass. I haven’t checked that since the release of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, but I assume it’s been replaced now. Either way,…

In this episode, we dig deep into the all-time classic, iconic Mario Kart series. We chat about where we all started with the series, what our personal favourites are, and what we think of an open world, Forza Horizon style take on the formula. From there, we talk about games…
