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.
To put this review very simply: The Nintendo Switch is my favourite console of all time, and the Switch 2 is the sequel to that. You could argue that this is almost shockingly safe by Nintendo, given the whimsical direction that the company has taken with most of its modern hardware refreshes, but at the same time this is a…
It’s been a difficult few years for Level-5, from the highs of the likes of Professor Layton, Ni No Kuni and Yo-Kai Watch a decade ago to the lows of… well, everything that it’s done with those properties in recent years. Level-5 just hasn’t been the same company since the…
Capcom has announced Resident Evil: Requiem. This is the ninth title in…
As far as multiplayer with a bunch of randoms goes, social deduction…
Wow did Lover Pretend have the potential to go places. Thankfully it doesn’t, ultimately, but there were more than a few moments on this game’s journey where I felt particularly uncomfortable about some of the flags that it was throwing up despite it being a narrative that is, by developer…

I’m a big fan of itch.io for the freedom and open platform that it allows for developers to be creative, experimental, and directly canvas the audience for feedback for games that are not yet ready for primetime on Steam and its ilk. In addition, itch.io allows you to be transgressive,…

May the great vocaloids above bless D3 Publisher for eternity. Without this company and its love of publishing B-grade aesthetics, we wouldn’t have the likes of Onechanbara, School Girl/Zombie Hunter and Earth Defence Force and the games industry would be a much darker place.
