Review by Matt S. The only right way to play Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight is to play them together. Individually they’re a little limited, but taken together they’re a marvellous celebration of the incredible music that has powered so much of the tone…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. We’re big fans of the Yakuza series here at DDNet. Between the urban playgrounds that they provide us to mess around with, to the oddball and often hilarious storylines, right through to the violence yakuza fantasies, each Yakuza title is an mesh of so much stuff…
