Review by Harvard L. I honestly expected a much darker game from the title of Death Squared, but the newest arrival from Sydney indie developer, SMG Studios, brings puzzle gameplay backed with lots of laughter. It’s a simple puzzle game about getting squares to their end-states. It’s also wickedly difficult.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Having already reviewed Fate/Extella on the PlayStation 4, there’s not a whole lot that I can add to that review in itself for the Nintendo Switch release. The games are fundamentally the same, but that in itself is noteworthy; while Fate/Extella was previously available as a…
Read MoreReviews by Matt S. The Nintendo Switch is really picking up some steam now. It’s incredible to think that just a couple of months ago we were struggling to understand Nintendo’s approach to the console, and whether there was a market for it. Now, we are quite happy to say…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. As a rule of thumb we aim to write reviews of at least 1000 words at DDNet. We do that because we like to explore the various themes that games put forward at depth, and all games, regardless of design, are the product of a lot…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. When it comes to rhythm games, Rayark is one of my favourite developers that isn’t working with Hatsune Miku. The Taiwanese house has gifted the world with a “trilogy” of genre masterpieces in Cytus, Deemo and Voez, and every one of those three are genuinely elite…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Shephy is a simple Japanese card game designed by indie artist Pawn and developed by Arc System Works. It features some very cute artwork and comes at a low price point, so I’m mostly writing this review to warn you that looks can be deceiving and…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Mighty Gunvolt Burst comes at an exciting time for the Nintendo Switch – it’s the first hardcore platformer available for the console, and it arrives before Nintendo’s own Virtual Console does so it won’t need to compete with the retro games it aims to emulate. Inti…
