Shogi is an excellent, if under-appreciated game in the west. Real Time Battle Shogi makes Shogi an action e-sports thing, and while it might sound beyond strange on paper, in action this thing is remarkably compelling… even if it’s difficult to get a game going online. Even if you can’t…
Read MoreReview by Alex Kidman. In the field of zombie cooking platform comedy simulators, there’s never been a game quite like Dungeon Munchies. That is of course because the field of zombie cooking platform comedy simulators is one where Dungeon Munchies represents fully 100 per cent of the category. Nonetheless, here…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. There was a point where every developer and publisher needed to have their own monster battler game. Pokémon was, and remains, the lord and king of this space, but there were aspirants like Dragon Quest Monsters and Digimon that gave it a fair shake. There was…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I grew up with the Asterix & Obelix series. Where other kids around me were more into the American superheroes, the very French antics of these very French characters were much more my thing.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ve spent a lot of time over the past weekend trying to understand what Date Night Bowling is. It’s got a gorgeous 80’s and 90’s style aesthetic, with plenty of neon colours and that CRT filter to double-down on that nostalgic edge. And it is nostalgic.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The amusing thing about BloodRayne 2 is that the game was very much less favoured on its original release… but the ReVamped edition shows that it has held up better. When you consider what the first BloodRayne was trying to achieve – to be that grimy,…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. The Kids We Were is a beautiful, artful and emotional little arthouse experience, which comes to Nintendo Switch and Steam very soon indeed. We have a review on DigitallyDownloaded.net, but in this video, we talk about the way the game handles nostalgia for youth, and why…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. The warm aesthetics will warm you while the emotional narrative will often chill you. The Kids We Were is a pixelated Life Is Strange, or an animated Stephen King coming of age story. There’s a dash of Back To The Future, too,…
