Review by Matt S. I did make a promise to myself that in 2020 I would try and play fewer games, but go much deeper on those that I did play. That would mean that I stopped giving so many poor or middling titles a go purely on the basis…
Read MoreVideo by Harvard L. For the last let’s play of the year, Harvard decided to take a look at four of the quirkiest little indie games that you can find on the Nintendo Switch. These are all really, really oddball games, and most certainly not for everyone, but if you find…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. There’s nothing that quite compares to this game, in which you get to measure your daughter’s growing bust and hip dimensions on her way to (hopefully) catching the eye of the kingdom’s prince. No, wait, let me rephrase that in a way that doesn’t sound completely…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Earthnight, developed by Philadelphia based Cleaversoft, is one strange game. In a nutshell it’s kind of an endless runner, but it’s also a post-apocalyptic space dragon slaying action game, with procedurally-generated elements. For the most part, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. But it’s…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. How does this series keep pulling me back, year after year? The previous two years of FM Touch are both in the top five Nintendo Switch most played games, and here we are with FM 2020 immediately accumulating more hours across more sleepless nights than I…

Read MoreAwards by the DDNet Team It’s that time of year again, where we look back at the year that was, and pick our top three games across a host of categories! As with years past we’ll reveal one award winner per day, and this year we’ve got a massive 17…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Princess Maker Go!Go! Princess is an odd thing to release in English. Really, really odd. It’s a board game spinoff of a series of life simulation titles that has had a really (really) marginal impact outside of Japan, and the series itself has been dormant everywhere…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. In recent years we’ve seen some impressive efforts to take the gamebook format – a popular kind of “game” that largely predates video games – and revitalise it for a modern audience. Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf was given an invigorating combat system and 3D presentation. Australia’s…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. I’m a big fan of Star Ocean – have been since the third game was released on PlayStation 2. However I had never actually played the original, so with Square Enix releasing the remake of it on PlayStation 4 and other consoles, I jumped at the…
