Review by Matt S. Through Shinto-based storytelling and mythology there is a fun concept in Japan; Hyakki Yagyo, which translates as “The Night Parade of 100 Demons”. That’s only a rough translation, since the “parade” is made up of yokai, which are not really demons, but rather spirit creatures. Nonetheless…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Set one-hundred years after the events of Mega Man X6, Zero is awakened by a scientist named Ciel in order to help save a group of reploids from being “retired” by the current tyrant… none other than the once hero, Mega Man X. Running away from…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The swan song for the incredibly talented Japanese developer, Neverland, Rune Factory 4 was one of the finest titles released on the Nintendo 3DS. A beautifully elegant little game, Rune Factory 4 perfectly blended action JRPG dungeon crawling with everything that we love about the pastoral…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Having originally launched on the PC back in 2015, the final chapter of Van Helsing and his ghostly companion Lady Katarina is coming to a close on consoles. Having defeated his foes and stopped the civil war in Borgovia’s city of Borgova, Van Helsing now faces…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ciel Fledge doesn’t hide the source of its inspiration: the game wants to be a Princess Maker title in all but name, and largely succeeds at that. Your task is to take a 10 year old girl, and by managing her routines and making the right…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Hunt: Showdown so desperately needed to be a different type of game. As a multiplayer shooter, it works, and indeed works really well. But it needed to be a single player, narrative-driven experience (and, you have to suspect, was at some stage designed that way) because…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The base Warriors Orochi 4 is a cracking game. Bringing together 170 characters from Koei Tecmo’s Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors series, with some original characters and fresh new faces, it was a brawler that was pure fantasy and fan service for anyone who loves the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Anyone questioning the wisdom of having so many games being ported to Nintendo Switch, with minimal additions or changes, should perhaps consider that not everyone has had the chance to play the original releases. Case-in-point, for whatever reason I had never played Code: Realize. With it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I love Hatsune Miku. I know that’s stating the obvious, and anyone reading DigitallyDownloaded.net knows just how much I really, really love Hatsune Miku, but as far as I’m concerned, a Miku game really has been the one missing gap in the Nintendo Switch’s otherwise stellar…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. It’s amazing that Vanquish in 2020 is celebrating its tenth anniversary: a game which once was difficult to track down, yet revered by those who had played it. It’s a game which seemingly predicted the direction that third-person shooters would take over the next decade, championing…
