Review by Matt S. Bury Me, My Love should be a game that is mandatory for us all to play. At a time when in the west we have developed a kind of cultural sociopathy towards the most desperate among the human population – people who our nations are directly…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Travis Strikes Again is quite clearly a vanity project for the endlessly eclectic Goichi Suda. It was his opportunity to indulge his love of retro games, indie game development, and Devolver Digital (we all know there’s a collaboration project coming up; just announce it already). It’s…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. So I’ve written for DDNet for a while, and I find that the games that I tend to like the most are the ones that feel like more than just a game – the ones that make me think about my life, and reality itself. I’ve…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Well, there’s certainly more than enough content to go around in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch. With over 150 levels, spread across New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, you’re not going to stop playing any time soon. You…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Seed of the Dead was previously called “Rape of the Dead”. That should tell you all you need to know about the class of this game. Or, more specifically, its complete lack of class. It’s a game about a zombie plague and you, a dude, running…
