Video by Pierre-Yves L. DDNet contributor, Pierre-Yves, had the opportunity to get some good time in with a preview build of the latest effort to bring the Soulsborne formula to dark sci-fi, with The Surge 2. Is it all that? Well… it’s certainly off to a good start! Stay tuned…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Fan service takes many forms. We often talk about it in terms of lovely ladies and men that strip down to their underthings, but really, that’s just one (admittedly common) example of it. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is another kind of fan service.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. With over 700 monsters to collect and battle, Siralim 3 is the game that you should probably be playing if you are one of those that is disappointed by the limited Pokedex that the upcoming Pokemon titles will offer. Beneath Siralim’s humble presentation is a deep…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m of the belief that Stranger Things is the best TV we’ve seen in years, and the recent third season is particularly good. It’s rare that I make the time to “binge” a TV show, but I couldn’t stop watching Stranger Things 3. And that’s why…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. The tactics RPG is a badly under-represented one. Despite the enduring success of Fire Emblem, the historic popularity of Final Fantasy Tactics, the critical plaudits directed at The Banner Saga, and the genre hits like God Wars and Disgaea, there’s something about the genre that seems…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Be careful what you wish for. The SteamWorld series, by developer Image & Form, has always offered stellar production values and tight, engaging gameplay, across the many genres that it has crossed over the years.
