News by Matt S. I don’t usually cover sales figures here on DigitallyDownloaded.net, because how well a game sells is really irrelevant to the quality of it. We’re here to talk about art and stuff, not the business of making games, but since this is about the goddess herself, I’ll…
Read MoreGame Theory by Matt S. With Persona 5 Strikers just around the corner (and review embargo lifting in a few days), I figured I’d publish this piece that explains some of the underlying thinking that has gone into the Persona 5 mini-series. Let me know your thoughts! Persona 5 is…
Read MoreNews by Matt S.You can’t help but feel that Judgment flew under the radar a little. It was a Yakzua game in all but name, but the shift in protagonists and focus (you play as someone who is nominally on the side of the law this time) meant that it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. At this point, I think that I’ve been fully Stockholm Syndromed into Football Manager Touch. The three previous titles on Nintendo Switch are all inside my top 20 in terms of total hours playtime on the console. Every year without fail these things land on the…

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. The latest in SEGA’s beloved Yakuza series, Like A Dragon, is an excellent game indeed. But most people already knew that would be the case. What a lot of people are less aware of is that the entire series is also very heavily rooted in a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. When I first heard that there was a turn-based Yakuza game on the way, I had no idea how it was going to work, but I was certainly intrigued by the potential of a Yakuza X Persona cross-over. Yakuza titles are always known for being a…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. SEGA turned 60 this year, and that’s a massive achievement for any company, let alone one in the eternally-shaky world of video games. SEGA knows it, too, and is rewarding players in a big way, though you’re going to have to be quick so that you…
Read MoreNews by Matt S.Looking forward to Yakuza: Like a Dragon? You should be. The brilliant blend of noirish drama and oddball humour, with turn-based combat, is a mix that is so potentially brilliant we could well see this game become our favourite in the entire series. We now have all…
