February 19, 2020

Koei Tecmo/Musou/Video/Video review/Warriors/Warriors Orochi

Video by Matt S. I came to Koei Tecmo’s Warriors series quite late – my first title was actually the Wii’s Samurai Warriors 3. Since then, though, I’ve not missed a single release. Truth is, I love the Warriors series, and I never seem to get bored with it. Each…

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.

Review 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…

Review 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…

Review by Nick H. The Darksiders formula continues to evolve, and frankly the timing is could not be better, as the last release was beginning to show that the series was not aging gracefully. The Darksiders games have had some pretty obvious influences with its Zelda-like puzzles while shifting to…
