Review: Hunt: Showdown (Sony PlayStation 4)

Crytek/Hunt/Hunt: Showdown/Multiplayer/multiplayer only game/Multiplayer shooter/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Shooter/shooters

Review 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…

Hunt: Showdown is great fun… but should have been single player

Video by Matt S. As a fan of horror, I was really keen to check Hunt: Showdown out, now that it has finally landed on PlayStation 4. Crytek’s multiplayer horror-em-up always looked like it was going to deliver something special as a deep south B-grade Gothic horror experience. Unfortunately, while…

Video by Harvard L. Bayonetta is 10 years old this year, and PlatinumGames have celebrated the milestone by re-releasing the game, along with Vanquish, on the PlayStation 4. Does it still hold up? Is is still that classic action-brawler that its reputation suggests it is? Harvard asks those questions as…

Review: Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate (Nintendo Switch)

February 19, 2020

Review 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…

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…

Aksys/Aksys Games/Code Realize Guardian of Rebirth/Idea Factory/Nintendo Switch/otome/Reviews/romance/Switch Review/visual novel

Review 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…

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…
