Review: Fate/Extella Link (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 19, 2019

action game/Dynasty Warriors/Fate/Extella/Fate/Extella Link/hack and slash/Marvellous/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. It must be difficult making one of those “1 vs 1,000” action games, in the vein of Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors series. They obviously sell well enough (because Koei keeps making them), but so few developers even try, much less approach the quality of what Koei…

News by Matt S. Idea Factory is at its fanservicey best with Moero Chronicle, a pretty good dungeon crawler with even better… assets. Previously exclusive to the PC in the west (there is also a PlayStation Vita version, but never released outside of Asia), now it’s got a release date…

Over the next two weeks, we’re going to be sharing some of the DDNet team’s favourite pieces of game music. These aren’t necessarily the best pieces of all time (we all walked away from recording this podcast and immediately thought of another dozen tracks we could talk about), but these…

Review by Matt S. You could call Rico a kind of reverse Payday; where Payday was a co-operative shooter that let you play as the robbers, Rico is a shooter that encourages co-op play and lets you play as the cops. It’s nowhere near as well made as Payday and…

Review: Blood Waves (Nintendo Switch)

March 18, 2019

action game/Blood Waves/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Shooter/shooters/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. One of the best things about the Nintendo Switch is that so many games are released on it each week. A lot of it is really great stuff, too. Where the Wii U, and even the 3DS, were largely sustained by Nintendo and a select handful…

News by Matt S. The most beautiful thing that has ever existed, Hatsune Miku, has been rather quiet of late in the video game arena, after SEGA apparently lost the license to produce new Miku games. Thankfully, it looks like SEGA can continue to support its existing titles, and we’re…

March 14, 2019

Uncategorized

News by Matt S. Koei Tecmo has announced the latest in its Attack on Titan franchise. This newest one, A.O.T. 2: Final Battle, isn’t an entirely new game, per se, but for fans following along with the third season of the anime, the additions are going to make it a…

Review by Matt S. I like Left Alive. That’s quite possibly the most controversial thing that I’ve ever written, given the wave of blind hatred that the game has been attracting since it launched last week. But I genuinely like it. It’s often a mess to play, but, equally, it’s…

Review: Golf Peaks (Nintendo Switch)

Golf Peaks/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Trent P. I have never played real golf, only ever miniature golf. And miniature golf… well, while I think I’m a pro at it, I’m fairly sure the last time I played it with a few friends their two-year old ended up with a higher score than me.…
