Review: Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds (Nintendo Switch)

January 28, 2019

JRPG/Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. I’ll start this review with a confession: Final Fantasy VIII is one of my favourite games ever. Not Final Fantasy VII. Not Final Fantasy IX. Those are both perfectly fine, but it’s the story of Squall, Rinoa, and the gang (especially Selphie, the original waifu <3)…

Opinion by Lindsay M. Life has not improved for the young fugitives since we left them in Life Is Strange 2, Episode 1. It’s late November, snow is blanketing the Oregon wilderness where brothers Sean and Daniel have found solace in an abandoned cabin. It’s been good for them so…

News by Matt C. 2019 continues the trend of seemingly every game ever made getting a Switch port. That’s great news for Switch owners, bad news for our wallets, and awful news for DDNet’s News Editor. To save her the hassle of individually writing up every one of these, here’s…

Review: Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal (Sony PlayStation 4)

January 25, 2019

action/brawler/fan service/fanservice/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Senran Kagura/Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal

Review by Matt S. In the grand scheme of things, the complete re-development of the original Senran Kagura Burst is about as pointless as a game development project gets. The original Senran Kagura Burst, on the Nintendo 3DS, was a side-scrolling brawler that was equal parts pure controversy (because games…

Wow, A Plague Tale: Innocence looks like powerful stuff

Review by Matt S. There is perhaps no period of European history more terrifying and bleak than the years of the Black Death. This was a time when, across Europe, not only was violent religious zealotry an everyday reality, but there was a plague that no one had an answer…

Review: The Raven Remastered (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. The influence of Agatha Christie on The Raven is thick, to the point that I needed to go back through the Christie catalogue to confirm that it was an original story and not an attempt to bring a Christie novel to the videogame medium. Christie’s influence,…

Video by Matt S. It’s getting closer and closer to the full release of Dead or Alive 6! I’m so very excited for this one, as I’ve been waiting for a new entry in the series for quite some time now. A little over a month out, and I’ve finally…

Review: Fight of Gods (Nintendo Switch)

January 23, 2019

Fight of Gods/Fighting game/fighting games/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. On the one hand, Fight of Gods his hilarious. The very idea of pitting Jesus Christ against Buddha, or Santa Claus (hilariously the “God of capitalism”) against Amaterasu, Shinto’s highest goddess, is such nonsense, and the game knows it, and runs with it. Sadly, on the…
