Review: Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (Sony PlayStation 4)

January 18, 2019

Ace Combat/Ace Combat 7/Bandai Namco/dogfight game/flight sim/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Serious aircraft simulators are for really hardcore players. There’s a certain thrill to mastering the complex controls for aeronautical terms I’d never be able to memorise, I’m sure, but those games are well beyond me, which is unfortunate, because I enjoy the idea of them a…

News by Matt S. Do I dare hope that this will actually be good? Power Rangers, the franchise, is all about fighting on top of fighting. And now there’s a new fighting game coming that lets you settle once and for all which ranger is the best (yellow. Always, always…

News by Matt S. Finally! Trails of Cold Steel 1 & 2, on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita were two of the finest JRPGs that have been produced in recent memory. It might not be a series with the mainstream awareness of some others, but both games are genuinely…

Review: Bury Me, My Love (Nintendo Switch)

January 17, 2019

Art Game/Bury Me My Love/Nintendo Switch/political game/Reviews/Switch Review/visual novel

Review by Matt S. Bury Me, My Love should be a game that is mandatory for us all to play. At a time when in the west we have developed a kind of cultural sociopathy towards the most desperate among the human population – people who our nations are directly…

Review: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes (Nintendo Switch)

January 16, 2019

action game/Goichi Suda/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/Travis Strikes Again

Review by Matt S. Travis Strikes Again is quite clearly a vanity project for the endlessly eclectic Goichi Suda. It was his opportunity to indulge his love of retro games, indie game development, and Devolver Digital (we all know there’s a collaboration project coming up; just announce it already). It’s…

Review by Harvard L. So I’ve written for DDNet for a while, and I find that the games that I tend to like the most are the ones that feel like more than just a game – the ones that make me think about my life, and reality itself. I’ve…

Arabian Nights/Australia/City of Brass/FPS/News/Nintendo Switch/Roguelite

News by Matt S. Australian-developed City of Brass is one of the best FPS roguelites going around. Not only does it offer slick, engaging, challenging action, but it has a really cool Arabian Nights theme. It would have been nice to see more done with the theme, since we don’t…

January 15, 2019

action game/Capcom/Horror/Nintendo Switch/Onimusha/Onimusha: Warlords/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Before there was Nioh, there was Onimusha: Warlords. That’s not a superficial comparison. Nioh was a dark fantasy tale that mixed Japanese yokai and oni mythology with Sengoku-era heroes and villains. Onimusha: Warlords… is a dark fantasy tale that mixes Japanese yokai and oni mythology with…
