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…

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…

Review: Onimusha: Warlords (Nintendo Switch)

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…

Review by Matt S. Having a card game on the Nintendo Switch is the most delightful idea. As someone who started playing the physical Magic: The Gathering from the very first edition, and then played dozens of other trading card games (TCG) in the years since, from Call of Cthulhu…

Video by Matt S. Dead or Alive 6 is one of my most anticipated games of 2019, and over the weekend Koei Tecmo held a Network Test to give people a taste of what it’ll be like when it launches on March 1. I’ve done a short video to share…

Review: Everything (Nintendo Switch)

January 14, 2019

Alan Watts/Art Game/Everything/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/walking simulator

Review by Lee F. As the title implies, the pitch line for this game could be summed up as “it’s a game about everything.” Specifically, it’s about being everything, which has a philosophical double-meaning that its narrator explores. I was both intrigued and mildly alarmed by the description, that it…

List by Matt S. Whether it be because of licensing, a developer going out of business, or the industry simply moving on, every generation there are a lot of games that end up “lost” – the original games might be available in some form or another, but the changes of…
