November 13, 2018

11-11: Memories Retold/Diablo/Digitally Uploaded/digitallydownloaded.net/Final Fantasy XV/podbean/podcast

Last week brought the sad news that Final Fantasy XV – a game that we at DDNet have enjoyed a great deal – is being wound up, with a number of the planned DLC add-ons now never going to see the light of day. We also talk about the response…

Review: Road Redemption (Sony PlayStation 4)

PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Racing/Reviews/Road Redemption/Roguelike

Review by Matt S. Mad Max is a classic for a reason. A blighted landscape, humanity scratching out an existence, and brutal thugs that look to lord it over the scraps of what remains makes for a grim, but powerful setting. One used over and over again to explore some…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/HyperX/HyperX Pulsefire Core RGB Gaming Mouse/Mouse

Review by Nick H. The HyperX Pulsefire Core RGB Gaming Mouse will not break your budget, but offers solid design but not a lot of the extra frills found in higher end gaming mice. The features it does provide however, are all essentials that are generally well implemented. The first…

News/Nippon Ichi Software/NISA/The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Nippon Ichi has the “twisted fairy tale” aesthetic and tone down pat. Especially with these 2D puzzle platformer game things that it keeps producing. A Rose in the Twilight and htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary on the PlayStation Vita are both perfect examples of NIS’ mastery over…

News by Lindsay M. Pika pika! Warner Bros. released a two-minute trailer for the upcoming Detective Pikachu today, sending Pokémon fans into a frenzy. And with good reason.

Review: Townsmen (Nintendo Switch)

November 12, 2018

Nintendo Switch/Reviews/simulation/Switch Review/Townsmen

Review by Matt S. If it wasn’t for Project Highrise landing on Nintendo Switch just a week ago, I’d be recommending Townsmen. The Nintendo Switch is a perfect device for city building simulators, but aside from a really (really) poor port of Cities: Skylines and a cheap little mobile port…

Gadget Review: Roccat Khan Pro

Gadget review by Nick H With the Roccat Khan Pro, the marketing is straightforward. The focus is on three things: sound quality, being lightweight, and versatility. All all three fronts, the Khan PRO delivers high quality with only one potential concern for down the road. I will tackle these three…

Review: Tetris Effect (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 9, 2018

action puzzle/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Tetris/Tetris Effect/Tetsuya Mizuguchi

Review by Matt S. People who love Tetris will love Tetris Effect, because it is Tetris. If I’m stating the obvious, it’s only because this game was being pitched on not being a “pure” Tetris, but rather some kind of fusion between Tetris and the neon-and-music genius that made Rez…

Review: Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix (Nintendo Switch)

JRPG/Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/tactics game

Review by Matt S. Once of the better value packages that you can buy on the Nintendo Switch is Mercenaries Saga Chronicles. The collection features three tactics JRPGs by RideonJapan, and while these games all come off as a cheap homage to Final Fantasy Tactics, and don’t reach the standards…
