black and white/Screenshot/screenshot mode/screenshots/Shadow of the Colossus/Sony

Screenshots by Matt S. In addition to having a complete graphical overhaul, the upcoming remaster of Shadow of the Colossus has one key feature: a comprehensive screenshot mode. This is something that Sony would be appearing to mandate across all its games, as we’ve seen basically the same thing in…

Review: Lost Sphear (Sony PlayStation 4)

January 25, 2018

JRPG/Lost Sphear/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Square Enix/Tokyo RPG Factory

Review by Matt S. Coming off the back of I Am Setsuna, one of my favourite games in the year that it was released (and indeed it won more than a few awards in the DDNet awards that year), Lost Sphear is so remarkably similar it’s staggering, and that’s a…

JRPG/Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds/PC/PC Review/Retro-style/Reviews/Semisoft

Review by Ginny W. Legrand Legacy is the debut title of Semisoft, an indie studio based in Jakarta. For a title that’s been brewing since 2016, it’s already had its fair share of industry accolades in its short lifetime – these range from being a finalist at SXSW’s pitch competition…

News by Matt S. You may remember Miitomo. You probably won’t though. If you’re anything like us, you downloaded it on the day of launch, played around with it for a few days, and then never checked in again. It wasn’t really a game. It was more a super lightweight…

News by Matt S. Deep Silver and developer, Warhorse, has today released a rather in-depth gameplay video showing off Kingdom Come Deliverance, a game that I was vaguely following along with before, but now am completely sold on. This is an open-world RPG set during the time of the Holy…

Early Access Preview: DUSK

January 24, 2018

DUSK/Dusk game preview/Early Access/FPS/Indie/PC/PC Preview/Retro/Shooter/shooters

Preview by Harvard L. DUSK is the epitome of the 90’s shooter come back to life. This is a game reminiscent of Quake, Half-Life and Unreal, starting up with a mock-DOS screen so authentic I felt I was thrown two decades back in time. Everything about this game is an…

Art Game/Inner Flight/Nintendo Switch/PolyKnight Games/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. I have a soft spot for games which make the act of moving engaging: any game in which forward momentum is more interesting than holding the control stick up, whether it’s ziplining and parachuting in Just Cause or chaining grinds in Jet Set Radio. Inner Space,…

News by Matt S. I am so very conflicted right now. Atari has taken to crowdfunding (not Kickstarter, but StartEngine) to raise some money to put a RollerCoaster Tycoon game on Nintendo Switch. I don’t know about you but I can’t think of a console I’d want to play RollerCoaster…

Preview by Matt S. A game that I really enjoy, but haven’t written about much in the past, is Ziggurat. I picked it up about a year or so ago on a whim, and found myself really enjoying the way that it combined Heretic or Hexen-like dark fantasy FPS action…
