Review: eFootball Kick-Off (Nintendo Switch 2)

One of the best things about eFootball Kick-Off is that it has a global championship mode, structured just like a FIFA World Cup, with all the players and nations you could hope for, without it being a World Cup. You can buy this and enjoy all the thrills of The Beautiful Game of football without contributing to the second most…

Review: The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Nintendo Switch 2)

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is what happens when the Octopath Traveler team decides they’re going to tackle Zelda next. It’s an incredibly brave project. Zelda doesn’t really need a “spiritual sequel,” with Nintendo very much committed to its continuation. And it’s Nintendo’s single biggest property. To actively…

Review: Birushana: Winds of Fate (Nintendo Switch)

Idea Factory and its otome factory, Otomate, is at its best when…

Review: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (Nintendo Switch 2)

I don’t have too much to say about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth…

Review: Ravenous Devils (Nintendo Switch)

May 9, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Reviews/simulation

Before the film that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp had way too much fun with, and before even the Stephen Sondheim musical that more people should see a production of, Sweeny Todd was a Penny Dreadful. People don’t really know what these are anymore, but they were once wildly popular…

Review: Trek To Yomi (Sony PlayStation 5)

May 5, 2022

Devolver Digital/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 5/Uncategorized

Leonard Menchiari (RIOT: Civil Unrest, The Eternal Castle), is quickly becoming one of my favourite independent game auteurs. His work – regardless of who he is working with – has a kind of intensity and focus that is almost overwhelming and that makes it hard to tear your attention away…

Review: Farm Manager 2022 (Sony PlayStation 4)

May 5, 2022

PlayStation 4/Reviews

I’ve played loads of farming sims (Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Stardew Valley) so when I learned I was going to review Farm Manager 2022 I was pretty excited. I figured it would be like those games but seriously amped up, and I wasn’t wrong there. It’s an incredibly in-depth…

Review: Waifu Impact (Nintendo Switch)

May 4, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Reviews

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that “Waifu Impact” was a play on Genshin Impact. That’s the most interesting thing about this game, though I must admit that in the hand of competent developers this concept could have been spun into something good. The basic concept is…

Review: Samurai Bringer (Nintendo Switch)

April 29, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Playism/Reviews

Samurai Bringer is Samurai Warriors: The Roguelike. If that doesn’t have you rushing to the eShop to buy it right now, then you’re probably not a regular reader of DigitallyDownloaded.net. This game is an excellent, clever, interesting and entertaining take on the roguelike, and while I’m getting increasingly burned out…

Review: Legend of Ixtona (Nintendo Switch)

April 26, 2022

JRPG/Kemco/Nintendo Switch/Reviews

I knew what I was getting when I stepped into Legend of Ixtona. It is a Kemco game, after all, and that means Z-grade storytelling and the cheapest of presentational standards. However, as a life-long fan of tactics JRPGs, I wasn’t going to pass up on this one either. I…

Review: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (Nintendo Switch)

April 26, 2022

Atlus/Nintendo Switch/Reviews

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim did to me what all good science fiction does – it made me, just for a little bit, question my perception of reality. Vanillaware’s latest title deviates from its gorgeous 2D fantasy brawlers to deliver a visual-novel-RTS hybrid that’s heavily focused on character interaction. The strategy…

Review: Roguebook (Nintendo Switch)

April 21, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Reviews

Trust Richard Garfield to reinvigorate my interest in deckbuilding roguelikes. I thought I was done with them. 2017’s Slay the Spire is excellent, but didn’t need to spawn an entire genre over the course of just five years, and we’ve already reached the point where the likes of Monster Train,…

Review: Neptunia X Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars (Nintendo Switch)

April 20, 2022

Idea Factory/Nintendo Switch/Reviews

I’m going to simply copy in a big chunk of my original review of Neptunia X Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars on PlayStation 4 for this review of the new Nintendo Switch edition. I almost wasn’t going to play this version at all, as the updates that were being trumpeted in…

Review: Chinatown Detective Agency (Nintendo Switch)

April 19, 2022

Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews

A game… where you might learn something?!?! Perish the thought! That is what Chinatown Detective Agency is, though. It’s inspired by the classic Carmen Sandiago (the only game we were allowed to play on school computers when I was in primary school), and it’s a puzzle-based adventure game where the…
