Review by Matt C. I think BoxBoy! took everyone by surprise when it was released in 2015. Coming seemingly out of nowhere, it delivered a puzzle platforming experience unlike any other, and a game dripping with minimalist charm. It got a well-earned sequel, BoxBoxBoy!, a year later, and now the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Dragon Quest VIII is one of the best JRPGs ever crafted, and the 3DS is a great platform for it. I could leave the review at that and slap a score on it, but that would be rather lazy, so here’s a bunch more words about…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I don’t really understand the logic of having Shin Megami Tensei games on Nintendo 3DS. Here we have an incredibly dark, violent, adult series on a console best suited to uber-cute chibi characters and bright colours. That’s not designed as an insult to the console, but…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Nintendo realised the dreams of many of its fans when it released Super Mario Maker on the Nintendo Wii U last year. Offering players a comprehensive toolset to create entire levels just as the good folks at Nintendo itself do, the game was perhaps the greatest…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Pokemon has been a fading franchise. I know I’m going to get a horde of people yelling at me for saying that, but here’s the reality; without actually changing anything about the core Pokemon game, Game Freak has churned out iteration after iteration, each time with…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I first fell in love with Rhythm Heaven in 2010, one year after its worldwide DS release, after everyone had written it off as “probably shovelware” at the end of the DS’s cycle. It’s a series every fan of rhythm games should be acquainted with, taking…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. It’s no secret that the original Corpse Party is an older horror game. The latest entry in the franchise is a polished version of that release and retains the original’s overall aesthetics and mechanics. What’s fascinating is that, 20 years later, Corpse Party is still a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The DigitallyDownloaded.net team are a little divided on Yo-Kai Watch. Some of the team can’t get into it when compared to other monster collecting games like Pokemon. Fair enough, too; the combat system is more hands-off, and the monsters themselves lack the adorable charm that we…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I haven’t liked the direction that Mario Party has been heading for quite some time. Back on the Nintendo 64, where the series debuted, I enjoyed the games because they offered nice, light-hearted and entertaining board games, with plenty of minigames thrown in to keep the…
Read MoreReview by Mikhail M. The Ace Attorney franchise is pretty special for me. It is also one of Capcom’s best franchises and I rank it up there with the likes of Monster Hunter. I still remember borrowing the original Ace Attorney from a friend when I got my 3DS and…
