Stargate: Timekeepers is not a great attempt at bringing Stargate to video games. I say this with all due respect to the developer and publisher in Slitherine, and in isolation, divorced from its license, Timekeepers is good fun. It’s just a very strange project and I’m not sure who it’s…

Gollum offends me. It’s not the bugs, and thankfully the launch version of the game is less buggy than the review build that vexed other critics (though it still has bugs). It’s also not because of the less-than-AAA presentation that some have been complaining about. It looks good for a…

It took a little over 15 years to get Kamiwaza localised in the west, and while this is an incredible niche title, it’s well worth trying. To this day it comes across as overly ambitious to what developer, Acquire, perhaps had the resources to deliver, but this game and its…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Shadow Tactics (by the same developer that produced last year’s Desperados III) is a deeply underrated game. We’re part of the problem here at DDNet. After all, we didn’t cover it on its release. But perhaps we’ll get a chance to make amends, because Shadow Tactics:…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Last of Us Part II is a difficult game to review. That’s not to say that there isn’t anything worth talking about in it, because there is a lot, but rather the difficulty comes from an extended list of embargo conditions that make it impossible…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. If you haven’t heard about Desperados III yet, you really should pay attention to it, as this stealth tactics game is shaping up to be something special indeed. It has been 14 years since the last one, but as one of the many IPs that THQ…
Read MoreGadget review by Matt S. Putting aside my intense distaste for the camouflage aesthetic (unless you’re actively looking to hide from enemy combatants, you don’t need to look like a soldier), the Stealth XP-Warrior headset has really impressed me. For a budget headset it offers both clear sound and an…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Untitled Goose Game is the perfect game in its simplicity. It gives players a toybox, and then encourages them to mess it up in whatever wildly creative way they can dream up. Every second of it offers up the driest of dry humour which, coupled with…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. The Church in the Darkness stars you as Vic, the sibling of a member of the Collective Justice Mission cult. In a revisionist 1970’s, the cult’s enigmatic leaders took exception to America’s policies and relocated all its members to an agrarian compound in South America. As…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. A Plague Tale: Innocence is a game of two parts. One is its narrative, and Innocence tells an absolutely cracking narrative. In it, 14 year-old Amicia and her little brother struggle to survive the perfect storm of the Black Death, the Inquisition, and the Hundred Years…
