Review by Harvard L. My Friend Pedro is admittedly very on brand for Devolver Digital, and it’s no surprise either that it first found life as a Flash short on Adult Swim Games. It’s another in the line of skill-intensive, individual-expression-through-stylised-violence games that follows in the wake of Hotline Miami…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. Welcome to the second event of E3 we’re recapping! This time Devolver Digital is in the crosshairs, and if the past year is anything to go off, this year should bring more dry wit and unique games to the table. And lots of swearing. Related reading:…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Observation is the newest title from Devolver Digital, and as you might expect from that eclectic publisher, it’s a bit of an indie masterpiece. This one is clearly inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, that classic film, and offers a deep and nuanced take on the…

Read MoreReview by Matt C. When I previewed it last month, I said that Gris was shaping up to be a powerful allegory for depression. Now that I’ve seen it all the way through, I can confirm that that is absolutely the case: without so much as a word, Gris weaves…
Read MorePreview by Matt C. Gris is one of the most beautiful games ever made. This much was clear when it was first unveiled earlier this year, but to actually play it and see everything in motion is an utter delight. People often liken games to “a painting in motion”—hyperbole, most…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Lindsay, DDNet’s news editor, is going to hate me for saying this, because she is constantly telling me know great Reigns is, but I’ve not actually played either the original, or its sequel (Her Majesty) before. As great as these games have always sounded, they’ve been…
