Game	Platform	Review	Comments
Daikatana	PC	Good	People gave up on this game too early or was too harsh on it. I found it very fun -- maybe not best ever, but good.
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic	PC	Good	KICKING SIMULATOR. What incredibly great gameplay. Dragged down a bit by please stop with the story...
Darkest Dungeon	PC	Good	Gather your party and keep them sane through a dungeon crawl. Tons of nice strategy make this game a fun time though it can get a bit old too fast.
Darksiders	PC	Meh	Third person combat with some frustrating control elements and typical artificial difficulty sections.
Daytona USA	Arcade	Good	Absolutely fun driving game with great controls.
Dead Space	PC	Meh	Too much story, odd viewing angle and wonky controls makes the game difficult to play and even watch at times for me (motion sickness).
DEATH STRANDING	PC	Bad	Literally a walking simulator. Boring as anything with waaaaayyyyyyy too much story.
Defender	Arcade	Good	Absolutely need the original control setup for this one. Space shooter where you're caught between caution and saving humans.
Defense Grid: The Awakening	PC	Meh	Tower defense has never been my thing, but this at least is fun for a short while before you realize it's all the same boring tripe and quit the game forever.
Democracy 3	PC	Good	Brought peace, prosperity, and happiness to my country. Assassinated by religious extremists for daring to not put religion on the highest pedestal. Would definitely recommend.
Descent	DOS	Good	Incredible early six degrees of freedom shooter with addicting gameplay.
Descent II	DOS	Good	Gives you much more of what you got from the original with more challenging gameplay.
Descent 3	PC	Bad	They just didn't even try with this one. Boring, soulless, poor gameplay.
Destiny 2	PC	Bad	A who cares, pointless, soulless slog of a shooter with random encounters and uninteresting goals. Don't see the appeal.
Deus Ex	PC	Meh	The idea of being able to achieve your goal in multiple ways is appealing but the execution of the game is very flawed with some poor game design choices and way too much story.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution	PC	Bad	Just a laughable pile of trash where you have no option but to VERY SLOWLY tiptoe your way through everything because the game thinks you need to be stealthy at all times for some reason.
Diablo	PC	Good	Endless clicker with satisfying gameplay and tons of loot.
Diablo II	PC	Good	Even more of the good stuff from Diablo. Addicting.
Dig Dug	Arcade	Good	An incredibly satisfying attack mechanic while digging through the dirt and dropping rocks which can also be satisfying if your enemies are lined up under it.
Donkey Kong	Arcade	Good	Hello, Mario! Run and jump your way over obstacles to get to the top and save not-Princess-Peach from the clutches of a large ape. Earns its classic status.
Donkey Kong	Gameboy	Good	Starts as a port of the original DK but turns into a very clever and fun puzzle/platformer game with tons of imaginative and well-designed levels.
Donkey Kong 3	Arcade	Meh	You remember Stanley, right? Poor Stanley never got Mario's fame as he fights the Kong with... um... bug spray? A really weak spin on the classic game with still some fun to be had.
Donkey Kong Country (series)	Super Nintendo	Bad	Frustrating, loose, imprecise controls and laughable gameplay that is a direct result of putting graphics first probably makes this one of the first big Style Over Substance games. Bad.
Donkey Kong Jr.	Arcade	Good	The tables have turned as Junior climbs and winds his way up to save his father from the clutches of Mario (and Luigi, it seems). A very good twist on the classic game.
Doom / Ultimate Doom	DOS	Great	The best. Absolutely flawless from beginning to end. Well-designed, executed, everything.
DOOM (2016)	PC	Bad	Monster pinatas, trap rooms, bad weapons, jumping puzzles, STORY? This isn't Doom. Stop calling it Doom.
DOOM 3 / Resurrection of Evil	PC	Bad	This isn't Doom. It's Resident Evil: Mars. Slow gameplay, weak weapons, too much story. Boring.
DOOM 64	Nintendo 64	Meh	It'd be good if it had decent controls...
DOOM 64	PC	Good	which the PC version has, turning a game with frustrating controls and gameplay because of a laughably bad controller into a legitimate Doom experience.
DOOM II: Hell on Earth	DOS	Great	Maybe not as good as the original Doom, but the difference in quality and gameplay is minimal. Mostly because of a few levels with a dip in quality.
DOOM: Custom Playstation Edition	Playstation	Good	Missing quite a bit from the original, has Doom II enemies in the Doom section of the game for some reason, has weird sound effects, and boring ambient music. Still pretty good even with a gamepad.
DOTA 2	PC	Awful	This game should be illegal to play and wiped completely from existence. It takes the worst qualities from the genres that influenced it and frames it as a game for hardcore competitive gamers who cannot stand playing the game casually.
