Silent Hill 2

Silent Hill 2

October 3, 2024
3.5

Silent Hill 2 both succeeds and falters because of its almost reverential recreation of the original. While that makes for a good horror game overall, it shies away from improvements or reinterpretations that could have smoothed over older ideas or enhanced dated mechanics.

This is a great, if short, horror game with impeccable looks and fantastic atmosphere. It's scary and full of character, but with a barely five-hour run time your enjoyment could depend on what you paid for it.

Crow Country
4/5

Filled with great puzzles and an engaging world, Crow Country is a well made recreation of how you remember classic 90s horror games. It's familiar enough to feel authentic but different enough to keep things mysterious.

Sons of the Forest
5/5

Sons of the Forest is a great horror game and survival craft em up that balances a strong atmosphere and terrifying moments with player freedom. Whether you want to build a better tree house, or survive the story, there's something here for you.

Pacific Drive

Pacific Drive

3/5

As unpredictable as it is rewarding, Pacific Drive can be brilliant, infuriating, and frustrating in equal measure. There's a great idea here but much of its potential is burned up by a tough mid-game learning curve, and unpredictably cruel dangers.

A decent, if unspectacular take, on an alien Far Cry that uses its source material well to create an engaging world to explore.

System Shock
3/5

An oddly pitched remake that has its moments but adds very little to the original beyond a visual upgrade

Dead Island 2
4/5

Zombie hacking at its purest, Dead Island 2 takes some simple ideas and works them to perfection in a well-made and fun game. It's a one note thrill, but does well to make that note absolutely sing.

A fantastic looking game that builds a great sci-fi world only to trash it with an unenjoyable combat challenge.

God of War Ragnarök
5/5

A beautiful world filled with things to discover, and a fitting close for Kratos' viking adventure that only misses full marks thanks to a light touch opening half that takes a while to hit its stride.
