Stray
Further enhancing the game’s atmosphere is its music, with a synth-focused soundtrack, ranging from heart-pounding and fast-paced, to subtle and mellow. While exploring and investigating Stray’s mysteries, the soundtrack lures you forward, subconsciously motivating you to press onward. It’s just one of the many things that add to the immersion,...
MADiSON is simultaneously one of the most tantalizing, yet enraging horror experiences I’ve ever played. The atmosphere and story are rich and engaging, and the scares are turned up to 11. But the puzzles are so baffling that it’s tough to recommend this game even to devoted horror fans. That...
Mario Strikers: Battle League is a good soccer game. Its potential greatness is marred by its complexity. The soundtrack and art style offer enough to tempt gamers into trying it out, and if they can grok many nuanced gameplay systems, then this soccer game might have legs. Still, issues with...
Soulslikes are appealing because of the sense of accomplishment they evoke, offering tremendously difficult battles that — with practice — can be overcome. Every death feels fair, and the design philosophy is fine-tuned in such a way that feels intentional and deliberate. Salt and Sacrifice, on the other hand, achieves...
WWE 2K22 is a major improvement over its predecessor, but given just how awful the last entry was, there wasn’t anywhere to go but up.

Here's our Zombie Army 4 Dead War review. Does it improve upon the previous iterations and make for a worthy successor?
1999’s The Blair Witch Project is a film that captivated and horrified its audience when it debuted in 1999, spawning a whole Blair Witch franchise that has spun off into sequels and other media. Now, 20 years later, we have a game simply titled Blair Witch, developed by Bloober Team, the studio...
Rage 2
When it was first revealed that we would be getting a sequel to 2010’s RAGE, many of us didn’t know what to think. A common response was “why?” RAGE 2 was developed by Avalanche Studios (in conjunction with id Software) and is an open-world first person shooter, with an apocalyptic setting —...
When we first caught wind that there would be a video game loosely based on 2013’s zombie action film World War Z, it seemed somewhat out of place. Announced at 2017’s Game Awards ceremony, World War Z is a third-person action game that is not only derived from the film, but set...
