Fear the Spotlight channels PS1-era horror with its retro charm, tense atmosphere, and clever puzzles. It’s a short, engaging homage to classic survival horror games..

Mouthwashing captivates with its eerie atmosphere, gripping narrative, and tense psychological horror. While some mechanics falter, it’s a memorable, haunting indie gem of 2024.

Funko Fusion is not a bad game by any means, but it’s certainly not the standout experience it had the potential to be.

While The Road Ahead nails its survival mechanics, it ultimately falls short in narrative and gameplay depth. An immersive experience, but one with lasting impact.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure stays true to the beloved themes of the series while introducing fresh new faces and deepening Max's development.

A quirky and vibrant storybook adventure with so much to offer that you won't want to put this lighthearted tale down.

This Supermassive title is a thoughtful and worthwhile addition to the Dead by Daylight universe.

Dustborn attempts to tackle a lot of genres, and it honours most of them very well. This emotional, political road trip reaches its destination, but suffers a few too many bumps along the way.

Still Wakes the Deep is an example of modern psychological and survival horror done right in just about every way possible. It's obvious that The Chinese Room has learned a lot from creating titles like Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, and that expertise has culminated in the studio's best title yet.

In the game's current state, I recommend it as an above average, albeit not groundbreaking, psychological horror title - but I can't recommend it as a simulator. Autopsy Simulator ironically isn't a simulator, but it's a pretty good psychological horror game that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
