Hyper Light Drifter was one of my favourite indie games when it was released back in 2016. A callback to the classic Zelda titles with just a hint of soulslike to keep things spicy, mixed in with a phenomenal pixel art direction. Unfortunately, the 3D Action Roguelike follow-up Hyper Light Breaker didn’t live up to expectations and, despite some great ideas, fell flat in execution. Possessor(s) is the latest game from Heart Machine, but can it bring them back to their former glory?
What happens when you get ex-Telltale games and Ubisoft developers and give them complete freedom to create something entirely new? You get Dispatch, a superhero workplace comedy in the same style as Telltale games. In a year of huge surprises, like Expedition 33 and Arc Raiders, it might actually be one of the biggest surprises. I didn’t expect too much going into Dispatch, but not only does it continue the legacy of Telltale games, but it might also be my favourite entry since Wolf Among Us.

When it was first announced, I was incredibly excited for Arc Raiders; a brand-new third-person cooperative experience set in a retro-futuristic world where groups of players team up to take down giant robots. Think in the same vein as Helldivers 2, before it was even announced. However, after a long absence, it was re-revealed, not as a cooperative game, but as a PvPvE extraction shooter, similar to Escape from Tarkov or Hunt: Showdown. It was a devastating blow that felt like it was taking ...
I’ve been hooked on the Battlefield franchise as a whole, playing just about every major release, ever since the release of the then-revolutionary Battlefield 3. It was all thanks to its its excellent squad-based gameplay, which did strike a sweet spot between grounded and arcadey playstyles in huge battles. However, it hasn’t been perfect, and the series has had some rough moves leading up to the mess that is Battlefield 2042, a mostly competent shooter that forgot what franchise it belo...
I love it when newer horror games really delve into the genre’s past, bringing modern improvements and taking the more hardcore design philosophy that really defined the genre. Games like Signalis, Crow Country or even the original Tormented Souls really brought their own twist to what was once a perceiving stale genre. The past couple of months as a whole have been an excellent year for horror games, with Chronos: The New Dawn and Silent Hill f joining together for two back-to-back bangers...
The Silent Hill franchise has had a tough time with the cancellation of Hideo Kojima’s PT and the last main entry released thirteen years ago, with Silent Hill Downpour. However, in the past few years, we’ve seen a resurgence (other than Ascension), with The Short Message being a surprisingly solid entry in the franchise. Bloober Team is starting its redemption arc with the fantastic Silent Hill 2 Remake, which not only retells one of gaming’s most iconic stories, but also somehow manag...
Bloober Team is one of those studios that got off to an incredibly rough start. Their initial batch of titles, such as Layers of Fear, oozed pretentiousness whilst lacking in horror and payoff, and to be honest, I was hugely worried about the Silent Hill 2 Remake once Bloober Team was announced to be the ones working on it. However, it turned out to be one of my favourite games of the last year, a fantastic remake that not only lives up to the legacy of the original game but also improves on ...
For the uninitiated, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is a stealth adventure that originally released on PlayStation 2 way back in 2004, with a heavy emphasis on storytelling and cinematic cutscenes. Since then, it has had countless re-releases, including Substance, which made drastic improvements on the base game. Metal Gear Solid Delta is arguably the biggest re-release of the game so far and the first “new” (if you can even call it that) entry in the series since the mixed bag that was ...
