The Fatal Frame (also known as Project Zero or simply Zero) franchise has always been a cult classic horror series. One that manages to terrify and deliver excellent stories, yet it’s one that has stayed relatively under the radar, not really achieving the same level of appeal that games like...
It’s been a whopping thirty years since the release of the first Resident Evil game, as well as its impact taking survival horror to the next level. The franchise has, admittedly, had its fair share of ups and downs over the past few decades, but it’s still a series I’ve...

The first two Little Nightmares games were something special. They were a unique concept that built on the ideas Limbo established for creating memorable horror experiences. Little Nightmares II took that to the extreme and perfected it- an instant classic and truly special experience, combining thrilling gameplay with a compelling...

Hero shooters, the marmite of the gaming world. Some people love them, some people hate them. It’s a divisive genre that has struggled to escape from the shadow of Overwatch for around ten years now. A game itself that has struggled to stay relevant. There’s been some solid efforts, and...

The Game Bakers are one of those indie developers that I will always look forward to what’s coming next from them. It all started off in 2016 with the fantastic “1-Hit Kill Boss Rush” game Furi, which was tough, stylish and unique at the time. Since then, every game The...

If there’s one thing I’ve always wanted is a brand-new Dino Crisis game in the same vein as the Resident Evil remakes. A highly polished and terrifying horror experience that will take the cult classic franchise and bring it into the new era. Code Violet, from the same team behind...
If there was a game we all thought it would be a massive flop and disappointment this year, that game was Assassin’s Creed Shadows. A clear case of Ubisoft taking too long to deliver what people had been clamoring for more than a literal freaking decade, the long-awaited “Assassin’s Creed...
The wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong has been an excruciating one. Since the 2017 Metroidvania masterpiece Hollow Knight, the community had been clamouring for more. And in 2019, Silksong was finally announced, but nobody expected the long wait. Years of teasing with gameplays followed by extended lengths of silence, it...

The use of generative AI in the gaming industry has increased dramatically over the past year, with major AAA games like Call of Duty and Fortnite experimenting with it to see how far they can push the boundaries. Unfortunately, they cross the line from human creativity into soulless art in...
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...
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...
