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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hell is Us combines elements of traditional action gameplay with a more experimental, old-school approach to exploration and puzzle-solving, one that trusts the player to figure things out. We have a lot of games now that are a mile wide but lack in depth. Hell is Us provides the opposite...

The Mafia franchise has had a rough journey. Whilst the first two were great games, they sadly underperformed in sales and unfortunately, Mafia III was a bit of a misstep for the franchise. Whilst maintaining a solid enough story and characters, its  gameplay suffered from repetitive open-world bloat and enough...

I’ve been craving for more stealth games ever since the demise of Mimimi Games (the makers of Desperados III and Shadow Gambit) back in 2023. I had set my sights on Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream a while back, and after playing a short demo, boy, was I hooked and waiting...

Hideo Kojima’s 2019 game Death Stranding is arguably one of the most divisive games in recent years. A game that bucked AAA trends and delivered something truly unique, and something that wasn’t for everyone at the same time. Some at WayTooManyGames absolutely loved the game (mostly just me), whilst others are...

It’s been eleven years at this point, and I feel we are still living in the shadows of Hideo Kojima’s P.T., the playable teaser for the infamously cancelled Silent Hills. While Konami has managed to revive that franchise with a remake of the best entry, as well as The Short...

Initially developed by Irrational Games, which would then go on to create the mostly excellent, Bioshock franchise, System Shock 2 is known as one of the most revolutionary games of all time. Still, its relatively cult following and inaccessible nature for many players (especially on console) means that a lot...
