Alone in the Dark’s influence on the industry has been pretty large, very much pioneering the survival horror and allowing games like Resident Evil to exist. Unfortunately, though it’s a game that has struggled over the years. 2008’s ridiculously ambitious soft reboot “Inferno” could have been a great return, but...
Devolver Digital has been on a bit of a roll over the past few years. Games like the thought-provoking Talos Principle 2 and the addictive roguelike Cult of the Lamb have been phenomenal successes that have become some of our favourites. They are also undoubtedly not afraid to release some...
The stealth genre is one of my favourites. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of sneaking around someplace you don’t belong, completely ghosting and taking out. Games like Hitman 3 have become one of my favourites in recent years. While the mostly solid Metal Gear Solid Master Collection brings back...
A dimly lit room, a shotgun, a table, and a dealer sitting at the other end of the table. Sometimes, that’s all a game needs to capture your attention. Buckshot Roulette is a web game that went viral a few months back, gathering the attention of some of the largest...
For the past month one game (at least one that isn’t called Final Fantasy XIV) has been dominating my time. Helldivers 2 is a game that I was following before launch, but had no idea how successful it would eventually become. I know it’s early to say that in the...
The first quarter of 2024 has been an absolutely stacked time for gaming. Within the first two months we’ve had Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Persona 3, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth as three absolutely massive JRPGs, alongside gems like Helldivers 2, Last Epoch, and Palworld that have also been...
Way back in 2013 (yes, more than a decade ago) Ubisoft announced Skull and Bones, an open world pirate simulator that had a lot of people excited. However, nobody expected to wait for for such a long time. We get that AAA game development is long and arduous, but this...
Phantom Abyss
There’s something about first-person platformer games that get me excited. Ghostrunner (and its superb sequel), as well as Neon White, are some of my favourite games of the past few years. They’re exciting games that do something wholly unique and interesting to create some memorable experience. Phantom Abyss is the...
The Silent Hill franchise has been in very rough spot in recent years. The past ten years have been pretty…. silent. Hideo Kojima’s cancelled Silent Hill project was torn away from us before we knew what to expect, using some elements of that including the casting of Norman Reedus to...
Momodora is a cult classic metroidvania title that has been running for fourteen years now. I’m somewhat new to the series, having only played the fourth entry: Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. Now with five different entries, Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is the sendoff for the series. One that intends to...
The Finals
The current state of PvP shooters is pretty underwhelming. Whilst games like Counter-Strike 2 and Halo Infinite are genuinely exciting, they also don’t bring anything new to the table. Instead, every game wants to break into that battle royale or extraction shooter gameplay loop. There’s very little experimentation or attempts...
The recent retro horror trend has been one of my favourites recently. I love when developers go back to the old days of the genre and take some of their most engaging elements, whilst putting modern spins on them. Last year’s Signalis was my personal favourite game of that year,...
