Late January 2021 saw the release of a very important piece of horror entertainment; a juicy demo for the upcoming Resident Evil: Village. This was arguably the first piece of software to truly feel like a proper showcase of what the next generation of consoles is capable of. Sadly, the demo is currently only available to owners of a PlayStation 5, a console as rare as a unicorn. If you’re still i...

There are two Silver Chains. The atmospheric, pre-monster Silver Chains draws you in with intrigue and great visuals. The post-monster Silver Chains is a silent scavenger hunt in the dark occasionally interrupted by a spooky monster. It's not bad, but it's not for genre fans either.

Gorgeous graphics and excellent sound design don't make up for a lack of gameplay and an extremely short playtime.

Silver Chains crawls towards a close with an essence of panic. A strange game of ring and ring roses sees the credits roll with the plot just sort of ending. Nothing is truly revealed, no grand twist of point of curiosity, just an ending that gets the job done. At the end of the day, that’s exactly what Silver Chains ultimately feels like, just getting the job done. A combination of uninspired puz...
