GYLT
Gylt, a Stadia (RIP) exclusive upon release, is a stealth game in a similar vein to Alan Wake. You play as a little girl trying to save her cousin Emily from monsters in a strange town, and you don't know where you are on top of all this. You slowly

Dementium Remastered
Dementium is one of the saddest stories on the DS. There are very few horror games on the system, and Dementium was a hyped-up train wreck all the way to release. Renegade Kid originally pitched Dementium as a Silent Hill game on the DS. They went to Konami to show

The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation
Another independent horror game featuring a convoluted narrative and characters we find uninteresting. I keep giving these games chances, and while a lot of them nail their main monster and atmosphere, almost none can bring home a good story or good characters. This game is based on Taiwanese mythology and

Alone in the Dark (2024)
The series Alone in the Dark appears to have a perpetual curse. While the earliest 3D titles, such as The New Nightmare, received fairly positive scores, these last two reboots just can't seem to get things right. I'll grant the 2008 reboot some leeway, as it attempted to innovate and

DreadOut
I turn to indie horror games for my fix because AAA horror titles just aren't much of a thing anymore. Back in the day when we got regular Silent Hill releases and games like The Suffering, Obscure, Haunting Ground, and Resident Evil, there were more than you could count. Today,

A Mortician's Tale
I understand everyone wants to praise indie games. I get it, I really do. It’s a middle finger to the corporate world and developers can explore interesting new ideas without the weight of a watchful eye. A Mortician’s Tale kind of explores this exact idea, but with a funeral home.

Chasing Dead
As if zombie games weren’t already in abundance, we get yet another crappy indie zombie first person shooter. This game caught my eye due to the live action cut scenes and the screenshots looked decent, but man I was wrong. Not only is the story and the main character, Jack,

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Walking simulators are something I really enjoy as they can focus mostly on the story, characters, and atmosphere. Sadly, it's also a big gamble as sometimes the story can be great, but the gameplay is awful or the story is awesome, but the ending sucks and pretty much makes the

Dread X Collection 5
xperiences and put it all together in some weird hub. Each game is completely different and offers brand new experiences, but I'm starting to see that the series is running out of ideas. The main hub this time around is a kids birthday center called Outpost 3000. It's space- and

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns
The idea of DLC for Mortal Kombat was an exciting prospect when it started with Mortal Kombat (2011). You paid $5 for a new character, and this felt fine. Mortal Kombat X introduced the character pass system, which was also well liked. You paid $20 for four new characters that
