We sure hope that the wait for Episode 3 doesn't take another eight months. While Episode 2 doesn't quite hit all the targets, the mature and creepy story already has its hooks in us.

We're still excited to see how everything will unfold in this five episode series, so long as the gameplay musters up more variety.

Play Perception if you're in need of a quick horror fix, and not for what could be perceived as something larger.
Puzzle solutions are always a few short minutes away and long gone are the genre's nonsensical conundrums that have plagued gamers for years.

The most distinctive change on PS4 and Xbox One is the bump up in frame rate for better performance
Time Recoil really boils down to a simple process: kill, kill some more, slow things down, blow stuff up, kill again, and exit the level
