There's a pleasing physicality in VR as you wipe condensation from your gas mask, or furiously hand crank your little generator
Does a good job of making the series feel relevant in a way it hasn't for years.
This is a great, if short, horror game with impeccable looks and fantastic atmosphere. It's scary and full of character, but with a barely five-hour run time your enjoyment could depend on what you paid for it.
Filled with great puzzles and an engaging world, Crow Country is a well made recreation of how you remember classic 90s horror games. It's familiar enough to feel authentic but different enough to keep things mysterious.
A lackluster and fragmented game that never really comes together in any meaningful way. In almost every sense that matters, from story to combat, horror, and atmosphere, Alone in the Dark leaves much to be desired.
No matter how careful you are, it only takes the slightest thing to bring everything crashing down.
Silent Hill: The Short Message is an interesting, if not amazing rebirth for the series that proves it can be reanimated for a modern audience. Atmospheric and full of potential it bodes well for future instalments.
A decent, if unspectacular take, on an alien Far Cry that uses its source material well to create an engaging world to explore.
With this kind of freedom 'avoiding the main mission' is the main mission.
An oddly pitched remake that has its moments but adds very little to the original beyond a visual upgrade
Enjoying Dead Island 2 requires you to accept it's 95% hitting zombies with sticks – and the remaining 5% is choosing the stick
The combat, while generally excellent, does also have some occasional irritations
"There's a lot of weirdness in the world that just begs for more investigation"
A fantastic looking game that builds a great sci-fi world only to trash it with an unenjoyable combat challenge.
A beautiful world filled with things to discover, and a fitting close for Kratos' viking adventure that only misses full marks thanks to a light touch opening half that takes a while to hit its stride.
A fun but poorly paced horror adventure that's both slow to start and over too fast
An entertaining and silly mix of fantasy and shooting, with a great cast making up for a slight lack of variety.
Dying Light 2 offers a great open world playground for zombie survival, but lacks an impactful story or meaningful choices.
A solid installment for the series with a satisfying story and great multiplayer balance.
A strong start and okay finish makes this average out as decent but not amazing installment.
