Rely On Horror
HomepageMonstrum is a great example of how simple ideas can be so effective. It's a tense horror game, it's just a shame there are framerate issues.
Amnesia: Rebirth is a confused game with big ambitions and some great elements but is unable to pull everything together.
Remothered: Broken Porcelain released with a few bugs and some interesting quirks, but nevertheless rises to the occasion.
D3 Publisher has finally released OneeChanbara Origin in the West with a new PC version. We take a look and what's new and how it holds up.
Othercide is the most time I've spent on a video game review in a few years. They've got my number.
AWE comes right out of the gate swinging and proves to be just as satisfying and engaging as its predecessor, albeit in different ways.
Overall, Dread X 2 brings together a diverse array of developers, just as the first collection did, but by bringing in more developers and more games, this resulted in more of them feeling lackluster or under-developed. This follow-up lacks the impact that Dread X 1 had, but still stands as a solid package on its own, ending up as a worthy follow-up to the first collection, but with a bigger gap in quality and memorability between some of the titles.
A lot of developers fail to emulate the classic survival horror experiences that many of us grew up loving. Lost in Vivo from independent developer KIRA is not one of those cases.
Does the the disturbing "reverse horror" of Phobia Games Studio's Carrion live up to the concept, or does it miss the mark?
We may still have a few heavy hitters of horror dropping later this year, but as of now, Maid of Sker remains at the top of 2020 for me, and hopefully, others will feel the same after spending some time with it.
