PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you’re like me and haven’t touched the Layers of Fear series up to this point. Like a lot of horror-heads, I was extremely worried when I heard the news that the long-rumored Silent Hill 2 remake would be developed by Bloober Team, a Polish developer of smaller indie horror games. It didn’t help that the only Bloober Team game I’d played up to that point was the studio’s

🔴 The weekly recap Check out all the featured new releases. 🎮 A Plague Tale: Requiem Sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence, which sold over one million copies during its first year, A Plague Tale: Requiem is an action-adventure stealth video game. It takes players onto the adventure of Amicia and her brother Hugo. Should you play this game? Check out @Kef's quick review below, or you can watch the gameplay

I hadn't heard much about upcoming horror game Fort Solis until I saw the above trailer, but watch this thing and try not to get hyped. The game takes place on a mysteriously deserted mining base on Mars, and players take on the role of an astronaut named Jake sent to investigate what happened. The trailer leaves it unclear what the actual threat lurking within Fort Solis is, which is great in my opinion. Let me be surprised when I play the actual game! But whatever it is, I'm getting

With the popularity of this year's HBO TV adaptation, The Last of Us is arguably as popular as its ever been. But even popularity can't saved a doomed project. In a blog post today, developer Naughty Dog revealed that the long-in-development The Last of Us Online has been canceled. This project had been in development for several years now and was seen by many as a replacement for the "Factions" multiplayer mode from the original

Life Gallery, a creation by 751 Games, beckons players into a unique puzzle realm with its illustration-style art design, promising a profound horror experience. As we delve into this enigmatic journey, let's uncover the intricacies that make Life Gallery stand out in the gaming landscape. Background: Constructed from a series of over 50 pen-and-ink drawings, Life Gallery weaves a dark and chilling narrative, challenging players to solve puzzles and explore the connections between intriguing characters like the Twins, the Parents, and the mysterious Fish-Head Cult.

SHOULD I PLAY ARTIFACT SEEKER: PROLOGUE? Definitely play this if you’re curious about Artifact Seeker, an upcoming Vampire Survivors-style game that’s about defeating huge hordes of demons and monsters and collecting artifacts and power-ups for your character. There’s a complicated-looking progression system wrapped around the whole thing, but it’s actually still very simple: this is pretty much a Sega Dreamcast version of Vampire Survivors.

For me, it was either Alien: Isolation or Resident Evil: Biohazard. I chose these games because I played them when I was younger. I was able to finish the game with the help of walkthroughs a couple of times. Sometimes the puzzles were a bit too hard for me. They were some of the horror gems in my younger years. There is an alien game called Alien: Blackout, but it’s a payed game. And as far as I know it, there isn’t any games about resident evil for mobile. I still highly recommend these games for anyone who likes horror, wants to get into horror, or someone wanting a good spook. Have a spooky day. 👻

SHOULD I PLAY FORT SOLIS? Fort Solis is absolutely worth playing, as long as you know the type of game you’re getting into. And that is, to be clear, a one hundred percent narrative game. Virtually all of the “gameplay” in Fort Solis is made up of walking around the titular creepy abandoned base on Mars, with a small handful of very simple puzzles and quick time events. That said, if you’re down for a creepy, suspenseful story, this one will get under your skin in all the best ways.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip this one. Unholy starts with an intriguing concept: You play as a mother and devout member of a strange modern-day cult who finally leaves the flock after her son is horrifically sacrificed. It’s a killer hook, but it’s sadly wasted on a game with subpar everything else—writing, voice acting, level design, stealth mechanics, all of it. TIME PLAYED I played around three or four hours of

Nothing beats sitting down to enjoy a classic CRPG narrative story and tactical gameplay, which Skald The Black Priory offers in abundance, beginning with an eldritch nightmare plot that ranks among the most best I've ever played. While the gameplay was fascinating and enjoyable, I couldn't help but wonder if there could have been more physical content once you crossed the Castle's boundary and into the more open and abandoned world as you made your way north.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it unless you’re a superfan of anything inspired by H.P. Lovecraft or you’re dying for a Metroidvania. The Last Case of Benedict Fox follows a demon-possessed detective who has the ability to jump into the memories of the dead. Using these powers, he’s attempting to find out the dark truth behind what happened to his father, a man heavily involved in occult rituals. It’s a great setup, but the experience is quickly dragged down by clunky controls and frustrating level design.

CLICKOLDING Developer: Strange Scaffold Publisher:  Strange Scaffold Released: July 16th, 2024 Price: $2.99 USD As I prepared to load up the recently released CLICKOLDING, I had a fundamental understanding of what it was all about and what I was getting myself into. This is a play on the concept of being or taking part in the act that is commonly referred to as "cuckolding," but the twist is that it is portrayed in this game as the act of clicking.

SHOULD I PLAY LITTLE NIGHTMARES ON MOBILE? Play it, but use a controller if you can. Little Nightmares is a terrific puzzle adventure game, and the mobile version looks fantastic, but the touchscreen controls can be difficult to deal with. Thankfully, the game offers full controller support, so if you’re struggling to push a chair or jump over a large gap, you can switch over to something smoother. Even if you don’t have a controller to play with, this creepy-yet-cozy game is worth a closer look.

I’ve been playing Resident Evil games since the series really hit its stride with 1998’s Resident Evil 2, so when a game comes along that clearly loves and manages to capture what made that series special, it’s automatically on my radar. Based on my time with the demo version of Heaven Dust, it manages to do just that, with a mobile-friendly spin on survival horror that’s clearly deeply in debt to the first

SHOULD I PLAY DREDGE: THE PALE REACH? If you dug the creepy, cozy vibes of Dredge, you’ll definitely want to check out the latest DLC. Dredge: The Pale Reach brings this lovecraftian fishing game to colder waters, adding a brand-new icy area to the game. Whether I was catching fish for a mysterious hooded figure, staring at the northern lights, or trying to avoid a surprisingly terrifying narwhal, this DLC really made

When I was just a young boy, my father would drive me deep into the woods and leave me there overnight with nothing but a gun and a can of beans. The rules were simple, if I survived until the morning I could go to Disneyland with him the next day, but if I ended up getting eaten by the wildlife or the wandering fentanyl addicts then I would forever be considered a loser. This video game helps to capture that feeling from my youth, the raw fear of it is enough to keep your palms sweaty and your heart racing. Sure, in the game you're shooting necrotic demons from some other dimension, but you can't get much closer to a fentanyl ravager than that.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip this one for sure. Greyhill Incident is a first-person horror story that tells a tale of alien invasion in a rural farm community. The setting and many of the set pieces seem heavily inspired Signs, M. Night Shyamalan’s 2002 alien horror flick. But like many of Shyamalan’s worst films, Greyhill Incident suffers from wooden dialogue, questionable acting, and a frustrating, illogical plot that never really seems to go anywhere, among other problems.

It’s no secret that Five Nights at Freddy’s was one of the worst films I had the displeasure of viewing in 2023. It was boring and humorless, and worst of all, there weren’t nearly enough murderous animatronics causing mayhem. However, I’ve always said knowing your audience when it comes to adapted properties is essential. Fans of the series showed up to make it one of the most successful movies of last year.

Horror fans are still eagerly awaiting the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2, but Konami made a surprise reveal today that makes the wait just a little less painful. During today's State of Play stream, Sony played a trailer for Silent Hill: The Short Message, a new free Silent Hill game that will launch of PlayStation 5 later today. Konami describes The Short Message as a "short-form" Silent Hill title that's meant to be the first of a wave of new Silent Hill games to help revive the franchise. Apparently they're not counting

Game: Heaven Dust 2 Platform: PC Genre: Zombies / Survival Horror / Puzzles Released: Jan 6th 2022 Price: $11 🔗Join the Playfest >> https://www.taptap.io/events/playfest2023winter 📅 Schedule Dates: December 23, 12 AM PT - January 7, 11:59 PM PT. Playfest Winners & Player Rewards Announcement: January 8, 12 AM PT. MY TAPTAP CLOUD GAMING EXPERIENCE Abhorrent and extremely irritating. One aspect that set this game apart from others through Cloud Gaming was the user interface's of shooting with a weapon. The weapons serve almost no purpose due to the requirement of aiming with one's finger until it locks onto the creature, which severely restricts movement. Following that, you must release your finger from the target after pressing the gun icon which locks it in place.
