A disappointing co-op experiment for this spooky series - The Outlast Trials Quick First Impressions

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? I strongly recommend skipping The Outlast Trials for now, unless you have a group of three other friends who all love the previous Outlast games and who are all available to play together at the same time. The Outlast Trials is a bold experiment for developer Red Barrels, taking the basic elements of its stealth horror franchise and adding co-op and live service elements for the first time. Unfortunately, that experiment is a failure, at least in its current state.

Your next trip to Hell just got postponed - Hellboy: Web of Wyrd now releasing October 18

We're pretty stoked for the upcoming new Hellboy game, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd. I mean, just look at this thing in action in the trailer above. It looks like the pages of Hellboy artist Mike Mignola's artwork come to life. If they can pull it off and make it fun, it's going to be killer. Unfortunately, though, we got news today that we'll have to wait just a little bit longer to find out whether they pulled it off or not. Originally planned to launch on October 4, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd has been pushed back two weeks to an October 18 release.

PAPER LILY CHAPTER 1 - YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!

Game: Paper Lily: Chapter 1 Platform: PC Genre: Free to Play, Psychological Horror, Adventure, 2D Overview I believe many are hesitant to try new games, particularly those that look and feel like games they have grown to dislike, such as most RPGmaker games, which are better described as games with little attention to detail or charm, using the same assets and boring generic characters regardless of the story behind them most of the time. I've seen several people say that this is an

An alien invasion that falls flat faster than M. Night Shyamalan - Greyhill Incident Quick Review

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.

Trapped in a Bunker...with a Other wordly creature!!

Summary: Left alone in a desolate WW1 bunker with only one bullet remaining in the barrel, it's up to you to face the oppressing terrors in the dark. Keep the lights on at all costs, persevere, and make your way out alive—a genuinely intense horror experience. Verdict: Amnesia the Bunker is different from your average game out of the series. This time you can fight back, but watch your ammo. The light is your advantage, but it can come at a price if you aren't watching your stopwatch.

Insanity as an art - Signalis Review

In the endless sea of modern gaming, you sometimes find yourself looking for hidden gems that get usually ignored. This was my case when I was looking through the Xbox gamepass catalogue for some new games to try. There, I see Signalis, a survival-horror video game made by rose-engine and the journey unfolds.... I am generally not a fan of horror genre... or should I say the interpretation of "horror" in mainstream media but there are some things that stand out from the crowd, the

El Paso, Elsewhere is like Max Payne mixed with Blade, and it’s must-play for shooter fans

SHOULD I PLAY EL PASO, ELSEWHERE Uh, yeah, this game absolutely rules. El Paso, Elsewhere blends the intense shooting and slow-mo powers of Max Payne with the supernatural vampire drama of something like Blade or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That mixture pays off with an action-packed adventure through the underworld and a noir-tinged story that had me rolling with laughter but still managed to have some emotional depth as well. It’s one of my surprise favorites of 2023.

A horror game made in MS Paint? World of Horror is a love letter to Junji Ito and 80s PC games

Weird horror game Garten of Banban 3 has become a YouTube sensation - but is it any good?

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Wow, this is way harder to answer than it usually is. I would say skip Garten of Banban 3 if you’re looking for what might traditionally be called a “good” game. But on the other hand, if you’re looking for something almost inexplicably weird—like just so strange that you almost can’t help but enjoy it—then it might just be worth playing. As with previous entries in the series,

Heaven Dust 2: Striking Similarity to the Original

In 2020, the video game "Heaven Dust" boldly posed the inquiry, "What would happen if "Resident Evil 1" were presented with a top-down camera perspective?" The resultant offering manifested as a proficient action-adventure, notably more accessible than its muse due to the perpetual visibility of zombies. Presently, the emergence of "Heaven Dust 2" initiates a subsequent query—"What if the "Heaven Dust" narrative unfolded within a more expansive mansion?" Consequently, this sequel lacks the endearing qualities found in its forerunner. "Heaven Dust 2" unfolds in the aftermath of its predecessor, with the protagonist, Steve, awakening from the cryo pod wherein he had been confined after an abduction by corporate operatives. He discovers himself within another mansion besieged by rampant zombies. Regrettably, those anticipating a setting akin to a city immersed in a zombocalypse reminiscent of "Resident Evil 2" will likely find themselves disillusioned by the sequel's thematic choice.

📖 Storyline: The story is overall really good but I don't want to explain much about it because everyone already knows. Cons: They don't have a full screen and the controls are a bit annoying and they need more DLCs and a sequel on mobile. 👍 Pros: The graphics match extremely well with the original one on PC and it's overall decently scary especially when playing in the dark on the janitor and the singing girl levels.🎮 Gameplay: the gameplay is surprisingly smooth and well made on mobile, it's very fun.

Microsoft's biggest first-party failure yet - Redfall review

Last week, I shared a rundown of some of the problems gamers and critics were having with Redfall, the new vampire-focused, co-op looter shooter from Arkane Studios. At the time I was around seven hours into the game, and while some of the issues being raised were obviously legitimate, I was still surprised to be enjoying myself and had some hope that maybe I would like it more than the average on the whole.

This horror game set on Mars is giving me Alien vibes in the best way

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

Lovecraft plus Metroidvania should be a killer combo, but this game has some big problems

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.

Are you afraid of the dark? Little Nightmares is on mobile, and it's incredibly creepy

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.

MOUTHWASHING - A GENUINELY GREAT HORROR STORY

It's that time of the year again, when we start to get a taste of horror from many different angles. Sometimes all you need is a simple concept, reminiscent of the age when Horror was at it's peak in gameplay design and execution during the Playstation 1 rise. Mouthwashing is a lot of things... It's short, atmospheric, exhilarating, and highly captivating in terms of drawing you closer to each character while simultaneously making you feel detached from them in unexpected ways.

The most original horror game I’ve played in ages - Killer Frequency Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re even the slightest fan of horror games. Killer Frequency is an incredibly unique first-person horror game where you take on the role of a small-town night-shift radio DJ. There’s just one twist: A killer is stalking the town during your shift, and all of the town’s 911 calls are being routed through to your station. This means a lot of the “action” is just standing behind a desk, picking which tunes to play and trying to keep innocent people alive with your words alone. Don’t let the limited setting fool you, though; this is a deeply creative game that kept surprising me with new challenges.

PSYCHOPOMP GOLD — IT ISN'T A SEQUEL SADLY

If you love it, support it. I didn't like it very much cause I was expecting something that wasn't just a slightly remastered version of the original. I'll still support the dev, I still like what the original had to offer and the rest of the content that was added in is sure to appeal to the die hard fans, but this wasn't for me and I don't think it would be for most people, who want more than the free version offers.

A GAME YOU REFUSE TO PLAY AGAIN FOR AN ODD REASON?

At some point, there has been at least one game that you have come to the conclusion that you didn't wish to play any longer for a reason. Even if the game in question was one that you enjoyed playing for extended periods of time throughout various years, one day it all came to an end with you never playing it again. Story Childhood It was the year 2004, three years after the Nintendo Gamecube had been released. By this point, the majority of gamers around the world had already moved on to the more exciting consoles that were available since Nintendo to most felt more childlike, especially the the disappointment from the release of
