When Days Gone originally launched on PS4 back in 2019, I was among those who found it hard to connect with Bend Studio’s vision. After spending roughly three hours riding through Oregon’s post-apocalyptic wilderness, I walked away disappointed. The dull mission design, weak storytelling, and overwhelming technical issues made the journey with Deacon St. John […]
The reboot of Doom from 2016 is still somewhat of a miracle. After Doom 3 steered too far away from the series’ roots, fans were desperate for a classic Doom experience. While Doom 3 was a great game on its own, it wasn’t really a ‘Doom game’. Narrow, dark corridors with slow, horror-focused gameplay weren’t […]
It’s easy to feel a bit jaded about the video game industry these days. From mass layoffs to AAA games with bloated budgets and decade-long development cycles, is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Black Ops 6 revitalizes the Call of Duty franchise with an explosive campaign, nostalgic Zombies mode, and modern multiplayer innovations.
Dragon Age The Veilguard is a difficult game to review in isolation. That’s because it doesn’t exist in isolation. As part of the Dragon Age series, known for its immersive world, branching stories, and rich lore, Dragon Age The Veilguard has much to live up to. Following the release of Dragon Age The Inquisition in […]
The release of Alan Wake 2 remains an anomaly in the modern gaming industry. It’s a sequel to a single-player horror game released in 2010 and contains no microtransactions, battle passes, or excessive monetisation mechanisms.

The Until Dawn PS5 Remake upgrades visuals, sound, and DualSense features, making every choice on Blackwood Mountain crucial for survival.
Team Silent’s work on the first four Silent Hill games is nothing short of legendary.
