My favourite kind of games are the ones that make you cry... and by cry I mean throw your controller at a wall because I definitely dodged that attack but I'm still somehow dead. Or cry because that jumpscare was just uncalled for and now I need to recover before I can make my way down another scary, dark corridor. I'm as old as the first Tomb Raider and feel like I've been playing games ever since. I'm a Playstation girlie that dabbles in Switch and PC games. Don't ask me about Bloodborne unless you're ready to listen to me ramble on for hours.

FAITH – Nintendo Switch Review

What you are about to do is not approved by the Vatican. FAITH by Airdorf Games launched on PC in 2022 and has finally come to Nintendo Switch. The closest I've ever got to 2D VHS horror is Five Night at Freddy's so this was a whole new horror adventure for me. Before downloading the Switch release of FAITH, I hadn't interacted with the game at all. For this review I am flying blind with only my own gameplay to guide me! I need an old priest and a young priest... and maybe a guide. Gameplay Unfolding through the 1980s 'Satanic Panic', you are Father John Ward, a priest traumatised after a failed exorcism. You follow him through his slow descent into the occult and the supernatural world that surrounds you. FAITH  consists of three chapters, each retelling a significant moment in Fathe...
