Resident Evil 2 The Board Game Review

Designed by Mat Hart, Richard Loxam, and Sherwin Matthews and published by Steamforged Games. Resident Evil 2 The Board Game is a cooperative board game based on the popular video game of the same game. It was released in 2019. Let's hope the dice are in our favour in this Resident Evil 2 The Board Game review. Resident Evil 2 The Board Game - They're Coming To Get You Claire Resident Evil has been embedded into video gamers' brains since 1997 and survival horror games took the world by storm. The franchise has gone through many changes over the years and it even created its own little universe with tons of spin-offs. It wasn't long before there was an abundance of merchandise. From action figures to card deck-building games and even clothing. One of the popular fan requests over the ...

Chernobylite PS5 Review

Originally released for consoles in September 2021, Chernobylite has been given a massive upgrade for next-gen consoles and PC. Polish developer The Farm 51 included this as a free upgrade for those who had purchased it previously on Playstation 4, PC and Xbox One. You can see what Gareth thought about the Xbox One version here There Was Nothing Sane About Chernobyl Gameplay Chernobylite tells the story of the disaster at the Chernobyl Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat, which occurred 30 years earlier. During the play, actors assume the role of Igor Khymynuk, who worked at a power plant alongside his now-missing fiancée Tatyana. Researchers discovered a new material, which they named Chernobylite, following the disaster. According to reports, these crystals seem to be behind th...

35MM Review

35MM is a single-player horror game taking place in a present-day version of Russia after a virus has killed the majority of the population. The title 35MM refers to the camera that Petrovich, our protagonist carries throughout the game. It is developed and published by Russian indie video game company Сергей Носков who also made The Light. Originally released on Steam in 2016, its narrative on life after a pandemic is especially apt today. I based my review on the PS4 version where 35MM is available now as well as Xbox One & Nintendo Switch. Seeing the world through this 35MM lens is a bleak picture I was very interested in 35MM as a game made and set in Russia to see the approach taken to the popular genre. I and the TC team are curious to hear what you think of the game so ...

Can we keep our sanity in check in this Sally Face review? Sally Face - Don't Believe Everything You See Indie video games have been around since the early days of gaming.

Expedition Zero Review

Expedition Zero hit digital shelves at the end of March. This new survival horror game by Enigmatic Machines and publishing by tinyBuild (Hello Neighbor, Graveyard Keeper) will keep you on the edge of your seat. You can find it now on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. Yes, I was Afraid in Expedition Zero Over the years I've played only a few survival horror games. Some were more suspenseful than scary. Others, though, were downright terrifying. Like keep your lights on while you sleep scary. In comparison, I would have to say that Expedition Zero falls somewhere in the middle. I felt at times like just the thought of something popping out and scaring me was actually more scary than anything else. But I suppose that is the point. What about you, reader? What horror game in your librar...

Ghostwire: Tokyo Review

Ghostwire: Tokyo is the new action-adventure from Developer Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks Releasing as a 1 year timed exclusive on Playstation 5 and PC. Ghostwire: Tokyo - Hauntingly Beautiful Originally announced at E3 in June 2019, it caught my attention. Now that I've recovered from my reaction to Avengers EndGame, I can move like Doctor Strange! At least, that was my first reaction. It was not until Microsoft acquired Bethesda in September 2021, that Ghostwire: Tokyo was confirmed to be a timed console exclusive expected to arrive in 2022. This is when that reaction to the game was one of intrigue and a desire to get hands-on with it. That time has arrived and I am on the Playstation 5. Gameplay This first-person action-adventure sees you battle agai...

Paper Dolls 2 Review

Chinese first-person horror adventure Paper Dolls 2 is out now on consoles. Waking up in the aboding Yin Mansion, your goal is to uncover what happened to the famous Yin family. Paper Doll 2 - Twist and Turns Await I enjoy the horror adventure genre and I was hopeful that Paper Dolls 2 on the PS5 by developers Beijing Litchi Culture Media Co would bring some jumps and scares to the year. Gameplay Having made the move from VR in the original, the sequel has aimed for a wider audience. The game starts at the base of a set of stairs, without any explanation or goal. This pushes towards a heavy aspect of the first-person puzzle. Who you are, what are you looking for and how does everything link together? Aside from the dark and mysterious mansion, there is a sprinkling of horror in ...

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm Review

Happy's Humble Burger Farm, you would be forgiven just going by the title that this was a game similar to Team 17's smash title Overcooked. Do You Want Fries With That? However other than the cooking, it is where the similarities end. A stressful horror game that places you in the world of a quick time service restaurant. Scythe Dev Team has taken all the horror that only those who have worked in that industry will truly appreciate and dialled it up to 11. Released December 3rd for Playstation and Xbox consoles alongside a PC release. Happy's Humble Burger Farm was on my list of games to play as it kind of reminded me of Five Nights at Freddys. Gameplay Congratulations you've been hired to run the night shift of your local Happy's Humble Burger Farm restaurant. This first-perso...
