Did y’all know Archie Comics has a horror line? The company has been steadily delivering on their love of horror with titles like the zombie-filled Afterlife with Archie, the vampire slayer driven Vampironica, and the gory werewolf tale Jughead: The Hunger. Archie Horror manages to bring back the feeling of classic comics like Tales from […]

When the original Layers of Fear was released back in 2016, the survival-horror genre was in a dire position. Sure you had games like Amnesia and Outlast carrying the torch of horror in the indie scene, but you saw most publishers shy away from the genre as a whole in a post Resident Evil 6 […]

Puppet Combo’s games have been a hot topic of discussion lately in the horror gaming community. Some people view them as paper-thin mechanically with not much beyond the PS1 aesthetics. Others view the games as the future of horror gaming, providing players with authentically terrifying scares. Regardless of how you feel, there’s really no harm […]

I’m a huge fan of the slasher genre. Out of every sub category in the wide horror genre, the slasher appeals to me the most. There’s just something thrilling about watching characters attempt to survive a monster in a mask that wants to butcher them to bits. Despite it being one of the most successful […]

I’ve always been fascinated with the popularity of the Amnesia franchise. The first game came out in an era where survival horror was pretty much dead. It soon caught on with YouTubers and let’s-players overreacting to its unique flavor of horror. Like it or not, it kept the torch of survival horror lit during an […]

There are certain expectations that come with a new Diablo game. Even though the series has been running since 1997, we’re only now receiving the fourth installment in the form of Diablo IV. The last mainline installment was Diablo III in 2012 and Diablo II before that in the year 2000. Suffice to say that […]

I love games as a medium. Especially horror games. Horror is usually the genre where developers have the most freedom to go buckwild with ideas even if they don’t always pan out as well as you hope. That’s what intrigues me most about No One Lives Under the Lighthouse. On the surface level, it’s a […]

Arkane Studios are perhaps most known for their takes on the Immersive-Sim genre. First-person games where the player is usually given a large toolset and environment to allow them to come up with multiple solutions for particular problems and goals. Dishonored honored the legacy of games like Thief, Prey played as if it was a […]

Back in 2019, one of the biggest gaming surprises of the year was Jedi: Fallen Order. The third-person action game from first-person shooter studio Respawn Entertainment was a glorious hybrid of the brutal combat of Dark Souls with the scale of an Uncharted game. Fallen Order did all of this while telling a fascinating story […]

Bloody Disgusting’s Dead Island 2 review is spoiler-free. When the first Dead Island released all the way back in 2011 (yes it’s been that long), publisher Deep Silver and original developer Techland delivered a satisfying take on the zombie genre with an open map to explore, characters to upgrade, and wild weapons to customize. Now […]

So Diablo IV had its open beta a few weeks ago. Like many other folks, I decided to partake in the slaughter of the hordes of hell and walked away with some thoughts. It’s been a while since we’ve gotten a proper Diablo release. The disappointing mobile game Immortal released last year and Diablo III […]

I’ve been a fan of Infernax since it was released in early 2022. While I’m not quite old enough to remember games such as Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest or Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, I have a lot of respect for them for how ambitious they were despite how limited gaming hardware was at […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, chances are you’ve heard about the numerous Silent Hill projects headed our way, including a new movie from Christophe Gans. It’s a resurrection of sorts for a long-dormant series that hasn’t had a full scale entry since 2012 (yeah, you read that right). Sure we had P.T. in […]

Marvel is obviously dominating the pop culture landscape, for better or worse. Movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever rule at the box office, while shows such as She-Hulk: Attorney at Law motivate audiences to log into their Disney+ accounts. It’s not hard to see the grip Marvel has on […]

Bloober Team made waves when the original Layers of Fear came out in 2016. The psychological horror game was released right at the start of the Survival Horror renaissance and presented players with a deeply haunting tale about a painter driven to madness as he attempts to create his “masterpiece.” Wildly successful at the time, […]
