Chernobylite: Navigating the Exclusion Zone

Image
Chernobylite takes us on the role of a physicist, an ex-worker at Chernobyl Power Plant. Chernobyl Power Plant which is known as Igor. The man returns to Chernobyl to investigate the fate of his fiancée who disappeared in mysterious circumstances, 30 years ago. Igor is forced to enter Chernobyl's Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to discover answers, only to find that his quest is interrupted by the Black Stalker who kills one of those on his squad which leaves Igor with no option other than to escape by using his portal gun that is powered with the super-spy crystal that is known as the infamous Chernobylite. Chernobylite: A Feast for the Senses Chernobylite's atmosphere is its own character. Farm 51 has skillfully recreated the real-life Chernobyl Exclusion Zone with haunted abandoned buildings and overgrown vegetation; plus radiation levels that remain ever present despite ongoing cleanup operations. Yet I still believe Chernobylite evokes the beauty of an abandoned wasteland that ...

The Outlast Trials Not for the Faint-Hearted

Image
Let's be honest: The Outlast Trials seemed like a recipe for disaster at first. Converting single-player terror of previous Outlast games into the multiplayer format? What the hack is that? It seems q strange idea, anyway... not that used. So, I wasn't sure it could work... But those crazy Canadians at Red Barrels pulled it off brilliantly! I have yet to have another "bad dream." The game is available for all platforms, my review is for the Xbox Series X version (that is not different, as far as I've seen, of the PS5 one). It could be played single-player and multiplayer, and the latter one is something else! A Disturbing Experience Whether Single-Player or Multiplayer Sure, there's the solo experience available here, too - but the game truly shines with multiple friends playing alongside one another. No matter why you  buy The Outlast Trials , to enjoy alone or go through the experience with others, it is worth it! Imagine being thrust into an experimental ...

Exploring Alan Wake 2's Realm: Unveiling Shadows

Image
Immersive Ambiance Alan Wake 2 is an award-winning survival horror that is somewhat iconic, I would say, and quite influential. The abyssal dark and dismal atmosphere masterfully combined with one of the best narratives ever in a video game recommend this video game. Alan Wake 2 delivers an incomparable atmosphere that transcends mere gameplay like a good narrative is supposed to do. It follows you, it moves you, it influence you, and finally pushes you engulfing yourself into an experience in which shadows dance with purpose. The developers carefully designed an ambiance that lures players into this realm where darkness breathes; where suspense becomes art and uncertainty becomes the rule rather than the exception. Compelling Storytelling The narrative's intricate, captivating composition transports players through corridors of suspense and mystery with every twist and turn carefully orchestrated to engage players' sense of wonderment as an active participant of its unfolding ...

The Callisto Protocol - a modern sci-fi survival horror

Image
The Callisto Protocol is a solid third-person survival horror game with amounts of dismemberment that may make your stomach turn with cool sci-fi-themed settings as well as weapons that are completely out of the ordinary. The Callisto Protocol is a game that improves all aspects of the Dead Space while also taking the full benefit of today's gaming equipment. The beginnings of the Callisto Protocol began because of the formation of Striking Distance as a studio in PUBG Corporation (now PUBG Studios) in June 2019, helmed by Glen Schofield, who had previously created with Glen Schofield the Dead Space series at Visceral Games. The studio was founded to extend the PUBG: Battlegrounds universe by making a story-driven game. Fighting  biophages  may feel incredibly weighty, with satisfying swings smashing through bones and cutting off limbs. It is even better once the stun baton has received some upgrades and the fact that the players will always be chasing the enemy to knock them...

Dying Light 2 - better parkour, zombies, and combat

Image
Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a thrilling zombie-apocalypse game offering many hours of fun Dying Light 2 Stay Human is lastly here, which is one of the exciting things that happened recently in the gaming world. Fans of survival-horror and post-apocalyptic open-world games filled with zombies will be thrilled! This is one of the best Xbox Series X action-adventure games set in a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies. The game is created on the shoulders of the previous game of the series. Even if we've waited so long for a follow-up, we are now happy with the result. Dying Light 2 features better combat, better weapons, better HUD, better parkour, better zombie behavior and physics, and more abilities. Dying Light 2 provides really good combat Action and combat are really good, and I will give you an example. Down the road, there's even a paraglider to make rooftops accessible in urban settings with huge building heights that make travel on foot difficult, and by the time...

Best survival horror games - new and old Resident Evil games

Image
Resident Evil games When it comes to survival horror video games, there are a lot of games that are very good and you may remember. But I think there is no one horror fan to not appreciate the games of Resident Evil franchise. These are some of the classic games for a few generations and I would like to present you two games to sustain this idea: Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Village. Resident Evil 2 is an old game, released in 1998 for PlayStation 1. It is probably the best horror game of that period and it won several game awards and revolutionized the genre. In 2019 we were lucky to receive a remake of the game. I will say a few words about it bellow. Resident Evil Village is the latest game of the franchise, recently released, a game made for the latest game consoles' specifications. It is one of the most awaited games of the year. It is the second game that I would like to say a few thoughts. Resident Evil Village has also another game packed together: The Mercenaries. I...

Little Hope is a genuinely great time horror game

Image
Little Hope is the second game of The Dark Pictures Anthology. It is a survival horror game, probably one of the best PS5 horror games every released, certainly the best so far in the franchise's history. It is a strange game with a tense atmosphere, probably a delight for horror game fans. It contains more symbolism than Man of Medan, the first game of the Anthology. It is not quite obvious the symbolism, but it is more effective and has a deeper emotional impact. It is very good how everything comes together in this game. Little Hope has amazing graphics and story Little Hope is a pretty great game to play and will make a lot of people happy as it is a game meant for anybody, not only the fans of the genre. The story will get anyone hooked because it's pretty intriguing. Also the graphics and story are at the same level and work very good together. Jump-scares may work in a first play-through, but overtime they may become predictable and repetitive. The developers seems to h...

The Evil Within 2 - classic survival-horror gameplay

Image
Sebastian Castellanos is back in The Evil Within 2 . If you're at all interested in his and The Evil Within 2's narrative, I highly recommend you play the game. It is tense and captivating and you will be impressed by various aspects of the story, graphics, and narrative. It is rewarding to play the game before watching the movie. In fact, it is better to play it even before you read anything about the story. This way you will appreciate the game for what it is, without comparisons and bias. I would recommend you to buy The Evil Within 2 and give it a try. Many characters return from the previous game and the overall assumption will make much more sense if you are familiar with the first The Evil Within game's narrative. The world formed from STEM is unsettling, menacing, and consuming. It has to be defeated. The expectation for what's about each corner (and you will be sometimes scared) is sufficient to propel you ahead despite the fear of what evils lurk in the shado...

I must say, it is really stunning how great this video game is. The action is located in France throughout the 1300s throughout the time of the bubonic plague. The narrative follows a young woman named Amicia who's thrust into handling the In...

Best less known video games

Image
Sometimes we encounter great games that are less known to the others and we have this urge to let everybody know what a discovery we made. I would like to spend some time on some less known games, but video games with great potential or just fun, because you deserve to play good games. There are ps4 games, as well as xbox games that I have in mind, of various genres. Today I pick out an action adventure video game - A Plague Tale Innocence, and an action survival video game - DayZ. A Plague Tale: Innocence Powerfully ghoulish aside depictions of rats and the plague, Innocence is finally an story of resilience against odds. We were hit by the new Coronavirus, so we will understand better what this video game conveys. It is a nice approach to storytelling and a good occurrence in the xbox games universe. The video game's title is an obvious nod towards the loss of innocence the endearing young cast faces throughout their journey. But it speaks of the debilitating cost of survival...
