Helios Hotel: The Night Shift Early Impressions

“Helios Hotel: The Night Shift” settles over the player like a damp, chilling fog, a deliberate descent into a carefully constructed atmosphere of dread. From the moment Rose steps behind the reception desk, the game makes it clear that this isn’t just another night shift. The air is thick with unease, a tangible presence that permeates every dimly lit hallway and empty room. The developers have clearly drawn inspiration from the masters of cinematic horror, evoking the claustrophobic tension of…

There’s a Lot of Pressure on Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Has there ever been a game with so much pressure on it as Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Ubisoft need it to be a hit, and the difference it could make if its flops is gigantic. Not that there would be any kind of surprise in it doing well. This isn’t a Starfield level gamble, where you have an unproven IP and a sudden exclusivity. This is Assassin’s Creed, and while it doesn’t always burn up the forum inches in hardcore spaces,…

Sancticide Early Access Impressions

Sancticide arrived on PC in Early Access, presenting a compellingly dark vision of a biblical apocalypse, but with the expected rough edges of an unfinished product. It’s a game that promises a potent blend of intense melee combat and roguelite progression, but whether it fully delivers on that promise at this stage is a complex question. The unique, twisted setting serves as a backdrop to the tale of Ezechiel – a fresh recruit to the Sin Collector Corps, haunted by…

State of Play More Interesting Than Impressive

Sony’s State of Play has come and gone, and that’s about as exciting as it gets. There were games. What more is there to say? I’m not going to be overly negative about it. There were a few things that piqued my interest. Warriors Abyss looks like a great time. Darwin’s Paradox – Metal Gear Octopus – is the stealth game I didn’t know I wanted. I loved the vibe of the next Onimusha game, and it’s leapt up my…

Three Things Needed from the PlayStation State of Play

There’s a PlayStation State of Play tomorrow, giving us a look at some of the games coming in the next year or so. Lucky for Sony, we’re all pretty easy to please. There’s not much I want, especially not this side of Christmas. I don’t expect Shenmue III, The Last Guardian and a Final Fantasy VII remake all in one show. I just want it to be solid. Is that too much to ask? It hasn’t always been obvious, for…

Red Dead 2 Sold 70m – Why Was It Abandoned?

One of my favourite times of the year is when Take-Two updates sales figures for Rockstar Games. GTA5 has sold to 210m people and Red Dead Redemption 2 is a relative flop at only 70m. Yes, a mere 70m copies. So why does it feel like it was abandoned? Don’t get me wrong, nobody is going to complain about the amount of content in that game. It’s a colossal world with systems upon systems, and we’re still discovering new things…

We Played the GTA 4 Vice City Remake

Modders released a full remake of Vice City in Grand Theft Auto IV. It might just be one of the biggest labours of love in gaming, so of course Rockstar tried to shut it down. Within about 30 seconds of installation, you’ll know why. There’s something amusing about s company as large and respected as Rockstar (or parent coming Take-Two) feeling threatened by a few of their fans. But after showing the project on YouTube, the Vice City NextGen Edition…

Want to Test Your PC? Try Sonic Adventure RTX

I’ve never been a man who needs much of an excuse to replay Sonic Adventure, but here’s a good one anyway. The Dreamcast classic has RTX Remix support – and it’ll test your PC like a near 30-year-old game never should. I’ve played around with it a little bit, and I’m impressed by what the pathtracing I’ve seen. This is an absolutely new way of seeing the game. Some parts work better than others. Mystic Ruins, for instance, is much-improved…
