We need more games like Elden Ring Nightreign
I didn’t get to talk about it much on last week’s podcast, mainly since we had so much news to get to, but I have been really enjoying the recently released Elden Ring Nightreign! It’s a game that honestly feels tailor made for me. It’s a Souls like, roguelite, coop game I can play with…

You should really play Labyrinth of the Demon King
Have you ever played a game, a recently released game, that you really enjoy but are already worried isn’t going to get the recognition it deserves? That’s how I’m currently feeling with the indie horror game Labyrinth of the Demon King! Released a little over a week ago, Labyrinth of the Demon King is a…

Scratches: Old School Horror
If you’ve been following this blog for a bit, it won’t be much of a surprise when I say a couple of weeks ago I was in the mood to play a horror game! It’s one of my favorite genres after all so I often have at least one horror game in rotation. But this…

Elden Ring: Nightreign – Excitement and Caution
A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to get the chance to play the Elden Ring: Nightreign play test! Which was basically a series of 3 hour long test sessions with FromSoftware’s new game. I had quite the fun time with it if I’m being honest! Even with the first play session being completely…

Darkest Dungeon II: Brutal but Approachable
“New Year, new games” is what I would be saying if there wasn’t a few games from last year I missed out on! Despite 2024 being somewhat of a light year in terms of game releases, I still missed out on a few games I was pretty interested in checking out. And one of those…

Especially since, just like last year when I recommend you play Yakuza for the holiday season, I have yet another joke/not so much of a joke recommendation! This time around you should…

Clock Tower: Rewind – Still a Classic
Okay, so, I know I said we’d take a bit of a break from horror after Spooky Month but I just have to talk a bit about this game as it was honestly quite the surprise for me! For a bit of context, I decided to pick up Clock Tower: Rewind, which is a remaster…

Kuon: FromSoftware’s Forgotten Horror Game
Of the three games I have spoken about this month, I am willing to bet that Kuon is the one that has been heard of the least. It released in 2004 when classic survival horror was kind of dying out. The second half of the PS2’s life cycle definitely saw a decline in classic survival…

Haunting Ground: Hiding and Dog Training Horror
So, before we start talking about Haunting Ground I think we need a little backstory on the game. And it all starts with a game most people are very familiar with called Resident Evil 4! Just like Resident Evil 4, Haunting Ground comes to us from Capcom. You see, despite the fact that RE4 would…

Fatal Frame II: The Best of a Niche Series
So if there’s one game I talk about this month that isn’t very niche it’s probably going to be this one, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly! For one it’s actually part of a series and two it’s a series that is technically still going? While we haven’t gotten a new entry in the series in…
