    Games That Never End

    If you’ve been following the blog for some time now you may remember a few posts I did discussing the length of games. How long or short a game is can be very important to the overall experience. You can have an amazing game with some great game play but if that game lasts way […]

  • Psychological Horror – Horror that sits with you

    Psychological Horror – Horror that sits with you

    To end this month of horror game related posts, I thought I’d talk about what might be my favorite kind of horror, and that’s psychological horror! Unlike with shock horror, that mainly focuses on things like jump scares and freaky imagery, psychological horror generally requires a bit more thought. It focuses more on dread and […]

  • Co-op Horror: Putting Fear into Friendship

    Co-op Horror: Putting Fear into Friendship

    Horror games are easily some of the most creative kinds of games around. This mainly stems from the fact that developers are always trying to find new ways to scare people! And through that drive we tend to get some pretty creative ideas. But there’s one kind of horror game that people really don’t seem […]

    Indie Horror Games: Like a needle in a hay stack

    With cheaper and more easily available development tools like Unity and the Unreal Engine, making your own games has never been easier! This can be seen pretty easily with the rise of indie games in recent years. Games that are developed by one person or a small group with a small budget and normally without […]

  • Pseudo Horror Games: A Gateway to Horror

    Pseudo Horror Games: A Gateway to Horror

    Like I mentioned in last week’s post, pseudo horror games are a great way to see if you’d enjoy a full on horror experience without needing to completely commit to one. This is because, as you may have guessed, pseudo horror games aren’t really horror games. They are games that have plenty of horror elements […]

    Spooky Month and why we enjoy being scared

    Well it’s that time of the year again! The time to really sit down and enjoy getting scared. That’s right, it’s spooky month! And in honor of that, I decided that every post this month is going to be about horror games in some way. Granted it’s not like I’ve ever needed an excuse to […]

    Persona and the impact a game can have on you

    So this is going to be a bit of a different post from the usual kinds! I wouldn’t really call this a review or a discussion exactly as I mainly want to talk about the Persona series, particularly Persona 4, and it’s impact on me. With Persona 3, 4, and 5 finally branching out from […]

    Splatoon 3 – It’s just more Splatoon and that’s okay!

    I’ve said before in previous posts that I don’t really feel that every game needs to strive to be innovative or groundbreaking. Sometimes it’s perfectly fine to play to your strengths and just keep doing what works. This is something that Nintendo is kind of known for with a lot of it’s games. Just look […]

    Deathloop – Please give this game a try!

    It’s that time at last! The time I finally get an excuse to gush about a game that really deserves more attention. Deathloop. A game released exclusively for the PlayStation 5 last year by Arkane Studios, the makers of Dishonored and the reboot of Prey. Despite releasing such a long time ago, now is actually […]
