Просмотров 240Месяц назад
Animal well isn't a game that has subversive moments, it's a game that treats subversion as part of its identity; more so than any game I've seen before it. It's a game full of secrets, tricks, hidden bunnies, eggs and every one of them is more subversive than the last! This is What you don't expect about Animal Well... 00:00 - Not your average metroidvania... 00:57 - The bad guys are kinda cut...

Space exploration on a truly real scale is something many have strived for, No Mans Sky, Starfield and many more have all tried to capture the beauty of the universe with... mixed reception at best. But other games like Outer Wilds do seem to recreate the magic of the universe in a way that hits home, even if i...

Analog Horror is still good actually
Просмотров 5364 месяца назад
Analog Horror, Mascot Horror and ARG's have really became the three tentpoles of indie horror games and RUclips horror shorts. Starting all the way back with veterans like Local 58 and FNaF, the fresh take on the horror genre garnered a massive following... So massive in fact that within a crowded market, public opinion shifted. Well loved projects such as The Mandela catalogue and even Five ni...

Videogame commercials have certainly changed a lot over the years... There's been creepy videogame commercials, cringe videogame commercials and even banned videogame commercials! But one company in particular had trouble with their marketing, when they saw it fit to release a bunch of cringe Wii U ads to try and sell the Wii successor. Spoiler alert, it didn't work... but they DID manage to fi...

Mirage has me worried for the future of Assassin's Creed...
Просмотров 2709 месяцев назад
Assassin's Creed Mirage gameplay has been looking a little sus from day 1... Whilst AC Mirage is being sold as a return to form for 'Classic Creed', it's looking a little too familiar for my liking. As a fan of old school Assassins creed titles like AC2, brotherhood, Revelations, Unity and so forth, I can't say that Mirage really appeals to me and today I wanted to take a look at why that is. B...
