It felt like a platformer way too often. And the panties on those corpses were too cute. But overall it was a good game. I expected much worse.

To be honest, I like horror games mostly for the themes, atmosphere and storyline (with some exceptions), I don't mind "classic" survival horror mechanics, but I prefer if it's more of a survival horror x RPG hybrid or there is big focus on the story.

Fair enough. It's certainly a bit of a departure from 2, and the story is not as strong IMO.

I will be honest, I haven't played it, but it didn't seem like my cup of tea from what I've seen.

Did you play 3? If so, what did you think of it?

For whatever reason Silent Hill 2 is the only one that appealed to me (even thought there were gameplay elements I thought were distracting), I haven't played Silent Hill 1 though.

Pretty cool so far. Seems like it's a great addition to hellraiser canon.

There's a demo, try it out I was pleasantly surprised by it.

I havent played a first person game in years but this looks like it could be fun.

UBO has never done this for me. I can't really image using the web without an adblocker (I will that I do subscribe to multiple news/techs/gaming sites, in different languages no less).

@Agent_Karyo@piefed.world, I really enjoy the frequent game related reviews and news you post. I was wondering, is there any chance of getting some reviews about games that have been out a while? Basically reviews for patient gamers, who aren't really into new releases but want older gems they may not have tried.

I'm pretty sure when Kojima left Konami, they absolutely spiraled financially.

If its about bill gates they should call it STD.

"What is it that the more you look at, the less you understand?" "A Kojima game."

I love that man.

The game features collectibles strangely resembling the plastic toy version of Bill Gates. Shouting all of them will unlock something, but it has not been discovered yet.

It gets cancelled, Kojima Productions immediately announces a new IP they are developing. It's called MS and it's just OD, but now it's an allegory for how much Microsoft sucks. The main antogonist is named William Gatesman. It sells 11 trillion copies.

This looks really good. I loved Mouthwashing, although I wish it was longer and there was slower build up of tension.

I do find the post-soviet cityscape a bit uncomfortable though (I live in Ukraine and the fucking russians have ruined many of our towns and cities).

This was released back in 2025; I am surprised I missed this. I actually really enjoy FMV style visual novels, especially ones with sci-fi and horror themes/settings. I think the FMV formula works well for such games.

I will enjoy it, thanks!

That is actually identity politics btw. Either the game can fairly compete with the other 300-500 indie games released this month, without a sob story, or it's a shit game that's using a sob story to try to market, which is disgusting.

Enjoy your shit game made by shitty people using a war they're clearly not very connected to to market their game.

I'd rather hear about their actual hardships than your complaints about it.

So game devs in countries with famously unstable power infrastructure should also mention that in their marketing? Any game from the Philipines should reiterate how hard it is to be without power for a couple weeks during some rainy seasons? Is it really pertinent to the game when a middle eastern dev works through israeli bombing campaigns? Is it super necessary to mention when a dev in kansas survives a tornado in the middle of development?
