~ Game Over ~
Silent Hill 2 (2024) (PC) – Exactly what I want to see in a remake: very similar to the source material, but with lots of tweaks and surprises for veterans of the original. The combat is surprisingly fun (SH combat is usually ass) and the new puzzles are (mostly) pretty darn good.
Can’t Revert (PC) – It’s just like PT, except much less frightening. Also, makes flagrant use of the “bad dad” trope that’s so common in horror games. I had a few good laughs with it, though! There’s a let’s play video of it coming some day.
Peglin (PC) – GD Peglin is back for more…
Unpacking (PC) – A puzzle-ish game where you have to unpack boxes and place the contents in appropriate places around the house. Travel through time and through the various stages of a character’s life with almost entirely environmental storytelling. It’s quite cute and fun. But I don’t know if it’s an interesting let’s play.
Broken Through (PC) – First-person horror where you play a hunted video game, get sucked into said video game, and then are charged with releasing the souls trapped within. It was actually very good and I highly recommend you play it yourself.
Ignited Entry (PC) – From the same dev as Broken Through, this one sees you unwittingly dragged into some sort of purgatory realm. It didn’t hit me in quite the same way, but I liked it as well. Definitely keeping an eye out for this kid’s future games.
