The Drop:
What defines a human mind? What defines an artificial one? And what horrors emerge when you push them both to the breaking point? This week, sci-fi horror game Soma launches on PS4. Don’t close your eyes.
Fueled by real-world science and abstract philosophies, Soma drops players into a twisted labyrinth of unspeakable horrors, broken thoughts, and creatures of unnatural origin. For gamers that want the latest in first-person horror storytelling, look no further.
And for those that scare easily (present company included), try the innovative platforming challenges in Extreme Exorcism, or the old-school dungeon-crawling in Heroes of Loot. For a full look at this week’s lineup, read on. And enjoy the Drop!
Spooky season is here again at last and time of the horror game has arrived alongside it. This year has seen the return of some the genre's greatest entires, but both tended to focus more on thrills than they did chills. So, those wanting a bit more of the latter this month would do well to check out at least one of these before Halloween rolls around.
Embark on a thrilling sci-fi adventure with our carefully curated list of the best PlayStation 4 sci-fi games
Titan fall 2 was chefs kiss. For those of you who haven't played it go ahead. Brilliant. With each level being creatively different.
The Xbox One is full of SPOOKS, and that's all you should know about. Here is a list of the best horror games on the system.
A lot of my favourites are on this list so I whole heartedly approve.
Everything except The Observer. It started out really interesting but quickly unraveled into a train wreck. Including frustratingly dull dives into mind sequences, They neutered the monster with boring on rail stealth sequences and a laughably obvious and cringeworthy ending. Mix in bugs and some wonky controls to boot.
I had really strong impressions with it to start but ended up absolutely hating it.
Soma would be more existential horror than anything but I'll be damned if it didn't have one of the best stories in game that I've experienced. Blew my mind.
Big week. Grabbing SOMA and Extreme Exorcism.
Nice games!
