Game Review: ‘World War Z: Aftermath’

It’s no secret, people like to kill zombies, but how would they fair staring down a massive hoard of them barreling towards them like a tsunami of bloody flesh and nightmare fuel? Well, now you can in World War Z: Aftermath. A big thanks to Saber Interactive for the opportunity to try out this game! The game takes place in the same universe as Paramount Picture’s film World War Z where players team up to survive the massive hoard of zombies. It should be noted that World War Z: Aftermath is an addition to the main game and not a standalone story. Aftermath features new characters and two new levels, Rome and Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula. The biggest addition to the game is the option to have the game in First-Person, which added a whole new dynamic to the intensity of the game. I have not played the game before now and after a few hours going solo with AI teammates;

Game Review: ‘Tormented Souls’

When I first heard of this game, I saw it on a post on Twitter showing testing of the combat animation and was instantly taken in by the look (though it was roughly done) but now Tormented Souls has been unleashed and PQube was amazing enough to let me have a look-see at their game that touts its bringing back classic survival horror. Tormented Souls follows Caroline Walker, a young woman who was suddenly called on to visit an abandoned mansion that is also a hospital, upon arriving she is knocked out and wakes up in a nightmarish scenario where twisted creatures roam the halls and her only weapon is a nail gun. The controls of the game are very smooth and can be mastered quite quickly and handle very much like the classic survival horror games we grew up on! No surprise as the game is heavily inspired by “Resident Evil” and “Silent Hill”, which you definitely see a

Game Review: ‘Deadly Days’

Zombie games pretty much have the same premise, zombies take over the world, survival is key, fight and scavenge in order to survive. Nothing new right? Well Pixel Split Games, Assemble Entertainment, and WhisperGames changed that by combining rogue-lite elements with silliness that birthed this pixilated strategy, Deadly Days. Deadly Days is a pixilated strategy game where failure can be a good thing as the more you keep trying again, the more you uncover as no playthrough is the same. The game’s story is quite silly, some bad burgers were produced and sold in a fast food restaurant turning people into zombies, you take control of survivors to help battle the hoards of zombies while trying to find the burger joint that caused this apocalypse and destroy it. The controls for Deadly Days are easy to master as they’re quite simple, plus the humorous tutorial at the start helps. The game’s sound designe is relatively simple but the soundtrack is

Fear not headline reactors! Though the news of Evil Dead: The Game’s release is being pushed back to February 2022, there’s some positive news for players, especially for us lone wolf players. Saber Interactive is going to add a single-player mode to the game, they most likely foresaw friendships being torn apart by arguments of who will be playing their favorite characters. The question now is will the single-player option include a standalone game/story mode? We will have to see.

Game Review: ‘The Innsmouth Case’

Choose your own adventure books, remember those? Those fun times where you either choose paths to make the story last a while and remain interesting, or end suddenly with embarrassing choices that say a lot about you. Well, RobotPumpkin Games and Assemble Entertainment have brought back the joys and pains of this reading style digitally in The Innsmouth Case, an interactive story set in the world of H.P. Lovecraft. The Innsmouth Case puts players in the show of a private detective from Boston being hired by a mother in search of her daughter, where the client is from…Innsmouth, the infamous seaside town from Lovecraft’s short story The Shadow Over Innsmouth. While there, players will meet and interview interesting locals, check out the sights Innsmouth has to offer, all the while trying to conduct their investigation. Now onto the game itself. This is new for me as there’s not a lot to really talk about, as mentioned before, it’s a text-based
