The developers of Tekken 8 have completely lost touch with their player base. Season 2 has ruined what made the game great, turning every fight into a gimmicky mess instead of a true test of skill. The balance is all over the place, rewarding cheap tactics over actual mastery. Winning doesn’t even feel satisfying anymore because of how broken and scummy the gameplay has become. Thanks for killing one of my favorite fighting games.

If you're a fan of classic survival horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Tormented Souls is an absolute must-play. This game captures the essence of the genre with fixed camera angles, eerie atmosphere, and challenging puzzles that make you feel like you're playing a lost gem from the late '90s.

The atmosphere is top-notch, with dimly lit corridors, unsettling sound design, and a constant sense of dread. The puzzles are cleverly designed, requiring you to pay close attention to your surroundings, just like in the classics.

Combat is tense and unforgiving, forcing you to manage your resources wisely. While some enemy encounters can feel a bit clunky, it adds to the old-school charm rather than taking away from the experience.

My only minor gripe is that movement can feel a little stiff at times, but it’s a small price to pay for a game that nails the survival horror formula so well.

Overall, Tormented Souls is an impressive indie survival horror title that delivers a nostalgic yet fresh experience. If you crave classic horror with modern polish, don't sleep on this one.

Resident Evil Village strikes a near-perfect balance between survival horror and action. The resource management mechanics of the series return, requiring careful planning when dealing with enemies or navigating environments. However, the game also leans more heavily into action than its predecessor, with a more extensive arsenal of weapons and a greater variety of enemies to combat.

The pacing is excellent. Intense, action-heavy sequences are balanced by slower, exploration-focused sections. One standout area, House Beneviento, shifts the focus entirely to psychological horror, delivering one of the most memorable and spine-chilling moments in the series.

The RE Engine shines again, delivering photorealistic visuals and smooth performance across platforms. Character models, particularly Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters, are stunningly detailed. Lighting plays a significant role in creating a foreboding atmosphere, while subtle environmental details draw you into the world.

Village offers plenty of reasons to return after the credits roll. Additional difficulty modes, the fan-favorite Mercenaries mode, and a host of collectibles provide hours of extra gameplay. The game also features excellent voice acting and a compelling story that rewards multiple playthroughs to fully appreciate its nuances.

Resident Evil Village is a worthy successor to the franchise, blending its roots in survival horror with modern action elements. Its rich environments, diverse gameplay, and memorable characters make it one of the best entries in the series to date. While some might prefer the pure horror of Resident Evil 7, Village’s approach offers a broader appeal without sacrificing the tension fans expect.

Score: 9/10


- Stunning visuals and atmospheric design
- Balanced mix of horror and action gameplay
- Engaging story with memorable villains
- High replay value


- Some late-game areas feel less polished
- Action focus may not appeal to purists

Simply one of the best remakes of all time!

RE4 Remake, is literally the answer to every fan of the franchise. They took the mold breaking gem RE4 from 2005, and they skyrocket it to the next level! The graphics, enhancements, new add-ons, dialogue, and overall experience, is a recipe made from heaven! RE4 keeps the nostalgia intact, while offers an absolutely immersive way to put every player instantly into the zone. Once you start this game, you cant stop! Just like it felt back in 2005 with the original. Fantastic work from Capcom. Can't wait for the next remake, RE5 or Code Veronica X remake please!

At first glance this doesn't even feel like a Resident Evil game. The classic RE characters are nowhere to be seen, and there are no zombies in sight. Without a few recycled puzzles from the previous games and an occasional reference, you would never guess you're playing Resident Evil. Despite all that, I'm gonna say this is the best Resident Evil since the PS1 era.

The environments are beautiful and disgusting all at once. Great use of light and shadows intuitively guides you through the levels, and memorable set pieces ensure you don't get lost despite the maze-like structure of the buildings. The atmosphere is dark and oppressive, with great pacing and build-up leading to rather scarce but all the more powerful jump scares. The monsters are disturbing yet cool, and the sound design is simply fantastic. I also particularly appreciated the VHS mechanic that foreshadows future events. It's smart and very well done. Add to it great, responsive controls and you have one fine game on your hands.

If you're a survival horror fan, this is a must-play title for you.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is definitely a great superhero game and it does a lot to improve on its predecessor in terms of combat and traversal. It never really gets old to web-sling through an accurate depiction of New-York City. The story and game play was enjoyable enough for me to at least want a game play session in everyday. The story had like able characters and not one really stood out to me as a bad character. Graphics are amazing and as expected.

However, the game did miss two marks for me. One big gripe I had with the game was the overall playtime. If we disregard side missions and the open-world activities, we are looking at 6-7 hours of main mission playtime. It also does not help that the first game doubles this playtime. It only took me around 22 hours to complete the game 100%. Another issue I could not look over was the lack of memorable boss fights, its hard not to compare it to the first game but, the first game did have many good boss fights against Spider-Man's iconic villains. This game did not even reach to half of that. Although, the final boss was a banger.

Overall, it is pretty difficult to justify paying full price for this game, but I can say that it is game that should not be looked over, especially if you were a fan of the first game. If you want to wait for a sale, that's cool, if you want to buy asap I'd say that's cool too.

**Spoiler Free**

You get out what you put in.

Just finished my first run through and while yes, this is completely different from the old games, its not trying to be the same. The change in game play and tone is reflected and addressed in the story (which is amazing by the way, like truly), and combat can be as easy or difficult as you like. As you progress your combat shapes up into something quite impressive to look at. There's a lot of puzzles to solve, but not many are compulsory. Shed loads of chests. Different weapons, armor, skills. More collectibles than you can shake a stick at.

Also loads of story telling while travelling too and from which really helps break up the usual meandering with open world games.

If you haven't played yet. Do so. Unless you're looking for a mindless hack and slash.. then don't.

Played the OG, and still one of the best FF games I played, This is a perfect remaster period.

Although the game has been well-remastered, it is still a 2007 PlayStation Portable game, so bear that in mind. Due to the fact that they haven't really updated that, dialogue is what it is. You get that with a Remaster; some of it still functions, some of it's a touch old. However, what makes this one special is that it features all of the voice actors from the FF7 Remake. This is an obvious choice if you enjoy FF7 Remake.

There was so much pleasure and activity for a game on the PSP title! Excellent improvements have been made to the aesthetics, fighting, and quality of life. Grab this gem and enjoy it if you love Final Fantasy 7 and want to understand more about Zack and Cloud.

A true masterpiece, Buy this game and you wont be disappointed! Square listened to the complaints that FF 15 had for it's combat system, and it shows because they have perfected this new formula. Using abilities in real time with your ATB gauge is buttery smooth and switching between Cloud/Barett/Tifa/Aerith on the fly during the heat of battle flows so well it's almost like second nature. Visuals are crisp, there isn't an area in this game that doesn't make you just stop what your doing and look around with your camera angles at how beautiful Midgar is. The story and characters are even more immersive than you could ask for, and don't get me started on the OST. You would be hard-pressed to find a remastered soundtrack that gets you as hyped during battle as this one! Game is highly replayable and that's only looking at it from the several categories I mentioned. This game is a 10/10 and I couldn't have been more proud of Square Enix on nailing this project!!

This is one of the best action adventure games I've ever played. I'm a fan of Spider-Man and this game truly brings him and Peter Parker, and side characters to life. Excellent voice acting and flawless animation in a gorgeous environment! Combat is quite innovative and keeps things fresh with gadgets, new suit powers, and skills to unlock as you progress through the game. But the best feature has got to be the amazing and compelling story line. Very intriguing and heartfelt towards the end - making you love the amazing hero all the more. It literally felt like watching a great Spider-Man movie in the theaters, except you control the flow. If you hadn't picked it up, you owe it to yourself to do so.
