  • Just finished Silent Hill 2 Remake. Really enjoyed it. Time slowed down as I played it, the game isn’t that scary coming from games like RE7, but the atmosphere and the trauma stories are really something. Medium from Bloober was similar in that way. The gameplay was fun too, never overstayed its welcome.

    I feel they did creepy rooms and underworld better than Alan Wake 2 did it. Not sure if it’s fair to compare them, but parts of it made me feel how AW2 didn’t go far enough in some of its sequences.

    UE5 sucks though. Lots of noisy and shimmery graphics and fps at times dips to literal slideshow on PS5.




  • Just finished God of War Valhalla. It’s a great amalgamation of rouge lite loop and

    Therapy. The concept works wonderfully as like in therapy you keep getting challenged even though everything is pretty much the same again and again, and you come out stronger, sometimes even temporarily broken. Who would have thought they’ll bring therapy to a macho killing monsters game. Works beautifully.

    And now I’m playing Resident Evil 8. Even though it’s stressful it’s really calming after labouring a platinum and getting all trophies of Valhalla.




  • Just finished Dead Space remake and have begun playing Dead Space 2. The remake is really phenomenal. It’s proper horror, with amazing ambient sounds that keep you on your toes, and clever ammo system that kept me switching to weapons that I didn’t care about. The metroidvania touch is a great change from the original, making revisiting older sections rewarding as you progressed in the game.

    DS2 on the other hand feels pretty life less after playing the remake. I’m aware it’s a well regarded sequel, but it’s much less scary and almost a different genre of a game. I think I’m half way through and I don’t think I’m able to immerse much into it. It’s probably a great game from its era and seems less exciting in front of the remake.
