I Hate This Place is a survival/horror game from ex-Bloober Team devs, Rock Square Thunder, who are based out of Poland. But when we say survival/horror, we don’t mean it in the Resident Evil kind of way. Instead, this is a mixture of straight up horror gameplay but with survival […]

Saber Interactive’s World War Z has been around since 2019 and was a solid co-op shooter. We reviewed it when it came out, giving it a respectable 7/10, and a couple of us played through it all a couple of years ago and, yeah, it was decent. It never had the same […]

BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW comes from Serafini Productions who think they’re on the right track with help from an actual influencer. Unfortunately, their involvement seems to undercut the prevalent […]
