This is a Ghost Review This is a Ghost is a supernatural investigation game. You are a member of a secret society that hunts scary entities from our world. Start your investigation with a full set of tools to find clues to a haunting. Gather evidence, identify the entity and send it back to the afterlife. Playable in Solo and co-op with up to 4 players. It can be spooky when you first start playing it, but that wore off quickly for me. The progression system makes it really rewarding to get everything done, and I love they don’t require you to pay a butt load of money for the…

Aloft Early access review If you’ve played pretty much any survival game before, then Aloft will immediately feel familiar. It has swinging pickaxes and axes of the non-pick variety to gather stone, wood, and other materials in order to craft your way to greater power. That familiarity quickly fades away as you discover the main thing that sets Aloft apart: the skyborne islands that serve as both places to explore and magically mobile homes to navigate this floating landscape. You’ll use a glider to fly around to visit other islands. Slapping a couple of sails, a rudder, and a steering wheel onto any island allows you to move it freely.…

Raft Review Our oceans are clogged with plastic trash, but here’s a small silver lining: All that garbage is keeping me alive. In open world survival game Raft.  I turned a collection of floating trash into a floating base—a big, semi-cluttered floating base, but it’s packed with life-saving amenities. The first few hours were so rough I probably would have just quit if I weren’t playing with a group of friends. But after a few hours of surviving, I was beginning to realize how to play it and without having to worry about death quite so constantly I eventually discovered an engrossing survival experience. I went from wanting to quit…

Bureau of Contacts Review   Bureau of Contacts is in a very early stage. There’s not a ton of maps which is kind of a bummer. The game runs really smoothly and without frame dips, and it looks pretty good. All of the equipment you’ll be using to help with exorcisms or finding the evidence types has 3 kinds of evidence they can provide, so familiarize yourself with the details of what can happen in your journal. You’re set to explore and uncover your ghost in a big manor, covering multiple floors and rooms. You will have to learn the maps to better investigate and complete your quests before being…

The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan Review I’m reviewing The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan today. I like my decisions to come with consequences. The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan presents some strong ones, including one that determines whether or not I get to see Shawn Ashmore speared through the chest with a rusty spike. Man of Medan is a serious and brooding horror game that starts off slow but maintains a welcome sense of dread. A meaningful choice-and-consequence system makes a second or even third playthrough alluring. Particularly when playing online co-op, where you each control one character and independently make decisions with the potential to fuck everything up. When…

Lethal Company Review running through an abandoned planets in the dark with nothing but a hazmat suit on your back and three of your closest buds at your side.  Welcome to Lethal Company, a co-op survival horror game that’s all about digging deep into the (procedurally generated) crevasses for loot, which your party of up to four companions (Unless it’s modded of course) will need to figure out how to safely transport back to your ship and eventually sell to your tentacle overlord at the end of each round. This is a simple but highly enjoyable premise. there’s enough chaos to sink an entire weekend into its depths without realizing…

Content Warning Review   In theory, Content Warning functions similarly to Steam-favorite survival horror multiplayer, Lethal Company. In three-day cycles, you and up to three other aspiring SpöökTubers must descend into a pit. Your goal is to film something spooky, go viral, and make money. So, you descend into the pit with a depleting oxygen tank, and you hope to live long enough to ride a diving bell back to the surface, upload your footage to the tv, and watch the ad revenue come rushing in. I didn’t play any public games, though save file options make it possible for you to play either with friends, or alone. I never…

Lakeburg Legacies Review Lakeburg Legacies does start off on the right foot. sexual preferences just aren’t a thing here. Anyone can marry anyone they’re not related too. Any couple can have children. “falling in love” business is reduced to nothing more than a quick click through three random micro-scenarios pulled from a disappointingly small list. All love needs, apparently, is knowing likes and dislikes. The children are also automatically kicked out of their homes the instant they turn 18. Much younger children can also end up homeless if two existing widowers wed and there’s not enough room in their home. Unless you expand their home so they can all live…

Error143 Review   Error143 is a visual novel and hacking game directed by Jenny Vi Pham, about the romantically charged exploits between yourself and your cute hacker adversary, Micah Yujin. Set within the chats and video calls with Micah the story is a short, sweet, and funny experience. Micah is an interesting character. The banter feels fun and natural without straying too far into cringe territory. The art is also great. The voice acting is also very good. The issues I have with the game stem primarily from its length. There is very little plot, and the relationship between the characters is rushed to fit into 5 days. you have to…

Phasmophobia Review So, this is a game that popped onto my radar through a streamer friend who asked if I had the game. She wanted to play it with me. I told her sure I’ll get the game. I had never heard of it prior to her mentioning it. It does a pretty good job of having plenty of maps. Both large and small maps. While it can be jump scare-ish for you to turn around and see the ghost in the same room with you. It doesn’t have the cheap loud jump scares that a couple of horror fan friends dislike. The concept is great. Although there are a…
