Game idea: intentionally glitchy beat-'em-up called Z-Fighters. Characters clip through each other, get stuck in scenery, strike random T-poses, etc.

Just finished folk horror detective game The Séance Of Blake Manor. Incredible stuff. Game of the year type shit. Most satisfying virtual sleuthing I've done since The Roottrees Are Dead. Absolutely hypnotised me for 15 hours. Art, music, sense of place, characters, mood, voice acting: all superb.

Haven't played enough Silent Hill f to form an opinion yet, but an objective flashing up on the screen ten minutes in, and that objective being 'ESCAPE FROM THE FOG MONSTER', isn't filling me with confidence.

At the end of Snake Eater when the President says 'you are above even the Boss, I hereby award you the title of Big Boss' and gives you a medal, it seemed comical at the time, but that would absolutely happen in America now.

The highest compliment I can give this game is that in sniffing around the manor's lonely corridors, poking my nose into rooms and the lives that play out in them, Blake Manor has that Hotel Dusk secret sauce. Impeccable vibes. And a much more sophisticated detective game driving it all. Superb!
The Séance of Blake Manor is OUT NOW!
Can you discover what has become of Evelyn Deane and uncover the secrets of Blake Manor itself?
