Last bump for my video using Tormented Souls 2 to talk about the continuing relevance of classic survival horror in a space so often dominated by same-ness.

So far, this game has absolutely lived up to my expectations, and then some.
There's a reason why the first game is partly responsible for @horrorgamecentral.bsky.social and I creating @horrorgameawards.bsky.social
This franchise is absolutely one of the titans of modern survival horror.

This is just on a gameplay video, not even a review or video essay. The Last of Us Part 2 hate-brainrot must be so debilitating - imagine seeing someone enjoying a thing and having to drop everything to yell at them that it's bad.

In The Last of Us Part 2's roguelike No Return mode, characters who can't dodge have a perk called "resistant to melee." Here it is in action. 🙃

Now that The Horror Game Awards are done, I want to say a MASSIVE thanks to everyone involved. Our brilliant production team, presenters, jury, nominees and winners, and of course everyone who voted.
It's been an exhausting run of 12+ hour (unpaid) days, but MORE than worth it.

There's a guy in my YouTube comments sincerely arguing that Resident Evil (2002) isn't a remake of Resident Evil (1996) but a remaster, and it reinforces how much I fucking hate the remake vs remaster discourse.

A huge thanks to @alamodegames.bsky.social and @akuparagames.bsky.social for the early code for Sorry We're Closed. Easily one of my most anticipated games of the year.
Unfortunately, awkward timing means I won't get a review out before release tomorrow, but I'll have one ready to go next week.
