During my turn as a survivor, producer Matheiu Côté encouraged me to stick close to teammates, but not just for cooperation. He gleefully explained that often the best strategy for escaping the killer is to use your fellow survivors as a distraction. There’s cooperation only to a point, he said, because ultimately you only win if you get out alive. That dynamic extends to whether or not you want to save your teammates from death. You see, when the killer attacks you, he can’t actually kill you just yet. First, he has to hang you on a meat hook, which will slowly drain your life. You can tap a button to struggle and free yourself, but that will accelerate your rate of death significantly, which probably isn’t the best move unless the killer left to go hunt your friends. Sometimes the better move is instead to hang out on the hook for a little while and let a teammate come rescue you. Of course, there’s still real incentive to watch out for each other, like the ability to heal each other or work on fixing a generator together to speed things up. A one-on-one fight between you and the killer probably isn’t going to work out in your favor.

We know now that PT is a “playable teaser” for Hideo Kojima’s Silent Hills , a adventure game characters that will never actually materialize since it was canceled by Konami . But back when it released, it was a truly mysterious and bizarre experie

Pokémon Go is the older sibling of Wizards Unite , having been released three years ago in 2016. This has given Pokémon Go a lot of time to improve since its initial release. But more importantly, it gave Wizards Unite , which was also developed by Niantic, a lot to build

The real tragedy behind this DLC is the lack of content given the franchise behind it. Why only introduce one of the Cenobites? Better yet, why not include one of the film’s protagonists as a survivor as well? This DLC doesn’t just place low because of its lack of content, but for its lack of imagination as w

The past five years have seen the horror genre come out of its slump and deliver some true classics that stand as some of the best horror experiences gaming has to offer.

Niantic chose another popular world to bring to life in its next game, basing it off the Harry Potter universe. With such a history of success and popularity, Wizards Unite was an excellent choice. Wizards Unite was largely based off Pokémon Go , however, there are a few significant differences. Did Wizards Unite succeed in overcoming its predecessor, or does Pokémon Go show that changing things up isn’t always better?

Upon entering the game, the player is informed of a calamity occurring in the wizarding world. Important artifacts, creatures, and even wizards are going missing. As well as, reappearing in the non-magic world, threatening to reveal the existence of magic to the muggles. It is the player’s job to save the lost items (known as Foundables) and maintain the secret of magic. Adding a story to Wizards Unite not only made it more interesting but also created a reason for people to play the g

PT sees players moving through an endlessly looping hallway as they attempt to solve its complex, vague puzzles and avoid the disturbing, ghost-like woman that occasionally attacks them. It’s unfortunate that the full game will never be released, but PT is still a landmark horror release that has gone on to inspire countless copyc

School houses and rivalries have been a consistent theme in the world of Harry Potter starting with the very first book. They’ve always served to spur and create competition, even in the real world. The fact that Wizards Unite chose not to make different house factions a means for friendly competition is both surprising and disappointing. Pokémon GO , on the other hand, allows players to choose a team to combat against other people in real life, despite Pokémon itself never having teams. This adds a fun sense of competition to the game, that Wizards Unite sorely la

Hour of the Witch was strangely released as a half-chapter DLC, even though the fact that it only includes one survivor should make it a paragraph DLC. Regardless, it places a little higher than other single-character chapters since that survivor is Mikaela R
