MetalCaveman

Co-op action game, normally I'd be pretty let down by this, but it looks really cool and it's more Elden Ring, so I'm pretty hyped.

If you've watched Secret Level then you'll be familiar with this new version of Pac-Man lol Got extremely hyped and then my heart broke

Tosin has looked like that for a while lol, dude saw John Petrucci and went "Hold my 8 string" lol. For drummers yeah, Halpern only played on their first album iirc, it's been Gartska on drums since... 2012(?)

The Evil Within 2 Brief but accurate summary: This one definitively felt better to play, it is overall the better game, but the first one is the better survival horror. Not to say this one isn't scary, it does have some really creepy parts, but the general atmosphere and feel of this one doesn't quite reach the same heights. The story was pretty cool Overall, this is a game I would totally recommend to anyone interested in the series, there's plenty of QoL and gameplay improvements, although at the cost of some of the horror, still pretty creepy though. Grade: A

ROCK AND STONE

The Evil Within Several years late to the party, but I finally beat this one. A real rollercoaster, where the highest highs are excellent but the lowest lows made me question why would anyone play this. The atmosphere, music, and monster designs are top tier, super creepy and scary with a nice mix of combat and horror. The story was cool, it really puts the psychological in psychological horror. Can't wait to start 2, see where this goes. Starting around chapter 9 however, there's some serious issues, it really likes to throw insta-death stuff at you, one of the more annoying ones being capable of teleporting and appearing right in front of you, combine this with enemies and traps around the area and it ended up being a really frustrating encounter, specially since the best way I found to deal with that was to just run around in circles until it went away lol, that kinda kills the atmosphere. There's also this room in one of the later chapters that was a nightmare to deal with, all the traps in the universe gathered in a single room. Overall, it was a really good survival horror, though I don't know if I'd recommend it, it does require some patience, both to deal with some technical issues and to make it through some of the more annoying sections. If you do have that kind of patience, then yeah, definitively worth it. Also if you link your Bethesda account, you get access to a bunch of extra stuff including infinite ammo mode. Might be a fun way to do a NG+ run, specially with some of the stuff you get for beating the game once. Grade: B+

\m/ \m/ October brought the best albums of the year lol, add to this list Trollslayer from Wind Rose.

Control multiplayer game, 3 player co-op, looks like it could be fun.
