Review Cronos: The New Dawn (Switch 2) - Strong Story Elevates Otherwise Safe Survival Horror
Horror homage
In the run-up to the launch of Bloober Team’s new IP, Cronos: The New Dawn, chances are you saw one or two (or ten) comparisons to EA’s Dead Space series. And yes, while there are definitely some similarities between the two, I’d feel more comfortable describing Cronos as an amalgamation of nearly every major survival horror game...
Review Layers Of Fear 2 (Switch) - A Decent Premise, But A Disappointing Sequel
Layers of Persevere
Polish developer Bloober Team has produced something of a mixed bag thus far when it comes to their horror/psychological thriller game output, with the likes of Observer and the first Layers of Fear definitely feeling like their most successful efforts to date.

Oh yes, we can recite the C-beams speech verbatim, and more besides. However, we must concede that we probably don’t like Blade Runner quite as much as Bloober Team does. References aren’t...
Review Layers Of Fear: Legacy (Switch eShop)
When the horror joins you under the covers
The horror genre hasn’t had the best of starts when it comes to the Nintendo Switch. Don’t Knock Twice was less than thrilling, and Perception is something we’d rather forget about. Next, up steps Layers Of Fear: Legacy, a port of a title from 2016 that has been re-built to take advantage of the...
A whiff in the dark
It’s not uncommon to see a video game take inspiration from others; making liberal use of another’s formula, tweaking it with their own unique ideas in the hopes of pushing some boundaries and changing the gaming landscape all the while. Whereas most games will zig where others have zagged, Bloober Team’s BRAWL takes a road...
