Metacritic has sent a reminder email to all games site editors/publishers which is pretty strong, and great:

@baronaim.bsky.social Also, I am unspeakably excited to play whatever that mystery set piece is you’re teasing

@baronaim.bsky.social I was a little concerned about the whole Racoon City nostalgia baiting, so it’s a relief to hear that it’s not going to dominate the whole game. A big part of the joy of any new Resident Evil for me is discovering new environments and learning their secrets

‘Resident Evil Requiem’ Bridges the Old and New for a Terrifying, Action-Packed Experience [Review] For the last decade, the Resident Evil franchise has been one that has had its feet in both the past and the future. Resident Evil 7 pushed the series forward by giving us not only a new perspective, ...

If I wasn't already hyped for RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM, @baronaim.bsky.social's review has me foaming at the mouth for Friday's release.

‘Crisol: Theater of Idols’ Is a Charming Callback to Gimmick-Centric Shooters [Review] There was a distinct breed of action game in the late 2000s to early 2010s that I have affectionately categorised as “the Blockbuster rental”. Some titles that fall under this taxonomy include Bullets...

Crisol: Theater of Idols reminds me of the kind of gimmicky shooter that I would have rented from Blockbuster back in the Xbox 360 era. To be clear, that is not meant as a dig, but rather as an affectionate endorsement. My review for @bloody-disgusting.com

‘Hellraiser: Revival’ Developers Aim to Deliver Authentic Clive Barker Experience Beyond Limits [Exclusive Interview] “On rare occasions, we had team members request to be switched to a different project because they found it unpleasant to work on something [this] explicit.” So confesses Emil Esov, Game Director for ...

Curious about Saber's upcoming game HELLRAISER: REVIVAL? @harrisonabbott.bsky.social has a pretty cool interview with the developers on pushing the boundaries of sex and violence and keeping it Clive Barker authentic.

‘Hellraiser: Revival’ Developers Aim to Deliver Authentic Clive Barker Experience Beyond Limits [Exclusive Interview] “On rare occasions, we had team members request to be switched to a different project because they found it unpleasant to work on something [this] explicit.” So confesses Emil Esov, Game Director for ...

For @bloody-disgusting.com, I spoke to Hellraiser: Revival director Emil Esov. Among other things, we covered the game’s graphic content, how it was too much for some colleagues, his interactions with the ESRB, and the awkwardness of working on raunchy scenes

That “Special Place” That Makes ‘Silent Hill 2’ So Special Itself There’s a point towards the end of Silent Hill 2 where, having followed a trail of breadcrumbs left behind by your late wife, you eventually reach the “special place” you’ve been searching for all gam...

With a cinematic adapatation just around the corner, I took a deep dive into Silent Hill 2 for @bloody-disgusting.com, looking at how ahead of its time it was, the way it uses the unique language of video games to tell its story, and what makes it so special

Bloody Disgusting’s 10 Most Anticipated Horror Games of 2026 It’s a matter of near-universal consensus that we’re living in a golden age for horror cinema right now, but horror games haven’t been letting the side down either. For all the other abominable things...

2026 is looking to be another stellar year for horror gaming. Among other things, we’ve got macabre animal hybrids, legendary slasher icons, dino madness, and the return of a genre juggernaut. Here's our 10 most anticipated titles at @bloody-disgusting.com

With 2025 drawing to a close, @Baronaim.bsky.social and I rounded up our best horror games of the year for @bloody-disgusting.com

It was tough whittling it down to just 10 spots but I’m very happy with the list we ended up with and think we landed on a very worthy number 1 pick!

I honestly think the first two instalments of Welcome to Derry are the weakest. Especially since the horror revolves around that CGI bat baby. It steadily improves from there and the penultimate episode is a pretty great horror bloodbath

Delve Into An Abandoned Research Facility in Supernatural Survival Horror Game ‘The Victor Initiative’ Released into Early Access on Steam earlier this year, solo developer Spacepiano Games’ first-person supernatural survival horror game The Victor Initiative will be receiving a major update next month...

Thanks so much to @bloody-disgusting.com for the writeup on The Victor Initiative! Chapter 5 is right around the corner and I can't wait to reveal what's in store!

Inelegant and Shameless plug: Many of the games that won big this evening will also be featured in our upcoming Game of the Year list over on @bloody-disgusting.com . Watch this space to no doubt get incensed by how we decided to rank things

A massive well done to everyone involved in pulling this together. We’re living through a new golden age of Horror gaming right now, and it’s great to have an event recognising that. My Steam Wishlist has ballooned after seeing so many trailers for cool and inventive indies that are on the horizon

Silent Hill f, Look Outside and The Midnight Walk all deservedly picked up trophies at tonight’s #HorrorGameAwards, which was a fantastic celebration of the art form’s best and bloodiest outings from the past year (with some great teasers for what’s to come in 2026)

Just saw Murnau’s Nosferstu as nature intended: with live musical accompaniment!

The pitch perfect score by @seagreenmusic.bsky.social really made this 100+ years old film feel modern and dynamic again. Got distinct John Carpenter vibes (and I mean that as a high compliment)

‘Bye Sweet Carole’ Charms with Its Classical Animation Combined with Dark Fantasy [Review] Bye Sweet Carole plays a devious trick when first booted up, lulling you into a false sense of security and giving off a deliberately misleading impression. In case you’re not aware, the whole shtick ...

"If you’re in that niche target audience of people who like survival horror, meaty brainteasers, classic Disney animation or preferably all three, then this is one twisted fairytale that you won’t wanna miss," @harrisonabbott.bsky.social writes in his 4-star review of BYE SWEET CAROLE:

‘Silent Hill f’ Breathes New Life (and Scares) into the Series [Review] There’s a lot riding on Silent Hill f. I don’t think it’d be catastrophising to say that the reputation and, perhaps more importantly, the future prospects of a gaming icon hang in the balance here. F...

Like RE:7, Silent Hill f feels authentic to its roots but also completely fresh & exciting. It captures the essence of the series without getting bogged down in the past and has become one of my favouritie entires as a result. My review @bloody-disgusting.com

A ★★★★½ review of The Long Walk (2025) Starts as an incredibly tense, brutal thriller in the vein of King’s more celebrated horror works, before then turning into a more character focussed exploration of friendship, empathy and the struggl...

The Long Walk starts as a tense, brutal thriller in the vein of King’s celebrated horror works, before then turning into a moving exploration of friendship and the struggle to cling onto hope in the darkest of times (recalling the big beating heart of Shawshank). My Letterboxd review:

Ahead of Gamescom I sat down with @illfonic.bsky.social to learn more their vision for Halloween: The Game, the extent of John Carpenter's involvement in the project, how they're planning to shake up the asymmetrical foruma, and their first proper stab at a solo campaign.

Monster Island (2025) - Movie Review Monster Island, 2025. Directed by Mike Wiluan. Starring Dean Fujioka, Callum Woodhouse and Alan Maxson. SYNOPSIS: Set during WW2, a Japanese soldier and a British prisoner of war are stranded on a des...

Monster Island's press notes cite a number of key influences, ranging from Malay folklore to Creature from the Black Lagoon. What they fail to mention, however, is that this is really just a (well made) Predator clone. My review for @flickeringmyth.bsky.social

‘System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster’ Is Absolute Perfection [Review] Just a little over a year ago, we gave a (broadly positive) appraisal of the System Shock remake after it was ported over to consoles. To briefly recap what was said here, we admired how that update p...

I have a hot take, which is that System Shock 2 is actually pretty good. Read my radical opinions over at @bloody-disgusting.com, as I review the game’s new 25th Anniversary remaster
