Unless you count extraction games, old-school dungeon crawlers have gone the way of the dodo. Back in the day, we were blessed with the likes of King's Field, Arx Fatalis, Wizardry, Might and Magic, and many more. Harkening back to that golden era is Monomyth, with a completely reactive world, immersive sim tendencies, and an emphasis on freedom.

Image: Calligram Studio In Phoenix Springs, it’s not so much the ravishing hand-drawn visuals that first grab the attention, but the voice of narrator and protagonist Iris. Befitting her name, she behaves like a roving eye, investigating and describing her surroundings with a clinical, almost robotic detachment. Yet Iris is no blank slate: you quickly come to learn that she is a snob with little regard for the homeless. She even appears to have short shrift for the player, delivering a withering putdown when you make a connection she deems just a little too obvious. Iris, a tech journalist by trade, is the perfect protagonist for a point-and-click adventure, a genre whose mechanics often begin with the simple act of looking. Eventually, in classics like Grim...

Now Bloober’s Silent Hill 2 Remake is out in the wild, the director of the original Silent Hill from 2001 has offered his thoughts on this reimagining of his work, and he’s full of praise. In a series of tweets, Silent Hill 2 director Masashi Tsuboyama began by saying he is “very happy” about the remake and how a new generation will get to play the horror classic. “It's been 23 years,” he said. “Even if you don't know the original, you can just enjoy the remake as it is. Whether it's good or bad doesn't affect the original.” Tsuboyama went on to discuss the change in camera perspective from the original’s limited camera to the remake’s modern over-the-shoulder camera perspective. This change — debated by fans in the context of the original tank controls’ crucial role in Silent Hill 2’s famously oppressive atmosphere — has a “significant impact” on everything from combat to level design, and even art creation. “While the impact on the story may be relatively small, it brings a big change to the playfeel of the game,” he added. It sounds like Tsuboyama has come down in favor of the switch, saying: “The over-the-shoulder view definitely adds to the sense of realism. In other words, it makes me want to try playing the even more immersive remake of Silent Hill 2.” Tsuboyama, as he has done before, said he isn’t happy with the original game’s camera, but this time added some context as to why it had to be as constrained as it ended up being back in 2001 on the PS2. “Games and technology are constantly evolving, resulting in significant differences in constraints and levels of expression,” he explained. “This is a common issue with media arts in general, but it is not easy to maintain and appreciate the environment of the time. “To be honest, I'm not satisfied with the playable camera from 23 years ago. Depth and angle were limited by the processing load,” he said. “It was a continuous process of hard work that was not rewarded. But that was the limit.” To be honest, I'm not satisfied with the playable camera from 23 years ago. One aspect of Silent Hill 2 Remake Tsuboyama doesn’t sound thrilled about is Konami’s marketing for the game. He says “it seems like they're [Konami] not doing enough to convey the appeal of the work to the generation that doesn't know Silent Hill,” while pointing to the inclusion of the Mira the Dog Mask and the PS5 exclusive Robbie the Rabbit Mask DLC pre-order bonuses. The original Silent Hill 2 had plenty of goofiness in among its horror, so Tsuboyama may be upset at the idea of players running around the game wearing the DLC masks during their first playthrough, rather than their second or third. Either way, the Silent Hill 2 Remake is going down well with fans and critics, with IGN’s Silent Hill 2 Remake review returning an 8/10. Unfortunately, trolls are trying to ruin the fun — the Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia page had to be locked down after its list of review scores from the press was edited to make them lower.

Long-form, grand strategy games like Civilization and Stellaris lend you enormous power over entire societies, but they're sometimes lacking in urgency. Planning, scheming, gradually accruing resources and soldiers - the complexity is enjoyable, but I like a bit of pressure, the immediacy and chaos that comes from Command and Conquer, XCOM, and the other RTS stalwarts. It's been 18 years since the last Commandos game, but now the classic stealth tactics series is making a valiant and much-needed return. Seemingly ignoring the experiment that was Strike Force, the new Commandos feels much closer to Men of Courage and Destination Berlin. I've been looking forward to this one for months, and now it's finally playable, right now. Read the rest of the story...

Epic Games ***** off over 800 people a year ago, following what CEO Tim Sweeney confessed was an "unrealistic" ******* of investment designed to "grow Fortnite as a metaverse-inspired ecosystem for creators". Now, it's time to start talking about brighter, metaversal tomorrows and hopefully, not do the whole thing all over again. Epic have detailed early plans for Unreal Engine 6, which Sweeney says will combine Unreal Engine with Fortnite's easy-to-use Unreal Editor to create a gigantic, "interoperable" metaverse platform that lets developers sell stuff that can seamlessly be transferred to other games, whether they run on Unreal Engine or not.

2012’s Silent Hill HD Collection is perhaps best known by fans for inexplicably changing the Silent Hill Ranch sign font to Comic Sans. It was a tweak to the beloved original that baffled Silent Hill fans and has become infamous in the 12 years since the HD Collection’s release. Never thought I would see it in person but here it is.

X/Twitter user @Wario64 showed off this new/old look. not comic sans :( [Hidden Content] — Wario64 (@Wario64) October 6, 2024 However, Silent Hill 2 Remake players have discovered that if you clip through or go out of bounds in the PC version when at Silent Hill Ranch, you can find the HD Collection’s Comic Sans sign among other discarded rubbish in an abandoned warehouse (right where fans will say it belongs). Twitter/X user @GmanLives surfaced the change, since verified by other users, declaring Silent Hill 2 Remake GOTY for this awesome nod to Silent Hill HD Collection. So if you clip through the ranch at the start of the Silent Hill 2 remake you can find the comic sans font sign hidden away inside. GOTY.

Bloober Team and Konami are genuinely amazing for that,” said NONAMEDREDDITER. “... Bloober are officially **** tier,” added Low-Positive5888. “Bloober, my heart grows ******* and ******* for you every day,” said stinkyratboiii. “***** it HD Collection!” declared cyb0rganna.
