So, Little Nightmares has been out for a little while now and I didn’t hear much about it personally. I did however only hear good things. People claiming the game will bring out fears you never realized you had, bringing back the fear you once felt when you were a child. So I finally got the game and jumped on in, as somebody who doesn’t scare easily I was hoping to really feel something I haven’t felt from a game since Silent Hill 2. I feeling of fear and dread that haunts me even when I stop playing the game. This review will be from somebody that doesn’t scare easily as previously stated and I will do my best to stay away from spoilers but the world thinks the fact you move from room to room could be a spoiler these days so be warned.

She is the main line of contact for the firewatchers to the outside world. As ...

So, after the controversial, technical mess that was Assassin's creed unity on every platform. Has Syndicate wrote Unity’s wrongs? Yes! The problems you found with unity are gone. But, does the game fix the bad changes to the Assassin's Creed formula within the last few years? No. And here’s a review and why I think that that’s OK. So first of all, let's start with the setting. It's London in 1868. Right in the heart of a industrial revolution and the game really feels like it. The gritty, damp back alleys serve as a breeding ground for the gangs festering the city. The main roads are large and filled with carriages owned by the upper class that runs the city. And the Thames brimming with dirty polluted water and steam powered boats full of cargo from overseas. The amount of detail put into making this game feel like a industrial era of London is astonishing. Everything from the beautiful detail in the buildings to the sound effects keep y...
