Five Nights at Freddy’s has transcended gaming and become a multimedia phenomenon, spawning an endless stream of merchandise, novel adaptations, and an in-production feature film on top of numerous spinoffs and sequels. The game’s premise is simple but effective, with players taking on the role of a security guard at a creepy Chuck E. Cheese knockoff restaurant called Freddy Fazbear’s Pi
Until Dawn is one of the few games that use the framework of a classic horror story. With cameos from famous actors such as Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere and Peter Stormare there are too many reasons to play Until D
From the same company that created The Witcher came Cyberpunk 2077 , a solid first-person RPG set in the fictional Night City in the year 2077, where megacorporations rule most of the world, and nearly every person has cybernetics of some sort grafted onto their body. Players control V, a customizable character that is possessed by the AI spirit of dead rocker Johnny Silverhand, who is deadset on taking over their b
The past five years have seen the horror genre come out of its slump and deliver some true classics that stand as some of the best horror experiences gaming has to offer. These 10 games in particular are perhaps the best modern horror games, and are all great choices for anyone looking for some thrills this Hallow
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite was announced a few months ago, and even with little to go on, many fans suspected that it would be a similar experience to Pokémon GO . Those suspicions were only given more fuel when the development team outlined the game’s features earlier this week. Not only is the basic premise the same, but there are also some mechanics that seem directly pulled from Pokémon GO, particularly gyms and PokéSt
Now in general, Wizards Unite has customization pretty much handled. However, the game is dropping the ball in one major area—your avatar. In Pokémon Go , your avatar is the only source of character customization and can take on many different looks. The avatar can be seen running across the map, the player menu, and is shown to friends. The avatar in Wizards Unite in comparison is a humanoid blob bearing the color of your chosen Hogwarts ho
There are even three teams. This seems particularly odd since the Harry Potter franchise has four perfect teams built into its story with the Hogwarts houses. Instead, it seems we’re getting Valor, Instinct, and Mystic repeated in the form of three Professions. Wizards Unite players can choose to be Aurors, Magizoologists, or Professors, which totally fit the theme of the aggressive one, the offbeat one, and the smart one. One nice difference is that the three Professions are encouraged to work together, unlike how Pokémon GO emphasizes competition between the te
The bulk of Wizards Unite ‘s gameplay seems to revolve around things called “Foundables.” These are defined by the game’s official website as “artefacts, creatures, people, and even memories” that are for some reason appearing in the Muggle world, aka our reality. Players are part of a special Ministry Of Magic task force on a mission to track down these Foundables and return them to the Wizarding Wo
Things get less promising, though, when you read the section after Ron’s encounter. The dev team states that Foundables can be found anywhere, but that “certain Foundables may be more likely to appear at various types of real-world locations including parks, banks, municipal buildings, college campuses, libraries, monuments, zoos, art galleries, and mo
As a small studio, however, Niantic could only do so much. It made sense, then, for Pokéstops to be in the exact same locations as Ingress portals. It even used a lot of the same systems for things like spawn rates and item product
This new information leaves some wondering if Wizards Unite will be more than similar to Pokémon GO . Perhaps it could be a straight-up copy. Would Niantic really be so bold as to put out the same game with a pointy hat on it? Let’s break down what we k
Originally announced in 2020 and forecast for release in 2021, the game went dark for long enough for fans to worry it had met its end. An announcement from Paradox finally admitted they had taken the project away from Hardsuit Labs, and that its development would be undertaken by a different studio. After a few more years of radio silence, fans gave up hope until another announcement in September 2023 proved that the Adventure Game Patch Notes has awoken from torpor and will release in 2
Most horror games tend to focus on single-player experiences, but that doesn’t mean a multiplayer horror game isn’t good for some scares as well. Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric multiplayer game where one player takes on the role of a deranged, sometimes supernatural serial killer as they hunt down player-controlled survivors and mount them on meatho
