World of Horror Review (PC)

How can a horror game with a graphical look pulled straight from a black-and-white 1980s Apple IIe manage to instill fear and dread?

EVERSPACE 2 Jumps Into Early Access

It seemed like nearly every big and not-so-big game suffered multiple delays as teams had to cope with wildly changing work conditions. EVERSPACE 2 was no exception, with their open beta slipping out of December and into a black hole with an unknown exit vector. However, that exit is a mystery no longer, with deve...[Read More]
