It's been a while since this writer last posted here. In my last post I shared a review of ghost-hunting horror game, Demonologist. That post deserves an update as there's been a lot of controversy around the game as it suddenly and unexpectedly came out of Early Access with no fanfare or announcement. I'll get to that next year, though. Today, we're going to reflect on 2023 and I'll share with you my favourite games from the past twelve months. Starting with...
It will come as no surprise to those who know me that I am a huge horror fan; movies, books, even videogames. I just love all things horror! And of course I've played plenty of horror games over the years: F.E.A.R, Fallout, Dead By Daylight, Resident Evil, Phasmaphobia. The list goes on. So when a new horror game hit the virtual shelves earlier this year, of course I jumped on it. Rumoured to take horror to the next, fully immersive, level using Unreal Engine, I was keen to see how it stacked up compared to the reigning champion of ghostly horror games, Phasmaphobia. I will be reviewing Phasmaphobia very soon by the way but, *spoiler alert*, since it's been dethroned as reigning champ by Demonologist I'm waiting on their next big update which promises to change up a lot about the game and give it a new lease of life. For now, though, let's talk about Demonologist.
