Playing either in handheld or docked mode with a controller, in this case a 8BitDo SN30 Pro, works perfectly well, much like on other consoles. As a survivor, juking the killer and hugging corners is a simple process with the dual analog sticks, and at no point were there any unpleasant surpri
Though it is a sequel by name, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is not a sequel by nature, taking place in a different city and allowing players to don the fangs of a different vampire. Set in Seattle, players take on the role of a freshly awoken elder vampire, able to choose from four of the vampire clans from the pen-and-paper RPG , with more likely released as DLC following the game’s rele
Premiere Picks: Helix (Syfy) from Battlestar Galatica creator Ronald D. Moore; True Detective (HBO), starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson; Sherlock (PBS) season 3; Black Sails (Starz); and (A&E) and BBC America’s Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond mini-ser
February starts off slow, as far as television premieres goes, thanks to the Winter Olympics; however the second week of month brings both the return of The Walking Dead season 4 on AMC and the premiere of House of Cards season 2 on Netf
The phrase ‘development hell’ is one that is likely to send shivers down the spines of gamers everywhere. When games face severe delays during the development process with no finite end date in sight, it is often a death knell, resulting in the cancelation of some very ambitious proje
Similarly, Yun-Jin Lee doesn’t stand out too much against her fellow survivors. While her skills aren’t necessarily unique, they do help out other players in small ways, such as suppressing blood, scratch marks, and grunts of p
January starts off with the highly-anticipated premiere of Community season 5, and then the world of television jumps backs in to gear as all of your favorite shows begin making their return from the holiday hia
We often seek to review games based only on their merit alone. However, in this case, we must address the similarities to Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight . This is a Adventure Game Reviews that released a full year before Friday the 13th in 2016, and to this day still receives meaningful updates to its content. It’s received multiple releases of new characters (both survivors and killers from a broad range of horror franchises), new levels, and cosmetics. Friday the 13th, meanwhile, has been rather lackluster in terms of content or content upda
Only one piece of the gameplay took a while to get used to, and that was the skill checks associated with actions like repairing a generator or healing. One hears a familiar sound that the skill check is about to begin, and then a circle appears on screen with a smiling needle that players must stop with the “L” button within a small range. I missed far too many of these skill checks for the first couple of ho
A Binding of Kin is great in concept but terrible in execution. The Twins make for a terrifying Killer, and the ability to swap between Victor and Charlotte is an interesting change of pace. Unfortunately, they’re built for camping. Seeing Victor on dark maps is next to impossible which makes playing against this killer annoying, and sitting around waiting for hooked Survivors to die isn’t fun for the Killer eit
The holidays are now over, and 2014 is upon us, and with it comes a television premiere/return schedule even more complicated than in the fall. As old and new favorites return from break, even more old and new shows will begin to premiere, and it will be up to you to decide what to and, more importantly, what not to wa
For that reason, the caveats listed above regarding long-term playability demand consideration. The score below indicates that this is a great game with some flaws, but assumes there is an online community. It does not take into account the potential of a rapidly diminishing player base, which is likely to oc
A review code for Dead by Daylight was provided to TheGamer for this review. Dead by Daylight is available for the Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with a mobile port planned for release in November of this y
The Nintendo Switch release comes with nine killers, ten survivors, and three cosmetic packs. Other characters are available for purchase in the game, while more will be available in future releases. Note that Steve Harrington from Stranger Things in the image below is an example of a character that must be purchased in the in-game store. Oddly enough, some DLC is not available for purchase, namely Leatherface and Fre
Dead by Daylight is set to release for the Switch on September 24th, less than six weeks from now, at a similar price point to Friday the 13th and with all current DLC included. Comparisons of the quality of the two games aside, the player base for Dead by Daylight is large and healthy, where the one for Friday the 13th is not. The question is, will Friday the 13th have an adequately sized player base following the release of Dead by Daylight to maintain online p
