Tell Me Why PC Review

      Tell Me Why   is hopeful in its approach to match its successful predecessor Life is Strange, and in some ways it does, but for the most part, it doesn't seem to ever hit the same. We follow Tyler and Alyson through their journey to piece together their past using their telepathic powers, to find out the truth about who their mother really was during their childhood. To Tyler, she seems to be more insatiable, but Alyson seems to make her out to be more forgiving, but what version is the truth? That'll be up to you to decide.     The biggest draw factor of conversation for the game, is the discussion of Dotnod's decision to make one of their protagonists (Tyler), transgender. I think it was a smart move to make, considering that there needs to be more inclusion of the LGBTQIA community in media, if we are ever going to reach wide acceptance. There are a few consequences within the story itself that complicate the decision, such as, referring back to Ty...

Blair Witch PC Review

BLAIR WITCH: A DREADFUL SUSPENSE     My time with Blair Witch caused me to initially react with estrangement and boredom, as the navigation system throughout the woods, left me with no progression whilst exploring the landscape. It's overbearing sharpness on the screen caused a jarring motion blur that ultimately I had to turn off due to its compensating techniques for graphical precision. After some configuration and a few steps in the right direction, that's when the game finally hooked its teeth into me.     Although the beginning was a rough start, I was persistent to see it through, due to its higher reviews from other publications. And man, oh man. By the time the ball starts rolling, you are in for a roller coaster ride that is a straight shot into dreadful suspense that never leaves you until the credits roll. There are seventeen chapters of running through the woods, hoping to not get mutilated by whatever is controlling this PTSD nightmare, but it is never-...

The Last of Us Part II Review

      Love. That's how I would describe The Last of Us Part II, in both gameplay and in narrative arcs. Controversy has surrounded the title, from people's expectations not being met, to fans thinking the game focuses too much on a political agenda, but beyond the bullshit that it gets, it will still serve to be a historical trademark for the PS4 generation. So what is it that makes this game so special?        The love is powerful. Narrative and character development is the core of this game, with Naughty Dog striving to create relationships that will leave you both full of vitality and heartbroken from start to finish. After 26 hours of gameplay, I found myself encapsulated by the environmental landscapes that the game offers as a breath of fresh air from its intense gameplay. Its weapons, similar but with a few new features; Ellie's enemies, stronger, and the NPCs, personable.      Its most compelling feature is the new character des...
