Gore Doctor PS5 Review

Gore Doctor on PS5 is another game sent to me by Ultimate Games and is proof that every company is going to make a game that just isn’t good. If you don’t feel like reading the entire review I am about to write, that’s fine, I didn’t want to keep playing this game. Long story short, the only people who should play this game are people being punished for crimes against animals and children.

The story starts great, you are kidnapped by a crazy doctor trying to rescue his wife, whom he is desperate to save. As she dies, he becomes more and more insane, and you have to survive and escape.

The story sounds great, and it is too bad that every decision made from there when making the game, destroys the experience. The lighting is horrible, to the point that even with a flashlight, you can’t see much of anything. I don’t mean this in the it is scary way, I mean this in the game is damn near unplayable way. I had other people play the game on different TVs in hopes, maybe I was just being overly sensitive, and even messing with our settings didn’t help.

You might be asking about in-game settings, well, there aren’t any. If this weren’t bad enough, the controls are pretty much as good as the lighting of the game. They are largely unresponsive and slow. The combat makes this painfully obvious.

There are some cool aspects to it; however, the gore in Gore Doctor is no lie, and it is pretty cool. Seeing a guy killed with a giant buzzsaw was great. The story is as good as any slasher film I have ever seen. The game is short as well, which normally isn’t a good thing, but in this case, you will be grateful.

As for a score? I hate to do this to a company whose games I normally enjoy, but I truly can not give this game more than a 4/10. It functions at a basic level, and there is some enjoyment to be had for some people. I just don’t know those people. Avoid this game like the main character should avoid doctors. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dead Relives release date trailer

It’s fairly rare when I see a trailer for a horror game that makes me wonder what the hell is actually going on. This is a pretty good example of one. The visuals are interesting and definitely eye-catching. The trailer keeps its story close to the chest, making me pretty intrigued about what’s actually going on. I’ll be keeping an eye out for it in the future. May the gaming god’s bring you glory.

Cronos: The New Dawn gameplay overview

Lately I’ve been keeping a special eye on Cronos, which looks to satisfy my craving for survival horror games in the vane of Dead Space and Resident Evil. It was cool to get a lil bit of clarity on what the game’s going to be like firsthand. What sold me is how the monster’s will rebuild themselves off of the corpses of there own kind. I’m excited to see what Bloober Team has in store for us. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Alan Wake 2

13 years since we last joined writer Alan Wake and his battle against the otherworldly Dark Presence. 13 years since he went missing in Cauldron Lake, a new threat has emerged in Bright Falls. Violent rituals being perpetrated by a cult seemingly inspired by Wake’s works have attracted FBI attention. Agent Saga Anderson and her partner Alex Casey are on the case- quickly realizing nothing is how it seems and Bright Falls has more than a murder cult and a cast of strange characters to contend with. Reality is being rewritten and the Dark Presence is returning, this time under the guise of the malevolent Mr. Scratch. As Saga’s history comes crashing down, the mystery of all mysteries is what happened to Alan Wake?

Alan Wake remastered was a solid action experience with a great story and some really irritating parts. Wake 2 is a modern horror masterpiece. The story is absolutely fascinating with plenty of twists and character development. Visually, the game is incredible, blending animation and live action flawlessly. The gameplay is improved but overall the game is more difficult; full disclosure, I sucked at this game because I’m the worst pathfinder in existence and I rushed through many of the goodies that would have helped a lot for the endgame. I was impressed how genuinely errie and tense the game gets, especially in the second half. Poets of the Fall return with new bangers as the Old Gods of Asgard, including a great live performance with the cast. What gripes I have are pretty small- I wasn’t a fan of the upgrade system for weapons, the reality shifts as Wake himself get confusing, and the game requires a learning curve for Saga’s mind place and Alan’s writing room but they don’t really subtract from the game for me. I will warn you, the real ending appears after the second playthrough on the Final Draft, but both endings are damn good. In the end, I highly recommend this if you love old sci-fi, classic David Lynch and Stephen King, or want a different kind of horror game. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Crisol: Theater of Idols trailer

I want to take a second and talk about a game I haven’t seen much buzz about that I think deserves some. I love the vibe I got, feeling close to Lies of P and Resident Evil VIII: Village . I really liked the aesthetic and that it does look fun, which can be rare in survival horror. I’m excited to see more about this game come out. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Borderlands 4 story trailer

After the lackluster story of Borderlands 3 , am I excited for 4? The game looks fun. But I gotta admit Randy Pitchford’s comments about the real Borderlands fans being willing to pay $80, like many gamers in our very harsh American economy, rightfully pissed me off. It’s going to be a long time if I even decide to pick up BL4 but from everything I’ve seen, the game basically looks like business as usual for the series. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Silent Hill F trailer

So I gushed over Resident Evil 9 reveal trailer but there was another trailer at 2025’s State of Play that really hit me. I’d never gotten into Silent Hill but I loved the lore, imagery, and music. F looks a fresh take on the classic franchise. The graphics and atmosphere look great and my curiosity is piqued at the story. I’m incredibly excited to experience a new entry in this beloved series. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Resident Evil 9 reveal trailer

It’s finally here! I’ve followed any news I could since Resident Evil VIII: Village, wondering where the story would go now that Ethan’s story is finished. We’re introduced to our new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, who’s wrapped up in her own mysterious story. If this is your first time seeing the trailer, I don’t want to spoil a very familiar locale, just that I freaked out as well as the title drop. RE: Requiem is dropping 2 weeks after my birthday, and this is absolutely my most anticipated of 2026. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Prey

Have you ever had that 1 game that haunted you? You wanted to get into it, pmped hours in, but never never clicked. Prey is one such game for me. Long time followers will know I wrote mini posts on my time with it nearly a decade ago. In my time away, I managed to finish it and months later my thoughts are still pretty potent.

We play as Morgan Yu, newly brought onto the Talos 1 space station by your brother to get a new life, with a fancy new job and life. Life looks great. That is until Morgan wakes up to catastrophe as a inky, black, extraterrestrial called the Typhon unleashing on the station. The Typhons can mimic nearly anything, living or inanimate as well as possess extraordinary abilities. Not only must Morgan survive but also uncover Talos’s secret while struggling to stay human, but then again, what is human?

So Prey is a hell of an experience. At first, I was expecting Bioshock in space. There are some pretty deep questions about humanity and identity in the game and it is a creative sim unlike no other. The number of solutions to problems is pretty impressive. The AI for the Typhons is pretty damn smart; you are tense because literally anything can be an enemy. Resources are scarce, and enemies hit extremely hard, and you do have to think about each encounter which is one of my favorite things about the game but also why I hate it. Normal for prey is hard on any other game. Story mode is the medium setting. This game will kick your ass if you aren’t a surviaal, stealth, horror veteran. The only complaint I truly have is the pathfinding is rough; you’re definitely going to be looking up videos because many times during my playthrough, the hub confused and mislead me. The setting is beautifully rendered. The music fits like a glove. I seriously recommend this game with caution because while not an easy game, there is a lot of great things to experience. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Fantastic 4: First Steps trailer

Ok, so long time followers know I love Marvel’s First Family. I wrote a piece a while ago about what I wanted from them in the MCU ( What to do with Fantastic 4? ).

They’re here, along with bringing Silver Surfer and Galactus into the MCU. I love the vintage vibe the movie is going for. Ebon Moss as the Thing looks perfect. Galactus is perfect so far. I like the golden age costumes. There’s a lot of potential but the more I think, the more I’m afraid of this thing. While not as wretched as Fant4stic, I’m still seeing a huge uphill fight for this thing. I think. Starting with Surfer and Galactus is very risky. The 4’s crap track record adds anxiety as well as the serious dip in MCU quality in general. The first test screenings being meh don’t really help either. Time will tell but I am still cautiously excited. May the gaming gods flame on!
