Wrote a light analysis piece on Risk v. Reward (Trade-off) Mechanics in #videogames .
I examine how different genres such as #survivalhorror#rts and #strategy , as well as how titles like Ori and the Blind Forest and those by #FromSoftware utilize this mechanic either effectively or to their detriment.
So, thanks to its 3rd person mode a deep discount, I've begun playing #ResidentEvilVillage. I can't watch the cutscenes directly, unfortunately, because they're still in 1st person. However, if I don't look directly at the screen, I can still get the gist.
Been hearing a lot of buzz about 'Echoes of the Living', an indie survival horror game coming Q1 2024, which is part of Steam's Next Fest. Tried the demo last night and really quite enjoyed it.
It's very clearly a love letter to the 90s classic Resident Evil games, particularly RE2, from the two playable characters, to the documents and saving system, the inventory, the tank controls, the puzzles, and the zombie infestation plot. The demo doesn't reveal much of the story but the game looks beautiful, and it's even more impressive that it's coming from an indie studio of two people. Definitely gonna be keeping an eye on it when it comes out.
22 years ago #OTD Silent Hill 2 was released. Still one of the most complex, dark, and gripping titles of the survival horror genre. Touching upon themes of trauma, grief, guilt and punishment, and blending them with metaphor and the horror element in a way not many games had done before. Quite possibly the highlight of the entire Silent Hill franchise.
