Alan Wake 2 review: singular, hyperbolic horror

It’s imposter syndrome writ large, and honestly, Remedy are pretty on the money with this one. Horace isnota pretty taskmaster when the words stop coming. Then again, leaving these unsolved didn’t seem to matter much when I reached the conclusion. Oh, and it has a weird Janitor chap called Ahti as well. Alan’s sections are even more nerve-shredding, too. This is not a critcism, I should add. Until, sadly, it doesn’t....

“Only with careful performance will the victim yield maximum effect.” The most ghoulish of Amnesia’s many ghoulish ideas is “vitae”. But whatisvitae, exactly? Vitae is a psychosomatic substance extracted from the bodies of tortured beings, and especially, human beings. “Only with careful performance will the victim yield maximum effect.” “Careful performance” may involve appeals to the imagination. Simply presenting the instruments of torture can be as effective as using them....

Cities: Skylines 2's new editor tool looks neat

Today they released a first video of its upcoming editor tool, however, and it looks neat. The editor looks like it’ll take a step towards justifying my no-basis, glass-half-full belief. There’s no date on when these modding tools will launch yet, only that they’re expected soon.
