Hellraiser: Revival Goes Out Of Its Way To Ensure You’re Uncomfortable

Hellraiser: Revival Goes Out Of Its Way To Ensure You’re Uncomfortable https://ift.tt/2Y8nez3 Hellraiser: Revival drops players into the world of Clive Barker's cult horror franchise, as developer Saber Interactive aims to bring a faithful Hellraiser experience that doesn't hold back on making you uncomfortable. GameSpot was able to go hands-on at Gamescom, and our play session with Revival definitely delivered tension and unease, as well as an exciting new gameplay element.

Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Review - Robots In Decline

Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Review - Robots In Decline https://ift.tt/G5UgVXA

For a while, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts looked like it might be another Bumblebee--a Transformers movie that lacks any of the pizzazz of the Michael Bay flicks but which actually tells a decent story about characters you actually care about. For the first 45 minutes to an hour, we get the most compelling and relatable version yet of the story about a regular person accidentally becoming friends with an alien robot who was secretly a car. But then the plot really kicks in, and suddenly we're watching a Michael Bay Transformers movie--but without Bay's skill as an action filmmaker.

When Michael Bay was directing Transformers movies, they weren't exactly pinnacles of storytelling. In fact, they had awful stories that never even made sense together--each new movie would open with some reveal that made every previous movie make even less sense than they already did.
