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. Hellraiser: Revival is a first-person action-horror game that puts you in the shoes of Aidan Lynch, who has made the mistake of toying with one of Hellraiser's iconic puzzle boxes, the supernatural cube designed to open a gateway to hell.

Arizona Sunshine 2 Review - The Walking Shred

Arizona Sunshine 2 Review - The Walking Shred https://ift.tt/87DlUmG

The first time I played Arizona Sunshine 2, I left feeling a bit nauseated, but I soon realized this was due to my time spent away from playing VR games. The second time I played Arizona Sunshine 2, I was quickly overwhelmed by its hordes of undead and left feeling like the game was perhaps unbalanced. By the third time I put on my Quest 3 headset, I'd rediscovered my proverbial sea legs, I'd mastered the art of zombie crowd control, and I enjoyed the game for what it is: an arcadey trek through the apocalypse.

As mentioned, at first I found this so difficult that I assumed I failed to account for something--a skill move, or a control option, or something. It turns out I just needed a little practice. Like a lot of VR shooters, you can do yourself huge favors by mastering the reload animation.
