While You Wait For The Phasmophobia Movie, Don’t Miss This Hidden Gem

While You Wait For The Phasmophobia Movie, Don’t Miss This Hidden Gem https://ift.tt/d5ECxWO An official Phasmophobia movie is on the way; we learned as much last summer . But what if I said you could watch something quite like Kinetic's ghostbusting co-op game right now?  That's the elevator pitch I bring you, fellow horror fans, less than two weeks out from Halloween. The movie is Never After Dark, a gorgeously shot, cleverly creepy ghost story that Phasmophobia fans shouldn't miss. Never After Dark tells the story of Airi, a young woman who can commune with ghosts. She works as a traveling intermediary between the dead and the living, convincing spirits to move on and freeing residents from their hauntings. But on her latest gig, she discovers she's taken on a much harder assignment. And wow, that assignment looked really familiar in such a fun way. Never After Dark has been described as a "J-Horror revival" project, recalling the ghost storie...

Destiny 2: The Final Shape Review-in-Progress

Destiny 2: The Final Shape Review-in-Progress https://ift.tt/oIQX2bf

It's impossible to think about The Final Shape without the context of the last 10 years, seven other Destiny 2 expansions, and four original Destiny expansions, plus the campaigns that came with the releases of both games. This eighth Destiny 2 expansion is, to some degree, the culmination of the somewhat haphazard decade-long journey that the first game spawned. And while the story itself hasn't always been consistently building toward a conclusion, there's a clear, mostly positive evolution across all those steps that informs what The Final Shape is to Destiny as a whole.

I've noted in the past when expansions were high water marks for Destiny 2 as a game, but this is something else. The Final Shape isn't just another step forward in a long march of progress, but a leap. At least so far, two days in, The Final Shape is as close as Destiny has ever gotten to the original promise of the game when Bungie first described a shared-world sci-fi fantasy shooter set in a strange and far-flung future. This isn't just Destiny 2 as the best it's ever been--this is Destiny 2 as it always should have been.

It all starts with a story campaign that tosses you into the Pale Heart of the Traveler in a bid to stop the Witness, Destiny 2's long-gestating ultimate villain, from using the game's convoluted physics-ignoring powers to rewrite reality. It's immediately apparent that developer Bungie has taken a different tack from how it usually approaches these chapters, trading overcomplicated, jargony plots for a focus on Destiny 2's main cast of characters as they head toward a potentially world-ending confrontation. The Final Shape is easily the best story Destiny has ever told in an expansion, clearly laying out what is at stake and, at least emotionally, how it'll work, and setting players on a journey straight from point A to point B and a final confrontation with the Witness.
