I admire when a developer does something different. Acclaimed studio MercurySteam has gone through quite a journey over the last 20 years, developing games such as the Castlevania reboot and Metroid Dread in recent years. Now it seems like the studio is bravely developing a Souls-like with their own unique twist. Instead of finding weapons in some dank, damp old dungeon, or from the corpse of a space marine. How about forging your weapons in a divine, gamey way?

There is a trend in horror gaming in recent years, where the role of the survivor is put into the shoes of a child. Which makes logical sense, as even a fully grown man alone in a scary environment is utterly terrifying, let alone a child. But why not add another layer of tension here and have the child unable to see the terrors around them as they try and escape their confines?

The PlayStation One era was quite magical for a lot of reasons. The major graphical leap from primarily 16 and 32-bit, to 64-bit and full-on 3d polygons brought new depths and perspectives to gaming. And horror in the mid to late 90s boomed with Resident Evil and Silent Hill, to name a couple. I love the aesthetics, that low polygon, low fidelity feel with all the grimy vibes that give you so much but leave as much to the imagination. You know another great horror game? 2005’s Condemned.
