A still from the game Crow Country shows the purple-haired main character Mara in a standoff with a spindly humanoid creature

Crow Country is a darkly meditative callback to survival horror’s past

Inspired by some genre-defining PS1 classics, Crow Country is a force all its own.

Crow Country, which was released on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S on May 9, just about checks all the boxes for survival horror, but it takes a gentler approach to the genre, making it feel more like a test of mental endurance than a fight for your life.

Ninja Theory's sequel nails the vibe, and sometimes, that's all that matters.

Hellblade II is more of an extended, extremely anxious and violent vibe than a traditional adventure game.

Analogue Duo review: A second chance for an underappreciated console

Analogue's love-letter to the TurboGrafx-16 hits almost all the right marks.

Analogue's most expensive console in years and its first system with a CD-ROM drive is the ultimate ode to a forgotten gem. It's not quite perfect, but it's a great addition to any serious game collector's arsenal.
