Directive 8020 Review

14th May 2026

Directive 8020 marks the start of the second season of the Dark Pictures anthology, reminding us exactly why we love the series and the horror games created by Supermassive Games. This new game takes it in a very different direction, with some bold choices and necessary technical improvements, but it does fall short in a few areas. Despite this, Directive 8020 is a great start to Dark Pictures' second season of horror. For the first time in the series, Directive 8020 sends players into space. It focuses on a cursed shipwreck where the Cassiopeia is sent to scout for humanity's first exoplanet colony in desperate hope to escape a dying Earth. Of course, it doesn't go as planned. Blending witchcraft, monsters and modern slasher films to create a terrifying tale that's clearly inspired by Alien and The Thing - literally my favourite movies...

Pragmata Review

3rd May 2026

Pragmata is the newest release from Capcom, a brand new science fiction IP with a “dad and daughter” style narrative that feels similar to BioShock and God of War. In the best possible way, Pragmata feels like a game from the mid-2000s, and it highlights everything we love about gaming from that era. It puts emphasis on a specific gimmick while also executing the gameplay really well and offering an interesting story. Pragmata focuses on action first, so the story does have some issues, but this is still a fantastic title. After communication between Earth and a mining outpost on the Moon is suddenly cut off, Hugh Williams and his team are sent to investigate. However, he quickly discovers that the AI administrator called IDUS has gone rogue and is sending robots to eliminate the humans...

Albion Online Review

1st May 2026

Albion Online is a free-to-play MMORPG that first released in 2017 and since then, has gained over 5 million registered users and has been translated into 11 languages with no signs of losing popularity. Instead of using a set class system on character creation, Albion Online assigns class to equipment so players can change class as much as they want but, they do need to level up each class regardless. It's a simple system and one of the many reasons why players keep coming back. Albion Online is set in a medieval fantasy world where there is a strong lore background with ancient wars that split the world into factions and ending with Albion being hidden by mist. When the mist finally lifted, brave explorers began returning to the lost world. While there is lore, Albion has no set story, with the “story” being defined by the players themselves. It doesn't have a traditional linear questline with the quests focusing on individual player progress, economy, and conquest.
