HyperCore is a rhythm bullet hell game that blends classic bullet hell shoot 'em up with procedurally generated content and music. It's a simple game that's easy to learn, where the goal is to avoid the dangers and make it to the end of the track. However, while the concept is simple, this is a tricky game that rewards precision, risk-taking and mastery. The demo isn't too long, but it's a fun experience. Created by Gameinaframe, HyperCore: Rhythm Bullet Hell is due to release later this year and is sure to make some waves. HyperCore does have a story mode with a story attached. The story is told through two characters who talk via a cyberpunk visual-novel-style screen between levels. It's clear there's a deeper and more extended story to come..

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...
