Escape From Playtime has some nice little touches that lend it a mischevious personality. But I do wonder if those little touches are going to be enough to sustain your interest in the long run. My preview for @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

'Escape From Playtime' Preview: 'Poppy Playtime' Universe Goes Co-Op With Mixed Results Ahead Of Early Access

While 'Escape From Playtime' strictly appeals to those outside of the 'Poppy Playtime' fandom, there are flashes of it breaking out.

SILENT HILL: TOWNFALL is another resounding success for the Motoi Okamoto-era, although not without its flaws. I have not stopped thinking about it.

Awesome piece. I docked half a star from my own review because of the same puzzle that frustrated you near the end. I’m not sure how I was supposed to intuit the meaning of those symbols, other than by taking up a career in engineering.

The thing that surprised me most about Silent Hill: Townfall is how politically charged its story is, and how much it makes of its British identity. My review for @bloody-disgusting.com

I can similarly affirm that, if I used even a hint of A.I. in my articles for the site, they wouldn’t be half as smug, nor as insufferably overwritten. That’s a Harrison Abbott guarantee

I do think, to a certain extent, that the first couple of weeks is often the best time to play these things. Before the ultra committed players learn all the exploits, figure out the overpowered perk combos, stop playing in the right spirit, and generally impose their own rules on the game.

Harrison Abbott @harrisonabbott.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I really think that (alongside the fact that Michael actually feels like Michael and not just any other random slasher) is the game’s greatest asset right now. Hopefully it isn’t undermined once the inevitable dickheads descend upon lobbies

Harrison Abbott @harrisonabbott.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I agree with that 100%. The reason Dead by Daylight never grabbed me in the same way as F13 (despite the latter’s jank) is that its matches don’t capture that slasher movie dynamic. Unless there’s a film I’ve not seen in which overconfident victims just taunt an increasingly beleaguered killer

Harrison Abbott @harrisonabbott.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

When working as intended, Halloween: The Game is a blast and one of the most promising asymmetrical horror titles I’ve played in a while. Alas, there’s a pretty big qualifier in that last sentence that’s doing a lot of heavy lifting. My review for @bloody-disgusting.com

Almost every mechanic in The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is filtered through the lens of either cosmic horror or seventeenth-century monasticism, leading to some ingenious twists on well-worn extraction shooter tropes. My review for @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

EVIL DEAD BURN goes scorched earth with the grimmest, goriest and most stylishly uncompromising take on the series. It fully commits to its burning motif with an abusive French Extremity twist that leans heavily on the cruelty exhibited in the 2013 version. Still darkly comedic, but way more bitter
