Generators are the main objective for Survivors to complete, and the key to their escape. A previous patch raised how long it takes for Survivors to fully repair a generator to try and avoid 'gen-rush' games for more fun trials for every

One of the other extremely handy perks is to alert you when the killer is coming. You can hear their heartbeat when they get extremely close, but some of the perks give you a wider radius, or just inform you when the killer is in your line of vision even if you can't see them yet. That few seconds warning can be everything in a game like t

If you find a medical kit in one of the treasure boxes littered around the map, you can perform the skill checks on yourself. That way, if you get injured, there's no need to rely on someone else healing you up — find a quiet corner on your own, and get work

Pokémon Go has a cute feel, but Wizards Unite has gone for a more realistic aesthetic. Not only that, but there's so much more going on, even in the simple encounters that pop up while you're out and about. The scenes feature a variety of magical creatures and witches and wizards in lots of different scenarios. Production values are darn high h

Friday the 13th: The Game is a survival horror video game developed by IllFonic, first released in 2017 for the PC , Xbox One , PlayStation 4 , and has now ported to the Nintendo Switch . It plays similarly in theme to Dead by Daylight , with an almost identical premise. Although the port to the Switch performs adequately, the timing of the port is unfortunate in relation to another game coming in Septem

But if you level up your killer and gain perks through the bloodwebs, there will come a point where you can choose to kill the survivor rather than hook them. This will come with a gory animation depending on what killer you picked, and usually they're pretty creat

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite has just released, much to the delight of many Harry Potter fans. The game is made by Niantic, the same people who made Pokémon GO. The two games function in similar ways in that they both use mostly the same locations to gather supplies and participate in battles. They both also encourage collecting items and exploring the world around you through walk

January starts off with the highly-anticipated premiere of Community season 5, and then the world of television jumps backs in to gear as all of your favorite shows begin making their return from the holiday hia

The Dungeons and Dragons / Dead by Daylight collaboration was one no one saw coming, bringing two original new Survivors and iconic boss monster Vecna into the fog. They came with D&D- flavored perks, none quite as obvious as Bardic Inspiration, an actual mechanic from the tabletop ga

Certain perks and add-ons can trigger an aspect of gameplay called the Obsession, which means one player will be randomly selected to be the killer's main target. The Entity will appear at the bottom of the screen around their icon to let you know who it is, and a bunch of other things will be introduced. To summarise, it makes this person much easier for the killer to see and find, so if the Entity appears around your icon at the start of any match...

Reviews are mixed for Alien: Isolation, as not everyone appreciated the style of gameplay. Perhaps this game was ahead of its time, as many games take inspiration from Alien: Isolation today. The alien that you try to hide from is very intelligent, which makes the Adventure game updates painfully tri

But even though the concept of the game itself is pretty simple, there are a lot of mechanics to the game that take some practice, such as the skill checks required to repair generators. And if we dig even deeper, there's a lot that can be done in the game that players actually have no idea ab

After unlocking or rummaging through a chest, the next Survivor becomes injured, they are inflicted with the Broken status effect, which means they can't be healed by any means. But after a determined number of seconds, dependent on the perks' rarity, they are automatically healed. If players can evade the Killer's grasp, this perk can make the difference between life and de

Premiere Picks: Helix (Syfy) from Battlestar Galatica creator Ronald D. Moore; True Detective (HBO), starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson; Sherlock (PBS) season 3; Black Sails (Starz); and (A&E) and BBC America’s Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond mini-ser

With Wizards Unite , however, the items you collect don’t seem as relevant. These items are anything from magical creatures to artifacts and more, so it just feels a little more random and less cohesive. There's a bit less of a push to get out there and nab everything, as a res

There’s something so compelling about collecting different kinds of Pokémon. Since Pokémon GO keeps adding new Pokémon as it goes along, it’s impossible to really catch them all, which makes you want to keep going. The creatures are cute and exciting, and you really feel like a Pokémon trai
