Pokémon Go is the older sibling of Wizards Unite , having been released three years ago in 2016. This has given Pokémon Go a lot of time to improve since its initial release. But more importantly, it gave Wizards Unite , which was also developed by Niantic, a lot to build

Wizards Unite introduces fortresses to take the place of gyms in Pokémon Go . Gym and raid battles (both of which take place at gym locations) are far from engaging. The player is basically left tapping at the screen until the conclusion of the battle, providing very little interactivity. Wizards Unite reinvents the idea of gyms with the creation of the fortress. Inside, each fortress are opportunities for engaging battles that can be fought alone or with friends. The game actively encourages you to respond with unique gestures when attacking and defending, making the experience much more interesting over

Upon entering the game, the player is informed of a calamity occurring in the wizarding world. Important artifacts, creatures, and even wizards are going missing. As well as, reappearing in the non-magic world, threatening to reveal the existence of magic to the muggles. It is the player's job to save the lost items (known as Foundables) and maintain the secret of magic. Adding a story to Wizards Unite not only made it more interesting but also created a reason for people to play the g

It's a bit of a shame that the DLC from the classic Evil Dead franchise couldn't have been groovier. Ash may be a great horror protagonist on the big and small screen, but in the game, he's one of the weakest surviv

Not every game succeeds in creating an immersive experience. Yet, Wizards Unite manages to create a world the player truly feels a part of. It's the little things: Choosing your Hogwarts house, picking your profession, designing your wand, and even stirring potions. These all come together to bring the wizarding world to life. In Pokémon Go the player can choose their team - that’s about it. You don't feel like your choices and actions play a larger role in the game's overall wo

Ingress is Niantic's first game, and it actually became a sort of audition for Pokémon GO . The story of Ingress is that creatures are appearing through portals opening in the real world. Players use their GPS to track down the portals. Portals are fixed into real-world locations and there are te

Shattered Bloodline had a lot of potential, but poor design led to much of the fanbase not enjoying it. The Spirit is certainly a terrifying killer and Adam Francis was okay as a survivor, but the Family Residence map for the Yamoaka Estate realm is why this DLC is so loat

Most horror games tend to focus on single-player experiences, but that doesn't mean a multiplayer horror game isn't good for some scares as well. Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric multiplayer adventure Game crafting guide where one player takes on the role of a deranged, sometimes supernatural serial killer as they hunt down player-controlled survivors and mount them on meatho

Five Nights at Freddy's has transcended gaming and become a multimedia phenomenon, spawning an endless stream of merchandise, novel adaptations, and an in-production feature film on top of numerous spinoffs and sequels. The game's premise is simple but effective, with players taking on the role of a security guard at a creepy Chuck E. Cheese knockoff restaurant called Freddy Fazbear's Pi

There’s some less-than-ideal quirks to the game I hope get ironed out before release, like the fact that the best strategy as a survivor with a killer on your tail is to run in circles around him to exploit the limited perspective. It’s a bit goofy as a survivor, but it mostly just feels clumsy and frustrating as the killer. As well, though the developer described how other maps will provide much different gameplay from the forest level they were showing off, it sounds like activating generators to power an escape door is the only objective survivors will ever be given. I’d really like to see some creativity there, because while the meat of the game is ultimately about the tension of being hunted and the procedurally generated levels will add some variety to every match, it’d be nice to have something else to do once in a while.

PT sees players moving through an endlessly looping hallway as they attempt to solve its complex, vague puzzles and avoid the disturbing, ghost-like woman that occasionally attacks them. It's unfortunate that the full game will never be released, but PT is still a landmark horror release that has gone on to inspire countless copyc
