    The Quarry is to video games what most slashers of the ’90s are to movies: a guilty pleasure in dire need of a breath of fresh air. Despite it all, playing the latest title from Supermassive Games is bonkers if you get its numerous references and dismiss an uneven rhythm and some pointless gameplay phases. Fortunately, its story, its characters and above all its charming aesthetic are enough to keep you around for a while.

So many different options and endings has me starting the game again to try for a different ending. Some of the graphics need some tweaking on Xbox X but overall a stunning game. Loved it!… Full Review »

Jacob, the straightCreated an account specifically to comment on how terrible this lefty, degenerate, **** interactive movie (not a game) is. Jacob, the straight white guy, is portrayed as an absolute weak, moronic **** to nobody's surprise. The Asian chick is an expert marksman because of course female and minority empowerment. These developers couldn't write a competent story or characters if it bit them in the arse.

    There are two possibilities here. One, the development team is full of alpha widows that portray the jocks that pumped and dumped them in real life in a way that satisifies their bitterness of not being able to keep them around or two, this studio is full of cucked Communists that are doing everything in their power to emasculate and villanise white men like every single other person in the media is doing too. Terrible story, terrible plot, terrible monsters that look like they haven't even loaded into the game properly, creepy facial animations, social commentary, pandering to people that don't play these games, abysmal ending. The only reason I'm even making reference to anything beyond the propaganda piece that this trash is is so that the moderate wimps that think calling out said propaganda is nonsensical and bitter can actually have a position to defend that doesn't involve their offended emotions.

    Another example of why video games in 2022 are a dead medium and need to be boycotted completely. I haven't even mentioned the terrible business practices that came from these amateur developers joining up with 2K so they really are the most scummy, degenerate, talentless game makers that exist in the industry today, and that's saying something when Rockstar and EA exist.

    Not worth £6, let alone £60. These products need all of the shaming and boycotting that they deserve. And go watch Synthetic Man on YouTube if you want actual reviews and critiques of games that aren't afraid to reveal the truth.

    Metacritic, learn how to format your mobile site because writing this review is giving me cancer. Amateur hour continues. The whole tech industry is "maintained" by complete hacks.    … Full Review »

    For context I've played through the game twice (everyone lives & everyone dies)

    - This is far less scary than their previous work
    - A far less interesting story, with no twists or turns
    - A lack of meaningful choice (chapters 1-9 are almost identical regardless of what you do)
    - You are funneled down the same path every play-though
    - 90% of quick time events are meaningless and you cannot fail
    - Character relationships are meaningless,

    - The characters are very deep and well fleshed out
    - Beautiful game with a great art style and 80s horror inspired themes    … Full Review »
