Secrets of Temple Isle is a great snapshot of Action-RPGs and how I remember them back in the early 2000's but with some extra sauce on top. Check out the review below! #indiegames #gamereview

missinginput.co.ukSecrets of Temple Isle ReviewRating: Recommend Available on: PC (Steam) Disclaimer: Secrets of Temple Isle was provided to MissingInput for free from the developer for review purposes. There's an old saying that many will surely be familiar with, the phrase I'm thinking of is: "Everything old is new again", this reflects on the idea that what we currently view as new and cool will inevitably be uncool from a later generations point of view, the cycle of pop culture life, however the second part of that phrase indicates that those same things will eventually wrap itself back around to becoming "new" and "cool" again.

Over the weekend I sunk my teeth into Out of Sight from Swedish developers The Gang. It surprised me in many ways, here is my review check it out below! #review #horror

missinginput.co.ukOut of Sight ReviewRating: Recommend! Available on: PC (Steam, Epic), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch I think it’s hard to overstate the effect that games like Limbo and Little Nightmares have had on horror games, while these games won’t boast the highest graphical fidelity they still manage to provide a scary experience to the player with their creative use of atmosphere coupled with music and the most important part, their artstyle.

I had a deep, fond love of Still Wakes the Deep, unfortunately that same love didn't transfer over to the newest DLC, Siren's Rest. Check the Review out below! #stillwakesthedeep #review

missinginput.co.ukStill Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest ReviewRating - Do Not Recommend It's not often that a horror game that hits so many positive points for me as Still Wakes the Deep did comes around. The offshore Scottish oil rig setting was unique and compelling, oozing atmosphere with a believable 70s setting with a varied range of characters and thick, believable Scottish accents. The continued destruction of the oil rig as you escape, and its use of eldritch horror, something us mere humans can't understand, was fantastic.

Starting as a scrappy indie horror game in a world of Resident Evil’s, Dead Space’s, and The Evil Within’s, Freddy Fazbear and his murderous band struck at the right time, giving the series creator and many Let’s Play and theorizing YouTubers a goldmine.
