Zack Burrows

Okay, time for a real introduction… My name is Zack and I’m a huge nerd who loves talking about video games, film, television, books, and all sorts of art/entertainment. I also run a video game review blog called Sight-In Games (link in bio). Let me know what you’re watching/playing/reading!

This is officially a James Spader in VisionQuest fan account.

I took some time off writing about virtual reality for personal reasons, but there's no better game for me to come back to than Terry's Terraforming. As the title suggests, molding planets to find the sweet spot is both entertaining and enlightening. Here is my review.

I love that Life is Strange: Double Exposure ends with a Marvel-esque “end credits scene” and goes as far as showing a black background with text saying “Max Caulfield will return”. Hell yeah. Can’t wait to pick up Reunion next time I go to the library.

I’ve been sick this weekend (boo!) but also lying in bed playing Life is Strange: Double Exposure (yay!) so I can’t complain too much.

Something I wish more people would realize.

Updated my game's demo with some new improvements! Performance boosts and updated visuals are in, for a smoother and better looking nightmare. Have fun! store.steampowered.com/app/4079950/... #indiegames #horrorgaming #ScreenshotSaturday

Better late than never, here is my review of Well Dweller! A wonderfully designed metroidvania, I wholeheartedly recommend this one for newcomers and veterans alike.

I know it’s been an awful day for gaming news, but I thought I’d reshare this for the evening crowd. If you’re looking for a fun and simple horror game for this Halloween season, House of Ashes is a great pick.

i think the games industry should have studios that exist

*deep frustrated exhale*

The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes takes Supermassive’s playable horror movie vibe and creates a wickedly fun “creature feature” that’s a blast to play either solo or in a group setting. Here’s my review: sightingames.wordpress.com/2026/10/21/r...

My review for The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is ready for tomorrow morning! Might not be the only horror review I have going up this week 👀

Look, I am angry. I know I'm not the only one. The amount of AI slop we see trying to find worthwhile games on Steam is overwhelming. So, to not be consumed by rage, instead I made this list of the most shameless excuses devs have written as AI content disclosures. Enjoy.

Also watched Hokum and HOT DAMN this one impressed me! Currently streaming on Disney/Hulu (at least in the U.S.) and an absolute must watch for fans of slow-burn horror. embed.letterboxd.com/zackburrows/...

I didn’t know Mattel had made their next film until I randomly saw a freaking Matchbox movie streaming on Apple. It’s largely forgettable, but not terrible. embed.letterboxd.com/zackburrows/...

Just finished the new Carrie and absolutely loved it! Such a fantastic modern reimagining driven by an electric cast. I have a lot of spoiler-y thoughts running through my head that I won’t share here, but I think there’s some interesting set up here for more projects 👀

Penguin Colony uses H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror to confront headfirst one of the worst permeating issues in our current society: fascism. Apart from the less-than-stellar movement as an all-seeing penguin, it is an adaptation that transcends gaming. My review.

I promise a review is coming at some point, but I’m on my third playthrough of The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes and marveling at its design. Every small decision matters, and the way the most innocuous choice can have a massive impact later on is staggering.

Silver Pines takes the best of the horror genre to create one of the most memorable adventures in recent years, in no small part due to its effective Metroidvania design. Our Review: pixelbytegaming.com/silver-pines...

34 is so young. Hug your loved ones and let them know how much they mean to you. 😢

I feel bad for everyone who hasn’t watched Star Wars: Visions. It’s an anthology series where each episode is helmed by a different Japanese animation studio. The final episode of this latest season, titled “Black”, might just be my favorite piece of animation this year.

Time To Wake Up is a first-person journey into the subconscious. Never fully grasping what the human psyche fights against, it's a worthwhile adventure that gives you something to process. Here is my review.

Yikes, I really disliked Evil Dead Burn. 😳 embed.letterboxd.com/zackburrows/...

My October Horror Game Rotation: The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes Martha is Dead The Quarry Resident Evil 6

That was a STRONG showcase for The Triple-i Initiative! Games I’m Interested In: Jiao Hun Revamp The Talos Principle III Gods With Badges Waltz & Jam Dandelion Void Isle Goblin Aftergods

Curse of Resthaven is debuting a new extended demo today, and I got a chance to try it early. I would be lying if I said I wasn't counting down the days until I can play the full game. Its gothic atmosphere is thick; its eldritch mystery alluring. Here is my preview.

Watched the first episode of Carrie tonight and that ending was a damn bold change to the story. I can’t wait to see where this goes 👀

Giving this an afternoon bump! There are some technical shortcomings (which will hopefully be patched) but Zero Company is a great introduction to the turn-based tactics genre and especially worth your time if you’re a Star Wars fan.

As someone who has never dabbled in theses kinds of tactics games, Star Wars: Zero Company completely surprised me and won me over. It’s not without flaws, but it’s a terrific game nonetheless. Here’s my review! sightingames.wordpress.com/2026/10/07/r...

Alrighty… my review for Star Wars: Zero Company is set for tomorrow! Really liking how this one came out 👀

I’m really bad at keeping up to date on everyone’s blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels, and Twitch streams, but I’m proud of all of you and constantly inspired by how many cool people are on here making great stuff!

Hold on to your current consoles, everyone! This is just going to get worse over the next few years, especially with the inevitable sticker shock of next-gen consoles looming in the distance.

For added context, here’s some of the monster trucks I’ve been having an almost 4-year-old introduce me to. Here’s Megalodon, Rhinomite, Tiger Shark, and Bone Shaker (don’t know what its actual name is, but this is the name he landed on lol)

Spent my morning babysitting, which means playing with Hot Wheels/monster trucks, eating peanut butter toast, building a fort, and watching The Lion King. Honestly? This has been one of the most peaceful and fun mornings I’ve had in a very long time.

Control Resonant explores what it means to go deeper into its cold, uncaring world, led by a protagonist who is all too eager to prove himself. pixelbytegaming.com/control-reso...

My girlfriend and I have been on a kick of watching early-to-mid 00’s film and television and decided to watch something that would be “new” to both of us… The O.C. We’re currently halfway through season 3 and honestly? This show has some truly great comedy and heart.

Starting work on my review for Star Wars: Zero Company 👀

I've had this stupid joke in my head for the past 3 weeks, I had to put it into drawing

Started off October by watching Hellraiser for the first time. Excellent practical effects, but almost nothing else about it worked for me and I don’t think I’ll be watching the rest of them. embed.letterboxd.com/zackburrows/...

We know it's been all doom and gloom lately in the gaming world so here is an indie metroidvania you most likely did not know released. Check out Jason's review of Clockwork Ambrosia from Realmsoft: www.deargamers.net/reviews/cloc...

I love Songs of Glimmerwick. A true folktale, it embraces lush art and rustic music to make you feel like a real witch attending a magic university. Even its farm sim elements feel novel thanks to its comfy use of spells. This is the gentle fantasy of my dreams. My review.

A bit later than I would've liked, but my video review of The Blood of Dawnwalker is finally live! Check it out here 👇

Shoutout to @marcusstewart7.bsky.social for the excellent GTA VI cover story! I was already looking forward to the game, but after reading his piece (which is free on the new Game Informer app!) I’m even more excited to just go and explore that world. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

This whole situation still doesn’t feel real and has left me heartbroken for the victim, disappointed and disgusted by Geller, and devastated for the crew at MinnMax.
