Hidden & Dangerous 2 – Achtung, die Tommies! [Review]

This review will be on the original Hidden & Dangerous 2, without the expansion Sabre Squadron, which is now sold together over at Steam and GOG in one package called Hidden & Dangerous 2: Courage Under Fire. With that said, H&D 2 can be one of the best squad-based games ever made thanks to a fantastic engine and simulator approach to the gameplay. However, it’s not without problems that occasionally cause headaches, and its sloppily made final stretch of missions unfortunately drags down the experience. Let’s get into it!

The Road of Dust and Sorrow – Demo Impressions

Can the apocalypse be cozy? Yes, it can, at least going by The Road of Dust and Sorrow. However, that’s not to say that bad things won’t happen, because the end of the world is usually not a happy event (unless you are one of those zombie preppers, of course). Yet, there is something about the vibe in this game as you follow a mother and her adorable daughter, slowly traversing the dangers of mankind’s new existence to give us glimpses of humanity in the darkness.

False Oath – Demo Impressions

If you want old-school survival horror, and I mean truly old—medieval old—I have the perfect demo for you, named False Oath. From its visual style (PlayStation One graphics) to its mechanics, it just feels right, like it was dropped directly into our laps from the classic era. However, with one major difference: you will not shoot the living dead this time with your trusty 9mm pistol or dashing from ramshackle offices to industrial parks—you will be deflecting blows with your shield and slashing zombies in the neck with your longsword in a castle of old!

Milestone Reached!

It finally happened. A kind soul donated to the vault, to keep it fueled and ready for action! It is certainly a humbling experience—having someone you don’t know see value in your creation, as in actually being worth a monetary gift. It’s a new milestone for the site, that’s for sure. This means a new prestigious Hall of Legends page is now needed.

AI Dungeon in 2026 – The Yearning Shall Continue [Review]

If there is one gaming-related thing in 2026 that impresses me, it’s the current version of AI Dungeon. I remember trying it out in 2019 or so when it was released, and it wasn’t too enticing. A novelty for sure, getting semi-coherent messages back that could be interpreted as an adventure—but it was rough, that’s the least I can say. However, trying it now in 2026, it’s a totally different beast!

Dino Crisis – Regina’s Day Out [Review]

I have owned Dino Crisis for many years as a physical copy for the PlayStation One, but I have never finished it for some reason. I figured it was high time to do so now (20 years later). Better late then never, but it is somewhat surprising, since its right up my alley!

So, prepare for survival horror, with deadly dinosaurs acting like actual animals and a mysterious secret high-tech base to investigate. It can’t be more Crichton, unless he would have written the story himself!
