🧠 “Therapy Simulator 2025”
✅ Recommended | 9.5 hrs

I downloaded The Outlast Trials thinking it was just spooky co-op fun. You know — run from some guys, solve a puzzle or two, laugh with friends.

What I got was a full-blown psychological experiment with group trust issues, gaslighting, and enough screaming to scare my downstairs neighbors.

My squad went from “we’re in this together” to “you distract him while I hide in this very tiny, very locked box.”

🔋 Ran out of night vision batteries and had to wander in the dark like a blind, terrified Roomba.
🧠 Got chased while carrying a brain in a jar. Dropped the brain. Blamed my team.
😬 My mic picked up the sound of my soul leaving my body during one jumpscare.

In summary: This game is proof that therapy is optional when you can just relive trauma every session.

10/10, recommended with strong coffee and a backup pair of pants.

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a tiny raincoat-wearing child running for your life in a world where everything wants to eat, squash, or scream at you? Welcome to Little Nightmares, where childhood fears come to life, and the only thing scarier than the grotesque monsters is your own inability to jump at the right time.

From the moment you step into the eerie Maw, the game whispers, "Hey, remember that time you thought something was under your bed? Well, what if it was ten feet tall, wheezing, and had a diet consisting solely of you?" Every room is like a beautifully crafted horror story, except you’re the main character, and the plot is just survive, dummy!

The puzzles are clever, the atmosphere is dripping with dread, and the enemies range from “Oh no” to “I’M GOING TO DELETE THIS GAME.” Shoutout to the Long-Armed Janitor—who somehow smells my fear through the screen—and the Twin Chefs, who have a combined IQ of a stale loaf of bread but will yeet you into a pot faster than you can scream.

And let’s not forget the ending. Oh boy, that ending. I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say Six isn’t as innocent as that little raincoat makes her look.

Final verdict? If you enjoy nightmares, heart-pounding chases, and questioning your moral compass, this game is a must-play.

So, I thought it would be fun to play Phasmophobia with some friends. You know, a little ghost hunting, some lighthearted jumpscares, and a spooky atmosphere. Harmless, right? WRONG. This game is basically a paranormal stress test designed to see how quickly you’ll betray your friends when faced with supernatural horror.

At first, everything seems chill. You grab your ghost-detecting gadgets, walk into an eerie abandoned house, and start asking questions like some kind of low-budget Ghostbusters. Then, things take a turn: lights flicker, doors slam shut, and suddenly, your buddy Kyle is whispering “I hear footsteps” before his mic cuts out permanently. Congratulations, Kyle is now a ghost too.

The game features top-tier voice recognition, meaning when you nervously mutter “I think it’s fine,” the ghost takes it as a personal challenge. You also quickly learn that saying its name repeatedly is the fastest way to see the afterlife. Oh, and if you thought hiding in a closet was a good idea, let me introduce you to the concept of getting absolutely yeeted by a vengeful spirit through the drywall.

Pros:
✔️ Incredibly immersive
✔️ Great for testing friendships
✔️ Watching your friends scream and run in circles is priceless

Cons:
❌ Game might summon real-life demons (unconfirmed, but I’m not taking chances)
❌ No refund for lost dignity
❌ Ghosts do not respect personal space

Final Verdict: Phasmophobia is an incredible experience that will make you laugh, cry, and possibly develop trust issues.

MultiVersus is a ton of fun! You can fight with characters from different franchises, and the action is fast and exciting. Great for fans of brawlers and cool crossovers.

Rec Room is a blast! It’s a super fun VR game where you can chill with friends, play cool mini-games, and explore creative spaces. It’s perfect for hanging out and having a good time with your friends.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a blast! You get to build and run your own dinosaur park, and the graphics are amazing. With tons of dinos and cool management features, it’s perfect for anyone who loves dinosaurs.

Ah, Dead by Daylight, the game that masterfully blends horror, teamwork, and the sheer thrill of blaming your teammates for everything that goes wrong. Whether you’re getting chased by a seven-foot-tall murder machine or failing skill checks like your life depends on it (because it literally does), every match is a new adventure in terror and frustration.

As a survivor, you’ll experience the joys of crouching in a bush for five minutes straight, only to get spotted instantly when you finally decide to move. You'll develop an irrational hatred for crows and wonder why your character breathes so loud when hiding. And let’s not forget the classic panic vault—where you leap over a window like an action hero when you meant to sneak through quietly.

Playing as a killer is just as fun, but in a different way. You’ll feel like an unstoppable force of death… until a squad of toxic flashlight-wielding survivors blind you into an existential crisis. Then, after they body-block you for the third time, you’ll start questioning your life choices.

The real horror, though? Solo queue teammates. Nothing strikes fear into the heart like watching your random teammate farm you off the hook directly in front of the killer. And let’s not forget the guy who spends the whole match crouched in a corner, only to sprint to the exit gates once everyone else is dead.

In conclusion, Dead by Daylight is an great and fun game! 10/10

Review: Assetto Corsa (With Content Manager & Mods)

Assetto Corsa by itself is like buying a perfectly good sandwich. It’s nice. It’s respectable. You could eat it and go "Yes. That is food."

----------------------------------------------

But then you install Content Manager, Custom Shaders Patch, and Sol and suddenly your sandwich now has 14 kinds of imported cheese, a toasted brioche bun, and someone is hand-feeding it to you while an Italian man whispers passionately about tire pressure.

----------------------------------------------

With Content Manager installed, Assetto Corsa becomes less of a game and more of a lifestyle decision. You start thinking things like:

"Do I need 300 different Nissan Skylines? Yes. Obviously."

"This is a 1983 toaster model mod that drives around Nordschleife? Download immediately."

"Sure, I’ll spend my entire evening adjusting one bloom setting."

----------------------------------------------

Driving with mods is glorious. One minute you’re cruising a realistic recreation of Tokyo at night with accurate traffic. The next minute you’re racing Thomas the Tank Engine doing 280 km/h while Mario Kart music blasts. The possibilities are endless and also deeply concerning.

----------------------------------------------

The physics? Chef’s kiss. Cars feel like cars, not soap bars on ice like some other racing titles I won’t name because I value my safety. Every drift feels earned, every crash feels personal, and every lap is sponsored by your inability to brake like a reasonable adult.

----------------------------------------------

Things You Will Say While Playing:

“Why is the grass so slippery???”

“Okay one more lap” four hours later

“I swear this setup worked yesterday”

“This is the most realistic rain I’ve ever seen in my life” (while adjusting 47 sliders)

----------------------------------------------

Final Rating:

Base Assetto Corsa: 7/10 Nice Car Sim

With Content Manager: 12/10 I Have Ascended

----------------------------------------------

Assetto Corsa + Content Manager doesn’t just improve the game.
It awakens something inside you.
Something powerful.

----------------------------------------------

Call of Duty is a thrilling shooter that offers fast-paced action and great graphics. It’s a blast for anyone who loves intense combat and exciting multiplayer matches.

eFootball™ 2024 is a disappointing entry in the football simulation genre. The game suffers from clunky controls, inconsistent AI, and frequent technical issues that break immersion. Its graphics feel outdated, and the lack of game modes and content makes it feel limited compared to its competitors. Despite some improvements over previous versions, the game still lacks the polish and depth needed to compete with other football games.
