Mikaela may not be the best survivor in the game , but her abilities can provide some much-needed healing for all players in the game, along with some powerful aura-reading abilities. Though, considering it was released as a chapter rather than a paragraph, it would've still been nice to see an equally creative and powerful adversary to go along with Mika


It will take approximately 4 hours to complete this game, but those who are new to first-person Adventure game missions games may take longer. Layers of Fear is a must play for those wanting to explore a haunted ho


Now in general, Wizards Unite has customization pretty much handled. However, the game is dropping the ball in one major area—your avatar. In Pokémon Go , your avatar is the only source of character customization and can take on many different looks. The avatar can be seen running across the map, the player menu, and is shown to friends. The avatar in Wizards Unite in comparison is a humanoid blob bearing the color of your chosen Hogwarts ho


The third DLC ever made fell flat with fans pretty quickly. Many liked the aesthetics of The Hag, but her hex-based skills proved difficult to wield and many were unwilling to main as her. The Backwater Swamp was not a well-received map as it had pathing issues with logs and puddles of water that became annoying very quic


The least favorite DLC has to be Ghost Face , it introduces a recreation of the killer from the popular movie series Scream, and… that’s kind of it. Every other expansion on this list always includes a killer, a survivor, and a new realm to explore, but this one had only the kil


If you get slashed by the killer in-game, you need to find someone else to heal you. They can lean over you and perform the same skill checks that the generators require in order to heal you up. But! There is actually a way to heal yours


Kraven Manor is an indie free-to-play game that takes 1-2 hours to beat but delivers lots of scares. The game revolves around strange mannequins that chase you throughout the game. When you're not forced to look at the monster trying to kill you, the best option to survive Kraven Manor is to run fast and don't look b


But even though the concept of the game itself is pretty simple, there are a lot of mechanics to the game that take some practice, such as the skill checks required to repair generators. And if we dig even deeper, there's a lot that can be done in the game that players actually have no idea ab


The reason it doesn’t rank lower is some fans like Springwood, as killers, but as survivors, there are too many corners, too many dead ends, and other places to be ambushed or cornered. Patches and slight tweaks have helped, but it’s still left a bad taste in players’ mou

Your goal is to fix five generators in the level that will power the door leading to safety and get out. The levels are procedurally generated each time, though, so you’re never going to be able to memorize the layout and map the most efficient routes; you’re going to need to balance exploration with stealth in order to find the generators without getting spotted and winding up on one of the killer’s meat hooks. Every time you run, you leave a trail through the woods the killer will see and follow straight to you, so when you’re looking around, tread lightly. Fixing a generator doesn’t require much more than time and a bit of timing as a prompt similar to the Gears of War active reload pops up occasionally to make sure you’re still paying attention. Missing that prompt is a surefire way to get the killer on your tail as it causes the generator to make a loud noise with a visual icon on the killer’s display.

There will be several different killers in the game, each loosely based on different classic horror movie villains, but only one was featured in the PAX demo, a hulking Jason-like with a machete and bear traps. As the killer, you can always see where the generators are, so you have a good idea at least where to patrol. If a survivor makes a loud noise, like from failing that generator prompt, a prominent icon shows up onscreen giving you the exact location. Likewise, when a generator is fixed, it turns on and gets highlighted in your view. Show up to the generator and see a fading red trail leading away and you know a survivor is very close. Chase them down and give them a good slash and you’ll injure them, making it much easier to catch up with them again later. A second slash will down them, making them eligible to be picked up and carried to a meat hook to be "sacrificed" upon death as tendrils take them away. The whole concept of needing to hang the survivors up on a hook instead of just killing them right then and there is a little silly, of course, but it provides good tension for the game on both sides.
