Niohis one of those games that keeps on giving. If you enjoyedSekiroand are partial to RPG-style loot, you could easily spend hundreds of hours with this yokai-busting samurai game. It’s particularly worth playing if you like co-op in these sorts of games–it’s super easy to team up right from the menu.
Here’s more, from Chris: “With its emphasis on challenging combat and light storytelling elements that are at times bordering on parody (in a good way),Niohfeels like a true successor to theNinja Gaidenseries and fills a nice void thatSoulsleft behind.”He gave the game a 9 out of 10! No big deal.
If you’re looking for pointers and don’t know where to start, first: don’t sweat it.Niohcan be brutal in the opening hours. Second: lookie here.Chris and I have a few guides that should still hold up in 2019:
Outlast 2, on the other hand, is a survival horror game about a cult. It’s nasty (in good and bad ways). Our reviewer, Nic,landed on an 8 out of 10. Here are some choice words from his assessment:
“Outlast 2is harrowing. It is a horror game that will make you want to take a shower after you’re done with it. It’s a horror game that will make you want to hold your loved ones just a little tighter next time you embrace them. It’s a horror game that will scare you in the moment with shock and gore, then haunt you in the middle of the night with its ideas. And isn’t that what the best of horror strives for?”
Sony is offeringNiohandOutlast 2through PlayStation Plus from June 14, 2025 to June 26, 2025. Even if you’re pressed for time, claim ’em now before you forget and circle back later.
