Key art for Dying Light: The Beast showing Kyle Crane stunning an infected undead zombie in waist high water with a taser while raising a machete to finish the job - all while more infected hands reach out of the dense foliage towards him

Survival Horror Games Dying Light: The Beast review – "A playful sandbox of horror and mayhem with a surprising amount of depth"

Cronos: The New Dawn key art featuring a mysterious building in the background and traveller in foreground

Survival Horror Games Cronos: The New Dawn review: "An unabashed mash-up of survival horror greatest hits, from Dead Space to Silent Hill, with plenty of its own gory ideas"

Doom The Dark Ages Doom Slayer with yellow eyes

FPS Games Doom: The Dark Ages update 2 looks like a massive improvement across the board, and a horde mode and slow-motion toggle are just the start: "This ain’t an update… This be a BUFFET!!!"

The key art for Hell is Us, showing Remi with his equipment - military poncho, laser sword, and drone - in front of a Hollow Walker's milky white face

Action Games Hell is Us review: "The lack of waypoints and explicit objectives is a double-edged magical sword that pulls me deep into its harsh world"

Action Games Ghostrunner devs abandon parkour for Valor Mortis, a first-person soulslike that might explain why the rest of the genre follows Dark Souls' lead

Justine, an FBI investigator in a white shirt, clutches her head in key art for Hotel Barcelona as he glasses fall off, her eyepatch becomes untied, and her hair, blazing red, ruffles - with a swirling, psychedelic background

Roguelike Games Hotel Barcelona review: "Everywhere better roguelike games go right, this hotel-set horror goes left"

Silent Hill Silent Hill f's punishing Souls-inspired combat is a beautiful metaphor, but this better not ignite a new survival horror trend

A screenshot of players fighting an armored demon in Painkiller while purple chains wrap around our view

FPS Games I'm lukewarm on Painkiller's co-op reboot, which says a lot because letting me shoot stakes at demons should make it a guaranteed GOTY

Key art for Alone in the Dark 1992, with the GamesRadar+ Horror Special badge

Survival Horror Games 33 years later, Alone in the Dark still deserves recognition as the survival horror that bridged the gap between Cthulhu and Resident Evil

A greasy-looking monster stands in a black hallway

Survival Horror Games Bloober devs say Cronos: The New Dawn is a "strange combination" of horror greats like Silent Hill, Dead Space, and Bloodborne, but they wanted a sci-fi story "deeper" than a typical Resident Evil: "Not to offend, of course"

Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival preview

Horror Games I was already nervous about playing gory survival horror Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, and then I saw the stack of vomit bags provided by the devs

A heavily-armored warrior with a bladed shield and morningstar stands on top of a pile of demon corpses, against a volcanic, medieval background

Board Games "A hell of a feeling:" Doom: The Dark Ages Arena board game is like "heavy metal chess" and dammit I'm so in

Silent Hill Silent Hill f revives the horror series' 26-year-old debate: can combat be so bad it's good?

Kaser stands in front of a glowing blue background as the imprisoned dragon Lord Arena swirls behind him like a fish - key art from Lost Soul Aside used on the PlayStation store

Action Games Lost Soul Aside review: "We (don't) have Final Fantasy Versus 13 at home"

Key art for Silent Hill f, cropped for a thumbnail, showing Hinako Shimizu standing in an alley of Ebisugaoka, a 1960s rural Japanese town, which has been taken over by red sprouting growths, including spider lilies

Silent Hill Silent Hill f review: "The legendary horror series' most unsettling atmosphere and writing to date butts heads with combat that's more irritating than scary"

DOOM: The Dark Ages Review | Goretastic prequel hindered by new ideas

DOOM: The Dark Ages is just as brutal as ever, but its new ideas and inclusions hold it back. From a new shield and parry mechanic to dragons with laser wings, it's still the same DOOM we all know and love, but is it as good as DOOM: Eternal?
