Platform(s): PC (version reviewed), Xbox Series Genre: Post-apocalyptic survival horror RPG shooter Survival horror is a genre that I tend to steer clear of.

Function-wise, they sit in the awkward middle ground between the portability of smartphones and the combination of ...

For the better part of a decade, I've felt as though Call of Duty's multiplayer experience had lost its charm. Sure, sales were great but I missed the good old days when grinding public matches for hours on end was fun.
