It feels a little surreal to be talking about Resident Evil 3: Nemesis in 2025. Yet thanks to the titles imminent release as part of the PlayStation Plus Classics offering, here we are.  Originally released in 1999 for the PlayStation, this third entry in Capcom’s survival horror juggernaut is now making its way onto the PlayStation Plus Classics Collection, giving players old and new a chance to dive into one of the most memorable chapters in the Resident Evil  franchise.  For some, Resident Evil 3 was “the other” sequel, not quite as celebrated as Resident Evil 2, which had wowed gamers a year earlier with its ambitious dual campaigns and cinematic flair. But for those who stuck with Jill Valentine as she fought her way through a city in chaos, Resident Evil 3 delivered something equally special: a faster-paced, more relentless take on survival horror, with one of gaming’s most iconic villains stalking your every step. In 2025, with modern Resident Evil titles pushing i...

A Brutal Yet Beautiful Journey Through a Cursed Empire… First Steps Into the World From the moment Wuchang: Fallen Feathers loads on PS5, the tone is unmistakable. The game greets you with dim skies, decaying towns, and vast mountains that fade into mist. It is set in a land teetering on the edge of collapse, where disease, war, and strange supernatural forces seem to be gnawing at everything. It has an immediate pull for anyone who enjoys worlds that feel heavy with history and mystery. The opening hours are slow and deliberate. Rather than rushing you into the action, the game lets you take in its environments and get familiar with its methodical combat. This pacing can feel daunting at first, but once you understand the rhythm, the immersion takes hold. Story and Atmosphere You step into the role of Bai Wuchang, a wandering fighter afflicted by a strange feather-like disease. The narrative is told with restraint. Clues come from short conversations, visual details in the ...

From the very first night, Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 makes it clear that it is not trying to repeat the same tricks as the earlier games. The frantic juggling act that defined how the original 2014 Five Nights at Freddy’s game changed horror and the chaotic energy of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is gone. In its place is a slower, more calculated form of fear. There is only one enemy who can kill you, but he is the most dangerous yet. This is Springtrap, a rotting green rabbit suit that contains the corpse of William Afton, the killer whose shadow has hung over the series from the very beginning. Instead of managing doors, masks, and a swarm of threats, FNaF 3 gameplay focuses on three key systems. Cameras let you track Springtrap’s position. Audio devices lure him away from your office by playing childlike sounds. Ventilation keeps you from blacking out when phantom animatronics fill your vision. Any one of these systems can fail without warning, forcing you into the control panel to pe...
