Metroidvania's, soulslike or any game that calls for self-flagellation is what this dutch guy loves. How harder and relentless the game is, the more joy he gets out of it. But don't tell anyone he likes some easy games as well.
If you’re, like us, eagerly anticipating the Alone in the Dark remake, we have some bad news for you. THQ Nordic announced through Twitter that the remake of the grandfather of all survival horror games has been delayed.
