Being welcomed into the game by Harry and Hermione immediately brings back all the childhood nostalgia and love players felt for the Harry Potter series. It’s great to be able to interact with characters you know and love while progressing through the story and exploring the world in Wizards Unite . This aspect is completely absent in Pokémon Go , for no real reason. The team leaders easily could have been Ash, Misty, and Brock -or any other memorable charac
The past five years have seen the horror genre come out of its slump and deliver some true classics that stand as some of the best horror experiences gaming has to offer. These 10 games in particular are perhaps the best modern horror games, and are all great choices for anyone looking for some thrills this Hallow
School houses and rivalries have been a consistent theme in the world of Harry Potter starting with the very first book. They’ve always served to spur and create competition, even in the real world. The fact that Wizards Unite chose not to make different house factions a means for friendly competition is both surprising and disappointing. Pokémon GO , on the other hand, allows players to choose a team to combat against other people in real life, despite Pokémon itself never having teams. This adds a fun sense of competition to the game, that Wizards Unite sorely la
It may be a little on the cheesy side, but The Evil Within 2 is still a step above the original game in almost every way imaginable. Refining the Resident Evil 4 -style of survival-horror, The Evil Within 2 offers some classic horror action combined with open world sections that help it stand apart from other games in the genre. As we noted in our review for The Evil Within 2 , the game is easily one of the best survival-horror games in years, and even those disappointed by the first one may want to give the sequel a s
On the other hand, all of the many complexities of Wizards Unite can make it a less straightforward and friendly to some players. Pokémon GO definitely encourages new players, even those who have never played any other game in the franchise before, because it’s so simple to underst
When it comes to video games, the horror genre has had its ups and downs. There was a period of time where horror games were virtually non-existent, but thanks to popular games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill , they became an important part of the industry. The rise of online multiplayer and games like Call of Duty saw developers move away from horror games, but then the success of indie horror games led to a mainstream resurgence that we’re still seeing to
Updated April 3, 2023, by Jason Van Duine: While in the past Dead by Daylight has released new chapters fairly regularly, over a year has passed since its last major addition. The ability to constantly bring new features and nightmares to this asymmetrical horror title is exactly what keeps fans coming back. The year-long wait is over, bringing fans the Tools of Torment DLC. This DLC includes not just one, but two new faces to add to the survivor list: siblings Thalita and Renato Lyra. Alongside them, the new chapter also comes with the all-new killer; a sci-fi-inspired villain known as the Skull Merchant. While the DLC doesn’t come with a new map, it does come with a newly-developed Shelter Woods map, allowing a new horror makeover of an old
But if you level up your killer and gain perks through the bloodwebs, there will come a point where you can choose to kill the survivor rather than hook them. This will come with a gory animation depending on what killer you picked, and usually they’re pretty creat
Pokémon GO can be really fun, but unless you’re in a place where you can spend a lot of time walking around, you’re likely not going to be super active daily. It can also get a bit monotonous. Because Wizards Unite is more complex and varied, there are always little things going on that you can do, even while just sitting in your own ho
As a small studio, however, Niantic could only do so much. It made sense, then, for Pokéstops to be in the exact same locations as Ingress portals. It even used a lot of the same systems for things like spawn rates and item product
Niantic chose another popular world to bring to life in its next Adventure Game Characters, basing it off the Harry Potter universe. With such a history of success and popularity, Wizards Unite was an excellent choice. Wizards Unite was largely based off Pokémon Go , however, there are a few significant differences. Did Wizards Unite succeed in overcoming its predecessor, or does Pokémon Go show that changing things up isn’t always better?

Wizards Unite has many more aspects to it and can feel a bit harder to understand. While, overall, it’s still about collecting supplies and items, the story is more complex which can make it seem like less of a straight line to an end goal. It’s lacking a bit of that pick-up-and-play factor in compari
