Myles and Kurosh Discuss the Latest Releases – Temple of Geek’s Halloween Gaming Festival

October 2024 has been a whirlwind of video game releases, leaving gamers with an abundance of choices. To navigate this exciting landscape, Myles and Kurosh, video game correspondents for Temple of Geek, sat down to discuss some of the standout titles.  

Metaphor: ReFantazio

First up was “Metaphor: ReFantazio“, a new IP from Atlus, renowned creators of the “Persona” series. This JRPG, set in a fantasy world, offers a meaty 100-hour gameplay experience. The game features a blend of real-time and turn-based combat, along with a unique job (Archetype) system that allows for flexible character roles. A lengthy demo is available for those looking to dip their toes into this fantastical world.

Neva

Next, the duo discussed “Neva“, a 2D platformer following in the footsteps of “Gris”. Despite its short 5-6 hour playthrough, “Neva” manages to deliver an emotionally resonant story through its artistic visuals and music.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero

For fans of the anime, “Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero” offers a chance to explore “what if” scenarios that alter the course of the anime’s history. With a roster of over 120 playable characters, the game features mini-campaigns told from various character perspectives. However, be prepared for a steep learning curve if you plan to delve into the competitive online scene.

Silent Hill 2 Remake

Horror enthusiasts will be thrilled with the “Silent Hill 2” remake from Bloober Team, a faithful reimagining of the survival horror classic. The game boasts stunning visuals and sound design, creating a truly immersive and terrifying experience.

Fear the Spotlight

Another standout horror title is “Fear the Spotlight”, an indie darling developed by husband and wife duo Cozy Game Pals. This retro-style game offers an accessible entry point for those new to the horror genre, with a focus on atmosphere and suspense rather than combat or jump scares.
