What We Played – Hyper Light Breaker, Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 & Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap

The sequel is exactly what you’d expect from a survival horror game in a post-RE2 remake world, albeit fuelled by a mind-bending plot that feels like its own autonomous being, giving itself permission to fuse Alan Wake with Remedy’s other video game worlds.”

Ade has been playing the brilliant Unicorn Overlord, saying, “I’ve just reached the
