One could find a lot of cause to compare this sequel to the reboot of Doom. It captures the spirit of old Resident Evil games and brings it forward in a modern, fresh direction. For those who may have felt betrayed by Resident Evil 6’s heavy action leanings, Resident Evil 7 is for you. You star as Ethan, a man on the hunt for his wife Mia.

SLENDERMAN: THE ARRIVALSlenderman originally debuted a few years ago on PC and has created quite a following thanks to the tall, skinny character that has its own mythology outside of video games. However, it hasn't really had a chance to make an impact on consoles until now, with Midnight City picking up the publishing rights. And while the game still has a couple of good scares here and there, it just isn't quite the same beast as it was a few years ago. Something's sorely missing.
