One thing I hope to see in the coming years is first-party horror. The Evil Within 1 & 2 (Xbox, PC, & Cloud)

The Dead Space remake is adding a voice to Isaac as well as additional context to bridge the gap between Dead Spaces 1 and 2. This is why I recommend also playing Dead Space 2. Plus, his only tools are engineering gadgets retooled to dismember necromorphs. While he doesn’t talk in Dead Space, he voices his dissent to go back into the nightmarish ship. What I love about Dead Space is how unlikely of a protagonist Isaac is. I won’t go into any more details because nothing beats experiencing the first 20 minutes of that game for the first time. Plus, Nicole sent a cryptic message just before all contact with the Ishimura was lost telling Isaac to stay away. Funny coincidence though, Isaac’s ex-girlfriend, Nicole, was stationed on the Ishimura. Isaac Clarke, an engineer, is sent to check out the USG Ishimura after it went dark. In Dead Space, you play as an unlikely protagonist. While the Dead Space remake is a top-down remake of the original 2008 release, it wouldn’t hurt to check out the second (and in my opinion best) entry. And the best way to do so? Play where it all started on Xbox Game Pass via EA All Access. With the Dead Space remake slated to launch next January, now is the perfect time to prepare. If you too want to make this summer the summer of Horror, here are 3 games that you can play right now on Xbox Game Pass with our affiliate link. Be that brave person without anyone asking questions. I can actually say I played those games, the peak of horror, with the lights off.

When you think of summer, what are the games that come to mind right away? A fun, chill game to avoid the heat, like Viva Pinata? What about a long, seemingly never-ending RPG during time off, like Yakuza: Like A Dragon? If you’re like me, there is one genre that takes over your summers like a storm.
