With so many co-op monster shooters arriving in recent times, The Anacrusis already has a job in standing out, but it’s already laying some impressive groundwork for the future as it begins life in Early Access. Will it end up being a Big Bang or a Black Hole? Unlike many of its genre pals, The
First-person Yokai-heavy horror game Ikai certainly likes to keep you busy from the off, but is it too much busywork? It certainly distracted me from a strong setup.

Yeah, we know it sucks that for whatever reason, Capcom still hasn’t budged (as far as we know) on revisiting the Dino Crisis series.
