This Van Helsing review contains spoilers. Van Helsing Season 3 Episode 10 “As if I’d leave you on your own.” It’s difficult to watch “Outside World” and not draw comparisons to Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ as Vanessa confronts ghosts from her past and questions the path she’s chosen. Tonight, Van Helsing gives viewers priority seating for a haunting psychological examination of the choices Vanessa’s made to this point, and with her mind and conscience now reasonably clear, she sets off alone to bring the darkness inside of her and in the world to a close....

Not that I’m complaining, of course - my Switch is stacked with gems like Katana Zero, Huntdown and Blazing Chrome still getting regular play. It’s always a thrill switching between something like Contra: Hard Corps on the Switch Online’s Mega Drive service (an offering that’s honestly worth the price of a subscription alone) and a game like Blazing Chrome, seeing how faithful Brazilian developer JoyMasher is to its inspiration while also seeing all the areas they’ve pushed the action further and further still....

Games being given away for free on the Epic Games Store feels like a given at this point. Invariably, I check in, occasionally go, “oh, neat,” and claim whatever thing I’ll probably never play. But we knew that Epic Games had to be paying quite a lot to be able to do such a thing. How do we know this, though?
