Okay, so in the latest season of Stranger Things, they really put a spotlight on little Holly Wheeler – it was unexpected! It’s 1987, and what happens with her is actually key to Vecna’s new plan to attack Hawkins.

It’s hard to make a new extraction shooter feel fresh, but Arc Raiders is succeeding by having a clear and consistent vision throughout the entire game. The developers at Embark Studios clearly prioritize creating a believable world, and that dedication is especially noticeable in how things look.
