We first got a glimpse of Hell is Us’ gameplay in a 2024 State of Play. On display was a dark action game with cool-looking weapons and an eerie atmosphere. Hell is Us delivers that, while also providing an extremely lore-rich world, rooted in mystery.
The creation of The Midnight Walk is an interesting story in itself. According to its developer, MoonHood, every single asset within the game was first handcrafted with real clay before being placed and animated into the game world. That level of passion is easily seen and felt not just in the game’s stunning visuals, but in its incredibly strong worldbuilding and atmosphere.
It’s tough to recommend Flint, though. While I did enjoy combat well enough, there was no real payoff for it. I didn’t care for why I’d win in battle or what that meant for the characters and the overall story. If you’re looking for a deep narrative adventure, this is probably not the game for you right now, but if you’re really itching for more strategic turn-based combat, or just really love the pirate setting, maybe consider giving Flint a try.
At a glance, it’s clear that Silent Hill and Resident Evil were major influences on indie horror game Hollowbody. While its retro PS2-style visuals are what initially drew me toward the game, inside of that is a competent survival horror experience that, while not doing too many things different from its predecessors, establishes a world and setting that’s worth exploring. If you’re looking for a game to scratch the itch of those classic survival horror experiences, Hollowbody is definitely worth your time.
