9.5/10

It’s hard to ignore that we are arguably living in the new golden age for horror games. Over the past few years, we’ve had a wealth of great horror games after an extensive dry period. Ranging from terrifying and engaging games, like MADiSON and Visage, providing relentless assaults on the senses, or the return of action horror in Resident Evil and the upcoming Dead Space revival.

9/10

Signalis is a near-perfect love letter to the survival horror genre. Its atmosphere and tension feel natural and earned, with callbacks to sci-fi classics scattered throughout. It is at its best when you're darting between enemies, using stealth and patience rather than brute force. While some of the combat encounters felt a little forced, the puzzles are just the right mix of challenging and approachable. The surreal imagery and unique storytelling structure add to the overall polish of a game that is the perfect length for what it is. Highly recommended.

8/10

Survival horror thrives on forcing you to work with limited resources and enemies that are lurking around every corner. But when your weapons don’t keep enemies down and running is your only option, the stakes rise considerably. SIGNALIS blends that creepy atmosphere with horrific enemies that don’t stay down, making you fear every dark corner.

While Signalis won't be leading to a full-on fifth-gen survival horror renaissance, if only because some of the genre's past sins still linger, it still delivers an enjoyable adventure that perfectly captures the feel of the classic era while also doubling down on more detailed cosmic horrors and twisted visuals, capped off with some sturdy combat and impressive puzzle design. Those in the mood for a quick yet quality-filled horror game should check out Signalis, as it delivers welcome sci-fi scares.
