Explore the hype around Code Violet, the controversial PlayStation exclusive that is making waves for all the wrong reasons.
Maisie from NoobFeed writes: People who are hungry for scary dinosaur stories might find that Code Violet scratches an itch that has been there for years. Just know that you will feel both tension and anger. This isn't a polished return to the genre; it's more of an imperfect, passionate try that shows what could be done with more polish.
Code Violet wants to be Dino Crisis, but serves campy cutscenes, shallow crafting, and raptors with questionable brain cells.
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Code Violet is simultaneously a game that should be way better than it is, but also surprisingly a game that could have been so much worse as well. It’s a broken and uninteresting slog that doesn’t come close to even matching the potential for a dinosaur action-horror title."
Call me crazy, but there’s stuff in this game that make me want to try it. Like the T-Rex sequences look pretty intense.
the game looks so bad at times. The devs are a bunch of antagonists online who automatically disagree and flame anyone who says anything remotely bad about their game. Find a bug? It's a "feature" they left in because they thought it was funny. (aka they had no idea how to get rid of it).
Dino game in crisis.
Sony's beginning their 2026 with a stinker. sigh.
