Resolution reviews the new game from Russian genre-defying Pathologic's developers. From the article: "It's very rarely fun. But it is a viciously beautiful, enormously interesting experience. Go in with unreasonable expectations and you'll find yourself quickly scared away. But those prepared for a trying, exhausting atmosphere piece, and those who are willing to look past a few technical hiccups, will find their most brilliant nightmares blossoming into life."
The Void debuted on PC over a decade ago, and was entirely unique in it's presentation. However, for some reason, it's been lost in time.
A perfect accompaniment to Ralph Breaks the Internet.
BacklogCritic: "I have been a horror game enthusiast since the original Alone in the Dark came out. The fact that a game could evoke such emotion within me was a powerful force. It was a small step that began a journey to today, and many games have come and gone over the years. Some I remember fondly, despite their flaws, while others were not worthy to even remember their names. The lineup has changed with each successive year, and will continue to do so, as long as I keep gaming."
The writer must be young....Fatal Frame...Alone in the Dark...and Silent Hills as an honorable mention? Damn SH 2 gave me nightmares... Hell even the PT demo and Layers of fear was scarier than most games on this list.
What the hell, at least I agree with No 1, RE7 in VR was traumatising...and I only played about an hour!
Soma should not be in that list, it is the top 10 horror games of all time. Also Dead Space and Silent Hill are honorable mentions?? Such travesty!
Sounds pretty interesting, actually. Though with a little research, it looks like no one is 100% sure when it's coming out in the US thanks to delays. =\ (Estimate is now October 23rd, looks like.) Guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open for it, and hopefully save enough money for when it does finally reach here. =)
Good review, these Russian games always have a interesting premise but lack the polish many of the Western titles do.
