Unfortunately, the gameplay is the only thing that's really holding it back, as there are a few general, mechanical issues with it: for starters, the combat in the game is awkward and difficult to handle, and it can often be a pain to attack enemies because of the clunky hit detection. It's also rather nice that the game is generous with its save points as well, because you're going to really need them. It's smooth, fun to get into, and has several very interesting puzzle sections.

It's an unpredictable adventure, and the gameplay can often back that up. And what's more, the game itself is legitimately terrifying: yes, there are some jump scares at points, but what really makes it work is that the atmosphere is so tensing, and the horror elements serve to make you think, instead of just waiting for the next jump scare to happen. Said story is one that sucks you right in: I fell in love with quite a few of the characters, and I think it's so remarkable that the writers took a story about revenge and abandonment and twisted it in such a great way with such a unique setting like an animation studio. The visuals are foreboding and fantastic, and lend themselves well to the game's story. "Bendy and the Ink Machine" is engaging from the get-go: stylistically, I love how the game's art style is so dark and brooding, while also invoking nostalgia and Disney vibes. And after spending some quality time in the game's world, I definitely walked away fascinated. But admittedly, "Bendy and the Ink Machine" was one horror title that stopped me in my tracks: an indie darling since the first chapter of the game saw release in 2017, I was admittedly pretty fascinated when I learned that the game was set to see a release on consoles.

But when it comes to today's horror video games, it can be hard to get into them: yes, the "Resident Evil" series has made a triumphant return to the horror roots of before, but outside of that, many of the modern horror games that see release are uninspired, jump scare-filled titles that only serve the purpose of giving YouTubers fodder to earn some clout. But when it comes to today's horror It's no secret that I'm not one that's all that into horror stuff. It requires the base game to play, which is currently half off and £8.49/$10/€10.It's no secret that I'm not one that's all that into horror stuff. So, here's a reason to return to one of the best cities Sin had ever seen.Ĭloudpunk: City Of Ghosts is currently discounted by 10% on Steam and costs £11.69/$13.49/€13.49. "You might not be able to do much besides walk and drive around it, but it's one of the best cities I've ever seen, and I spent a fair amount of time just idling around and watching it go while listening to the rain, the muffled thumping of nightclubs, and the excellent music," she wrote. The core appeal therefore seems to be what Sin talked about in her Cloudpunk review. City Of Ghosts adds races to take part in, but seems to remain pretty limited otherwise. Otherwise, it's offering much the same as the original game: a beautiful city to walk and drive around with a fully voiced story to listen to at the same time.

Alongside her you'll play as new character Hayse, a drunken gambler trying to clear his debts before morning. You again take control of Rania, who has attracted the attention of a "secret society of AI worshipping zealots," and of debt collectors. City Of Ghosts is set in Nivalis, the same city as the original game, but this time it's "more dangerous, more tense," according to the game's Steam page.
