Overall, highly recommended for anyone who loves brain-teasing puzzles, stealth, and action-adventure games in general with a captivating horror theme that delivers on all fronts.The basis for most horror video games tend to revolve around the same concept. It’s one of those games that you can easily miss if you are not a fan of the pixel art style but once you try it, you’ll know that you could have missed an amazing game.Īs of the time of making this review, the game is available via Xbox Game Pass but you can buy it on Steam as well. It’s one of those games that deserve a lot more attention. It’s not a long game, I’ve read that it averages around 5 hours for most players, and therefore it does live more to be desired (hopefully more will come via DLCs). The innovative very organic shape-changing character movement and animation and intelligent puzzles and immersion made me enjoy this game a lot. SummaryĬarrion turned out to be one of the better games I’ve played in 2020. Believe me, it will be intense as those gunshots really hurt and I died many times throughout the game. It’s dynamic and perfectly matches the situation and enhanced the tension like in horror movies.
#CARRION VIDEO GAME DOWNLOAD#
The download size is only 198MB believe it or not and what you get is absolutely incredible.Ĭarrion features beautiful and detailed pixel-art style visuals The game features a pixel art style yet it’s very much detailed. Visuals & MusicĪnother part where Carrion really shines. This is just to give you a taste of the other side of the story. It feels rewarding but never frustrating.Īt some points during the game you’ll be switching between the monster and take the human perspective, but most of the time you’ll be playing as the monster. Some people did report getting lost from the reviews I’ve read on Steam, but again, levels are relatively small and I don’t think it will be an issue for you as well.Ĭarrion keeps a good balance between game difficulty, respawn points, and challenging gameplay. So it’s not like many roguelite games where it can be very punishing to die, and you won’t lose any of your abilities doing so either.ĭue to that checkpoint and tight gameplay levels, I didn’t find myself getting lost, despite that there is backtracking in this game. Checkpoints are spread quite often, so you won’t find a situation when you really need to walk minutes until you get to that same area that you failed at. Even if you save the game it will be from the last checkpoint. There are frequent checkpoints in Carrion. If your biomass hits zero, it’s game over. So if you get hit a lot, you won’t be able to use certain abilities. Every hit from a firearm, turret, mech machine gun or flamethrower hurts a lot. Large biomass makes you more powerful but more expose to hits small biomass makes you smaller and employ stealth abilities.Īs you progress, you’ll need to manage your biomass to solve smart puzzles and use them effectively to win in combat.Ĭombat is unforgiving. The animation of the character was implemented beautiful and makes moving through the level and fighting so much more fun than traditional walk-and-jump movement. Your arms will automatically reach areas to move forward as you use the left mouse button to point to the direction where you want to go. The creatures move throughout the level in a very organic matter and that’s one of the most innovative character movements I’ve seen in a game in a long time. It’s up to you to try to escape from a facility of those who imprisoned you while terrorizing anyone in that facility. Not it’s called ‘Reverse Horror” because you don’t play as the creature, rather than the one who tried to fight the creature.
#CARRION VIDEO GAME MOVIE#
The game immediately gave me the “Alien” movie vibes.
#CARRION VIDEO GAME PC#
Yesterday I saw that the game is available via Xbox Game Pass (for PC for me) and I’ve decided to try it out, and I am so happy that I did.Ĭarrion is a 2D Reverse Horror in which you play as an amorphous creature of unknown origin. The funny thing is that when I visited Steam, I saw that I set it to be “Ignored”. Carrion turned out to be one of the more interesting and unique horror 2D action-adventure games that I’ve played in 2020. In this post, I’ll review Carrion game for PC.
