Husk

Husk is a psychological horror game with broken combat and stealth systems that consistently undoes any sense of tension it tries so hard to build.

HUSK is full of technical issues and bugs that affect the progress of the story. Great setting but very poor execution. Unplayable.

Despite its ambitious stride to tell a gripping tale of a father/husband striving desperately to look for his missing family, Husk‘s end delivery is anything but. With a host of mechanical and structural oddities breaking numerous points of immersion where it’s seldom gained — both before and after post-release updates — across environments that, though blended rather well into one another, could very well be found in ample other titles using horror as an attribute, Husk is a frustrating game to recommend. Marred by technical difficulties that come to question just how “finished” this game truly is/was, Husk is another example of a studio that have mistaken basic nostalgia for the wealth of enjoyment.

One could also make the argument that if a game’s story is poor, the gameplay can at least make up for it, and vice versa. Husk manages come frustratingly close at times, leaving the game undone by its inconsistency.

There are some great ideas and some good moments in Husk, but gameplay-wise, the experience isn't that good, and sadly it isn't what you would expect. The developers have promised to listen to the feedback and improve the game, so keep an eye on it, because even if now it isn't the game we want, it could end up being it.
