    Whilst the Playstation 5 improvements don't bring much new, Darkwood remains a strong, compelling horror title. The atmosphere remains tight and gloomy and the day-to-day surviving carries a weight that still brings me some joy. On this revisit, I see more of the strings attached but there is an enduring quality to running around in the dark corners of this hostile world.

    The top-down survival horror also appeared on next-gen consoles, and although it doesn't scare that much, it looks well on PS5. But it is a fun journey.

    Darkwood is a dark, suspenseful top-down horror game that will test your nerve as you try to find a way out.

The gameplay is glitch free but the combat feels a little underdeveloped as i always felt there was to many buttons involved and it took too long to do certain things (like weapon swapping) and i often died in fights that i felt as though i should have won.The art direction is fantastic and the story is fairly non linear with great characters which creates lots of replay value. My only major problem is the game suffers a bit from "go read the wiki" as several times i felt the need to look up online how to do something as i sometimes felt a little lost in what to in the game. Overall very good and a rewarding experience.… Full Review »
