    Hollowbody is a short but great classic survival horror. An intriguing story and great atmosphere had me on the edge of my seat for the entire four-hour experience.

    Hollowbody is a love letter to PlayStation 2 survival horror games that perfectly captures what made those classics so special. Its oppressive atmosphere, retro visual design, and focus on exploration manage to recreate feelings that few modern games can convey. Although the clunky combat and some overly cryptic puzzles may turn off certain players, those who miss the Silent Hill era will find a remarkably authentic experience here.

    Hollowbody is a great example of what a passionate fan can do with enough drive and expertise: make me jump out of my skin and cry.

    A desperate search through a quarantined city quickly spirals into a journey filled with unsettling discoveries and difficult truths. Blending retro survival horror design with a futuristic world, the adventure balances exploration, resource management, and suspense across a tightly paced campaign. Though brief, it delivers plenty of atmosphere, mystery, and reasons to see the story through more than once.

    Hollowbody turns survival horror into a harmless ride: a tribute to the past without its own identity, lacking any sense of danger, and wasting great voice acting on a weak and confusing script.

    A lean PS1-era horror revival, but Hollowbody reanimates the fun and the flaws of 90s gaming.

    Hollowbody understands what makes classic survival horror compelling, blending psychological horror, exploration, and old-school mechanics. However, technical issues, weak melee combat, and an uneven level of polish ultimately prevent its strong ideas from reaching their full potential.
