Jun 5, 2026Hollowbody 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.

Jun 4, 2026Hollowbody is a fantastic homage to 6th-gen survival horror, whilst maintaining a distinct style and knowing when to utilise those retro mechanics. The push and pull of conserving resources and embracing what lurks around the corner make for a tense experience throughout. Whilst the plot is forgettable and the menu can be too cumbersome sometimes, the atmosphere, worldbuilding and moment-to-moment make my problems ring hollow, as everything else is so great.

Jun 10, 2026A 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.
