Mar 7, 2024An audiovisual trip to hell that also combines much of what we love and hate about horror films - including an ending that is debatable. Unfortunately, the gameplay clearly lags behind the presentation, although the rather simple puzzles are good entertainment for an evening.

Mar 6, 2024For much of Reveil we were worried that it was just going to be another bog-standard first-person psychological horror game, but it’s safe to say that its late-game twist saved it. And so while it’s not all that scary, and the voice acting of the main character somewhat ruins the atmosphere at times, it’s still very much worth a play if you’re a fan of the genre or just enjoy a good story that throws you a curveball.

Mar 6, 2024Reveil tells a great story through its dialogue and settings, but it misses the mark when it comes to horror. It may not scare you, but it still proves quite compelling.

Mar 15, 2024Reveil isn't going to set the world of P.T.-inspired first-person horror games on fire, and issues with its writing and voice acting often drag it down, but with a strong aesthetic, surreal environments, and straightforward yet engaging puzzles and mechanics, it's still a solid experience that fans of the genre will enjoy.

Mar 19, 2024Reveil is a walking simulator, but it is a remarkable one. Yes, the puzzles are simple, but they are balanced by the game world full of things to explore and find. There is no monotonous pace, and the stealth and chase sections are more than just tense or strained, featuring a few truly scary moments. It may be short, but the story with its unexpected twists, the multiple settings and the constant questioning of what is real and what can you believe from what you go through, makes it a worthwhile experience for all the fans of adventure and horror games.

Mar 12, 2024REVEIL is fine as a mildly spooky walking sim, but it commits so many sins of horror games that it ends up boring at best and frustrating at worst.
-
Mar 7, 2024REVEIL features a rich, evocative and vintage art direction, with detailed, well-made scenarios. Unfortunately, everything else is tied together in an average package that struggles to stand out from the myriad of games in the same subgenre.
