    Signalis punches above its weight in almost every aspect. Don’t miss out on this riveting, polished journey into a brutalist, nightmarish world.

    In an era that survival horror gaming seems to make a strong comeback in the AAA sphere, “Signalis” offers an unexpected, near perfectly crafted, old school experience that fans of the genre should not miss.

    Signalis is a love letter for the classic survival horror genre and that kind of fear and sci-fi mix that never fails. One of the surprises of this year.

    Signalis is great in spite of its lack of true scares and deserves to be played by anyone who enjoys games like it. I've enjoyed many horror movies and books that don't scare me because I like the subject matter, the settings, the characters, or some other elements of them, and the same can be true for games. Signalis isn't a scary horror game, but it is a memorable one that borrows from the past while helping secure a future for games like this--and the small but talented team, with any luck. For me, atmospheric, tense, and creepy are adequate stand-ins for true horror, and Signalis has plenty to offer along those lines.

    Developer rose-engine’s debut is a near masterwork in a much-missed mode of horror gaming.

    A real indie gem inspired by the best survival horror classics.

    Signalis is a rather fascinating adventure with gorgeous retro visuals and excellent audio colluding with an exciting story and lore and great story to offer a world absolutely worth exploring. It’s therefore also a huge shame that it’s let down by repetitive and annoying puzzles that have the player run back and forth in identical corridors, a painfully limited inventory and an unimpressive combat model. Fans of old school horror games and space sci-fi should still find Signalis an interesting experience, and those subscribed to Game Pass can try it day one on the service.

    Its a Masterpiece. Definitely the best indie I've played this year and possibly the best ever of its genre, surpassing even the survival horror games of old that inspired it.

Car c’est effectivement d’une laideur sans précédent ou presque ! du pixel lard, du pixel larve dans toute son horreur, même si on a vu pire -sans doute- ici et là auparavant…

    C’est donc -déjà graphiquement parlant- une pure vision d’horreur en soi, un dégoût à chaque image, cette espèce de jeu de rétrons qui a une sale gueule de déterré zombifié des années 90. Et encore.

    Très limité et très psychorigide, ce jeu de merde ne sauvegarde jamais et on ne va pas assez loin pour savoir comment on sauvegarde dans cette chiasse parce que franchement, on s’en tamponne. En fait. On a en effet déjà désinstallé ce sous-produit (qui pollue le Game Pass soit dit en passant et en fait surtout un… Daube Pass… en fait !).    … Expand
