#One of many 12 months’s greatest survival horror video games Crow Nation releases on Swap this month
Do you like early PlayStation-style survival horror however don’t need to stare at a pc monitor and don’t personal a Steam Deck? Effectively, hopefully, you personal a Swap (or PS4), as a result of it’s touchdown there on October 16, 2024.
In the event you’re like me, your October is already going to be packed to the gills with horror video games, but in addition, in case you’re like me, you’ve most likely already performed Crow Nation on PC. In the event you’re not like me, fortunate you! You’re far more lucky than you suppose. I’m speaking to you particularly since you ought to positively play Crow Nation in case you haven’t.
Crow Nation has Particular Agent Mara Forest heading into the decrepit stays of the eponymous amusement park looking for its lacking proprietor. Sadly: monsters. It’s a must to discover the park, discovering keys and fixing puzzles. It’s traditional survival horror at its best and most concise.
I’ve no finish of fine issues to say about it, as you may inform by this assessment I wrote. I gave it a 9? Good. I not often give something a 9. I’m jaded and curmudgeonly, or, as I choose to place it: nuanced. However Crow Nation has a mind-blowingly inventive horror plot and an attention-grabbing artwork model that appears like PS1-era low-poly characters and gadgets over a PS1-era pre-rendered background, however the backgrounds aren’t really pre-rendered. You possibly can rotate the digital camera all you need, and nonetheless get that scrumptious early-CG look.
To return to my unique assessment, I admit that Crow Nation doesn’t do something to re-write the traditional survival horror playbook, but it surely’s executed with a talent that makes it appear easy. That’s to not say it isn’t with out a few bruises and imperfections, however they’re misplaced among the many many sides it does exceedingly properly. So, in case you weren’t capable of play it on PC or PlayStation platforms, you must positively give it a strive on Swap (assuming that the port is succesful).
Crow Nation is presently out on PC and 5. It’s out for Swap and PS4 on October 16, 2024.
