Hellraiser: Revival Goes Out Of Its Way To Ensure You’re Uncomfortable https://ift.tt/2Y8nez3 Hellraiser: Revival drops players into the world of Clive Barker's cult horror franchise, as developer Saber Interactive aims to bring a faithful Hellraiser experience that doesn't hold back on making you uncomfortable. GameSpot was able to go hands-on at Gamescom, and our play session with Revival definitely delivered tension and unease, as well as an exciting new gameplay element. Hellraiser: Revival is a first-person action-horror game that puts you in the shoes of Aidan Lynch, who has made the mistake of toying with one of Hellraiser's iconic puzzle boxes, the supernatural cube designed to open a gateway to hell.

The world of Hollow Knight, Hallownest, is one that lingers in the mind. Its intricate map, intriguing lore, and desolate yet inviting corridors have earned it a place in the annals of great metroidvanias, alongside the planet Zebes and Dracula's various castles.

His enjoyment went deeper than simply seeing everything that it had to offer--he was so immersed that the world of Hallownest felt real to him in a way that no other game ever had. He was almost disappointed when he started his second playthrough and found that Hollow Knight's opening area, the Crossroads, had lost the magic. For the first time, he felt like he was navigating a 2D video game level, not an inhabited world.
