Hellraiser: Revival Plays Like A Very Horny Resident Evil

Hellraiser: Revival Plays Like A Very Horny Resident Evil https://ift.tt/xU8MnZy I've been eager to finally play H ellraiser: Revival because I was still unsure what it's trying to be. But having finally played a sample of it during Summer Game Fest, I've figured it out: Hellraiser: Revival is a lot like a Resident Evil game, only it's exceptionally horny. All the familiar elements are there. You have your doors "locked on the other side." You have some crafting scraps with which you can make things to aid your survival. You have distinctive keys you use to open elaborate doors, and puzzles that require roundabout, lateral thinking. Played in first-person, you'll have guns you use to defeat enemies, while you carefully manage your ammo and health.

The game's intentions are clear right away: This isn't the sort of game where you'll need to worry about ammo reserves very often. This is a power fantasy, though not without plenty of tension, too.

Arizona Sunshine 2 shines brightest is in those moments when you're tasked with clearing out intimidatingly large hordes of zombies. As mentioned, at first I found this so difficult that I assumed I failed to account for something--a skill move, or a control option, or something. It turns out I just needed a little practice. Like a lot of VR shooters, you can do yourself huge favors by mastering the reload animation. Initially I fumbled around with that mechanic, which caused me to take more than a few bites to the jugular, but it didn't take long before I mowed through undead like a John Wick Halloween spin-off.
