There’s nothing negative I can say about Crow Country; The puzzles were great and backtracking to different areas didn’t feel like a chore. I found controls very responsive and the enemies do great at being an obstacle and not a hindrance. Crow Country’s way of adding more difficulty as the game progresses by adding fake items, traps and larger creatures was great. Crow Country is short, sweet, and filled with a lot of personality! I am awarding it the Thumb Culture Platinum Award. If you love the classic PS1 style horror games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil and Clock Tower, then I highly recommend this game.

This lushly detailed game with a chunkily retro polygonal protagonist is a gorgeous homage to landmark titles of the past

Crow Country puts more emphasis on puzzles than the survival part of survival horror, but it's a well-observed love letter to the genre with great attention to detail all over the place. It's somehow equal parts charming and creepy.

One of the best indies of the year is a trip back in time that doesn't just pay homage and manages to find its own identity in a genre increasingly characterized by imitations.

Crow Country is a title that transports us non-stop to the PlayStation 1 survival horror era, thanks to a technical and playable section that perfectly captures the style of the '90s. A videogame that has everything to be considered as 'the great indie surprise' so far this year, ideal to get started in survival horror and, at the same time, bring back the veterans of the genre to a time when terror was on everyone's lips.
