The Third Shift Reviews
The Third Shift is a pretty solid horror game. The gameplay loop is simple but enjoyable, and I found myself mostly invested in the story. The graphical style lends itself well to the horror, and the soundtrack is decent. Finally, while short, it doesn’t overstay its welcome and has quite a lot to see in repeat playthroughs. I have to say, as much as I enjoyed The Third Shift, I didn’t find it too scary. There were a couple of solid jumpscares, and the atmosphere was fantastic, but I didn’t feel much looming dread outside of the worry that I’d fail the final minigame and have to redo the fight. Even so, I really enjoyed my time with it, and I’m sure plenty of people would find it more frightening than me. If you’re looking for a solid spooky time for a free weekend I’d suggest you give it a shot. I’m happy to award The Third Shift the Thumb Culture Gold Award and my recommendation.
