Carrion - Official Gameplay Trailer
Carrion nails the power fantasy of being a horror movie monster, but makes exploration a chore that pads the adventure.
A squirming body horror labyrinth whose mix of ability-gating and backtracking slightly cramps its matchless creature design.
Carrion delivers on its unique 'reverse-horror game' concept, letting players wreak havoc as a massive, disgusting blob of tentacles and teeth.
Carrion is a fun reverse-horror adventure, though it doesn't push the concept to the heights of its potential.
With the gameplay flow struggling to find a pulse, the novelty of controlling a monster doesn't fully take shape
Carrion makes being a vicious monster satisfyingly simple and captivatingly gruesome, even if it doesn't always capitalize on its strengths.
There's plenty that Carrion gets right beyond the fluidity and attention to detail its horrific, blood-red monstrosity is given.
