So it’s not like many roguelite games where it can be very punishing to die, and you won’t lose any of your abilities doing so either.ĭue to that checkpoint and tight gameplay levels, I didn’t find myself getting lost, despite that there is backtracking in this game. Checkpoints are spread quite often, so you won’t find a situation when you really need to walk minutes until you get to that same area that you failed at. Even if you save the game it will be from the last checkpoint. There are frequent checkpoints in Carrion.

If your biomass hits zero, it’s game over. So if you get hit a lot, you won’t be able to use certain abilities. Every hit from a firearm, turret, mech machine gun or flamethrower hurts a lot. Large biomass makes you more powerful but more expose to hits small biomass makes you smaller and employ stealth abilities.Īs you progress, you’ll need to manage your biomass to solve smart puzzles and use them effectively to win in combat.Ĭombat is unforgiving. The animation of the character was implemented beautiful and makes moving through the level and fighting so much more fun than traditional walk-and-jump movement. Your arms will automatically reach areas to move forward as you use the left mouse button to point to the direction where you want to go.

The creatures move throughout the level in a very organic matter and that’s one of the most innovative character movements I’ve seen in a game in a long time. It’s up to you to try to escape from a facility of those who imprisoned you while terrorizing anyone in that facility. Not it’s called ‘Reverse Horror” because you don’t play as the creature, rather than the one who tried to fight the creature. The game immediately gave me the “Alien” movie vibes. Yesterday I saw that the game is available via Xbox Game Pass (for PC for me) and I’ve decided to try it out, and I am so happy that I did.Ĭarrion is a 2D Reverse Horror in which you play as an amorphous creature of unknown origin. The funny thing is that when I visited Steam, I saw that I set it to be “Ignored”. Carrion turned out to be one of the more interesting and unique horror 2D action-adventure games that I’ve played in 2020. In this post, I’ll review Carrion game for PC.
