Crow Country review - retro horror thrills that offer much more than mere nostalgia

More than just its nostalgic visuals, Crow Country is funny, self-aware, and extremely hard to put down - Eurogamer's review.

Yes, it's now abandoned – although the spilt sodas and empty popcorn tubs littering the ground suggest that the exodus wasn't all that long along – but it's hard to imagine this place as anything other than deeply unsettling even at its prime. Watch on YouTube Like the 90s horror games it imitates, this story unfolds through the notes, journals, and newspaper clippings you find stashed around the place, although it remains delightfully opaque right up until the end. At once challenging without straying into frustration – bar a couple of exceptions, anyway – SFB's puzzle design varies wildly from the insultingly easy to fiendishly difficult and everything in between, even though I spent half the game thinking I'd accidentally skipped a key item or weapon, so often was I picking up ammo for a gun I didn't possess.
