So much for keeping that horror legacy alive… Our Ratings There are moments of tense atmosphere but again, not enough to go around, and as a result, you may get bored enough with The Arrival to get out of it before you come close to finishing. This almost looks like a cheap B-movie recreation of a horror game, rather than an experience that's right up there with Outlast.
Again, that might have been what the developers had in mind, but the PS3 is certainly more capable than this. However, there's not really as much detail as there could be, mainly due to underproduced textures. Dated Visuals Don't Impressively ScareĪs for the visuals, the game is presented with a simple 3D terrain, and does make decent use of lighting at times, especially when you're shining your flashlight in a dank environment. Either way, you'll be gritting your teeth as you shake off the shares, and that isn't the experience that Slender should be going for. Perhaps there's some sort of ghostly power holding you back – or maybe the developers got really lazy. Worse yet, certain limitations in the level design can be a real strain, especially when all you want to do is go further into the forest only to find that you can't. Slender's gameplay does okay at first, especially when it comes to the rumbling of your controller but again, there's very little to do after. And even then, there's no real point to it. You can probably finish the general experience within a couple of hours, with the only real motivation to go back – if at all – to collect all the items. There’s no real depth or actually any depth at all. The first couple of times you experience Slender in The Arrival, it truly does make for a spooky experience, especially when you’re trying to run away as fast as you can. Instead, all you have is a flashlight, and you basically have to use indications with your controller (and sometimes your screen) to avoid run-ins with the Slender – which is easier said than done. Like the PS4/Xbox One release Outlast, Slender: The Arrival doesn't really give you any sort of offense to deal with. You'll have to make your way through dark surroundings if you want to get out in one piece. Of course, as you might guess, things don't go as planned, and soon you have good ol' Slender to worry about. In the game, you portray a guy who makes his way through a dark locale, trying to locate certain documents that go into more detail about the back story. However, it hasn't really had a chance to make an impact on consoles until now, with Midnight City picking up the publishing rights.Īnd while the game still has a couple of good scares here and there, it just isn't quite the same beast as it was a few years ago. Slendermanoriginally debuted a few years ago on PC and has created quite a following thanks to the tall, skinny character that has its own mythology outside of video games.
