Key information
Tristan Ogilvie reviewed Hellraiser: Revival on PlayStation 5. The game is also available on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
The reviewer noted that the combat mechanics are derivative yet solid enough to provide a satisfying experience. Additionally, the game features memorable puzzles, though Ogilvie found them lacking in significant challenge.
Ogilvie criticized the game for failing to maintain tension, citing easily manipulated enemy encounters and a narrative that relies heavily on exposition rather than visual storytelling. Furthermore, the nine-hour experience suffers from repetitive boss fights and chase sequences.
While the visual design of the antagonist Pinhead is praised for its accuracy, the reviewer concluded that the rest of the game fails to reach that same level of quality.
