Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Is Committing to Its Unexpected Genre in a Bold Way
In the case of “Hellraiser: Revival”, the term “action survival horror” is not just a catchphrase; it seems deliberately chosen as the game aims to live up to the genre’s standards. Unlike other first-person games that focus on passively making players feel vulnerable, “Hellraiser: Revival” intends to test players more directly. As the franchise makes its debut in a playable format, its choice to equip players with weapons and encourage fighting back instead of running could become its defining characteristic.
