Eurogamer - The three-person Poland-based Acid Wizard Studio may not bear much name recognition yet, but it definitely seems like a diverse, talented studio to keep an eye on. Last month I wrote about its hilarious Global Game Jam winner Kevin Costner's Tatanka Hunting Simulator 2013, and now it's showing off the debut trailer for its upcoming very polished looking top-down horror roguelike Darkwood.
We've endured the purest terror in all of gaming in order to bring you this terrifying list of horror roguelikes.
Enjoy two completely different vibes this July with Games with Gold! On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, try to survive the terrors of the night in Darkwood, and then starting on July 16, puzzle your way through a whimsical tale of love, loss, and finding yourself in When the Past was Around.
For $5 a month you can get games like Call of Duty and Alan Wake Remastered on PlayStation or you can get this garbage on Xbox. Just Sayin.’
Michael Kitchin writes, "Whilst the Playstation 5 improvements don't bring much new, Darkwood remains a strong, compelling horror title. The atmosphere remains tight and gloomy and the day-to-day surviving carries a weight that still brings me some joy. On this revisit, I see more of the strings attached but there is an enduring quality to running around in the dark corners of this hostile world."

Wow, that was freaking intense and atmospheric. Nice to see the horror genre being worked on somewhere.
Excellent! This is why PC gaming is so good. Graphics don't mean a thing, it's all about the gameplay and fun factor.
