Lone Survivor review | Select Start Media

"Choosing to avoid the ahh-monster-in-your-face route taken by far too many horror games these days, Lone Survivor will bring back fond, if pant-wetting, memories of the glory days of true horror video games, only enhanced by the numerous direct references to some of Byrne’s favourite games. This is a game that refuses to hold your hand; instead, it’ll push you into the deep end of the swimming pool and laugh at you kicking and spluttering. Maybe it’s not as good as the games I love so much from the golden age of horror, yet it can stand proud as one of the best of this generation. No, you’re not going to jump out of your seat and knock your head on the ceiling, but every second of Lone Survivor is crafted with such skill that you’ll always be ready to." | Matt McLeod, Select Start Media
