Phantaruk Review – Hey Poor Player
HPP: Survival horror has come a long way from the Resident Evils and Silent Hills of yesteryear. Bring us to 2010 when Amnesia set a new standard for horror-titles. Simple, dark, and defenseless, the player is forced to explore dangerous territory carefully. Much like Amnesia, Phantaruk takes the helpless-player approach and guides the player through various set pieces with an indestructible monster looking to ruin your day. It’s definitely a staple that’s starting to saturate the genre, but it’s hard for me to complain since this approach is still effective despite flaws.
