CARRION

"Carrion is an interesting metroidvania that starts from a different and interesting idea (you&s;re the monster), that horror films lovers and metroidvania games fans will enjoy. Even with its wonderful pixel art, great ideas and wonderful progression, the final chunk …"

"Carrion makes being a vicious monster satisfyingly simple and captivatingly gruesome, even if it doesn&s;t always capitalize on its strengths."

"Carrion is a superb actioner staring an alien mass."

"With the gameplay flow struggling to find a pulse, the novelty of controlling a monster doesn&s;t fully take shape"

"Regardless of the few gripes I have with Carrion, the title is such an original idea that it&s;s very easy to recommend."

"There just isn&s;t a reason to play Carrion. There is little narrative, repetitive combat, limited puzzles, and almost zero horror elements. The atmosphere is okay and it reminds me of Alien but that&s;s about as far as it goes with …"

"Carrion delivers on its unique &s;reverse-horror game&s; concept, letting players wreak havoc as a massive, disgusting blob of tentacles and teeth."

"Carrion is a fun but flawed 2D horror game with a fun hook. It doesn&s;t play perfectly, and the controls are particularly hit-or-miss, but overall, there&s;s a lot of fun to be had when you get to be the monster …"

"Carrion turns the horror genre on its head by letting you be the monster this time in a Metroidvania style game, which serves as the perfect type game to pick up and play between many of the other larger scale …"

"A squirming body horror labyrinth whose mix of ability-gating and backtracking slightly cramps its matchless creature design."

"In Carrion we will revive with a retro pixel aesthetic the fear of a horror movie from the 80&s;s, only in this case we will be in the place of the monster. A very fun game to enjoy from start …"

"Carrion reverses the roles of the horror genre beautifully, and playing as a monster has never been so disgustingly enjoyable."

"Despite the gameplay and level design being pretty middling, we still think this game is worth a spin. It’s all about the atmosphere, and the organism itself, both of which are rousing successes and worth the price of entry alone."

"Carrion is a fun reverse-horror adventure, though it doesn&s;t push the concept to the heights of its potential."

"If you&s;re looking for a cathartic pick-up-and-play game with little to no fat that you can slip in between this summer&s;s massive story-driven titles, that&s;s Carrion all the way. It&s;s a devilish snack."

"There&s;s plenty that Carrion gets right beyond the fluidity and attention to detail its horrific, blood-red monstrosity is given."

"CARRION mixes familiar and alien elements to produce a memorably brutal inversion of the horror genre."

"An intriguing and promising premise isn&s;t enough to keep Carrion from feeling like empty calories."

"Carrion nails the power fantasy of being a horror movie monster, but makes exploration a chore that pads the adventure."

"Carrion is a great concept that becomes repetitive in practice."

"Carrion is a fascinating reversal of the typical Metroidvania. Playing as a hungry, tentacle abomination is fast, fluid and unnerving. My only complaint is that there is no mapping function, which can make progression a chore."

"Inspired by a 1950s sci-fi horror movie, Carrion turns you into a malign marauding blob, swallowing scientists whole"

"Easy to pick up and play, CARRION is original, absorbing and entertaining.It also has an excellent soundtrack – it’s cinematic horror vibe is the perfect accompaniment for the bloodbath that ensues."

"Turning the horror game genre on its head, Carrion is a gory delight for you rip and tear your way through."

"Inspired by Carpenter and the 80s body horror, Carrion reverses the roles and puts us in the shoes of a formless and lethal creature, in a fluid, fast and extremely choreographic metroidvania. Some AI problems and a not always inspired …"

"Carrion is a special thing in many ways, but its actual meat and potatoes structure is as formulaic as the genre gets. Thankfully, its core gameplay of tearing room after room of people into wet chunks of corpse never, ever …"

"Carrion presents you with an opportunity to take the reigns of an invading monster, and it delivers on all fronts with visceral gore and effects that translate vividly even through its pixelated style. The lack of a map combined with …"

"In our current market oversaturated media, there is something invaluable in a game that doesn’t waste your time."
