*Game Download Code supplied for review purposesĬarrion Devolver Digital eshop horror metroidvania Nicolas Dunai nintendo switch physical Review Special Reserve With no reservations you’ll destroy anything in site, even seemingly innocent bystanders. This mixed with the visceral gameplay makes you feel like the monster you control. The game’s job is to constantly make you feel uneasy. As opposed to having melodies play, atmospheric tunes will play in moments of interest or action to raise the mood and heighten the tension. Much like the graphics, the sounds are gross and meaty. Destroyed objects, and even people seem to stick around too, with the blood, truly showing the chaos you’ve brought. Pull these cars on the track around and toss them at people. Destroy these computers, knock crates and doors around. Also of note with the environments is how destructible things in the way get. Each area has a theme, but none of the rooms feel that samey, so I’d have to chock my issues up to not having the best spacial awareness. The game never outright railroads you, even if it hints where the right path is. Perhaps it’s my lack of skill in the genre (or brains), but I found myself getting lost a handful of times. I never once felt like I was in an unfair situation. The game allows for a stealth approach as to not incite a fight, so turning invisible can make those tough encounters relatively easy. Or just ram right though a group of people to make for a quick an easy meal. Maybe use your webs to incapacitate someone for an easy kill. With your abilities though, you can turn the tides. While the game starts off with people just doing their jobs, effectively harmless, it ramps up rather quickly, with guns, shock shields that require you grab from behind, to security wielding flamethrowers that will quickly take you out. These are just a few and all of these have use when you’re surrounded by other living things and either need to eat or defend yourself. Even go stealthy and slide right through a motion sensor as long as you have enough energy to do so. Ram through barriers you wouldn’t be able to normally pull away. Say by chance you can’t reach a switch through what may be blocking you, throw a web and pull it through. Using this with a combination with one of the four shoulder buttons to grab your prey or use abilities you earn throughout your beastly carnage. This is all performed with the left stick, with the right stick, you control your tentacles. Movement isn’t standard, you’re not walking and jumping around to explore, but clinging and crawling on walls and ceilings. In spite of this, the game doesn’t feel like generic indie fare. It’s a rather pretty game, but still has an “indie feel”. Spritework is great and there’s independent lighting, be it from lamps, computers, lasers, the sunlight. The world is interconnected, segmented by themes and hazard types, much like a “Metroidvania”. The premise of Carrion is unique, but a format in which it’s presented has a very indie feel to it. With the satisfying feel of of the feral act, eat. Their blood fills rooms, their screams echo while you tear them down. Escape from your prison and find your way throughout this facility, eating defenseless and some not so defenseless humans to sustain.

Nasty, bloody, inhuman, full of tentacles.
To properly describe how Carrion plays is to describe the monster in the game. Carrion is one of these games, aptly titled Reverse Horror. Playing as a monster on the otherhand opens up so many possibilities.
While not a bad thing, most games as a hero fall into the same kind of feel. While not a new idea by any means, there’s always a novelty factor to playing as a villain or monster. Published By: Devolver Digital (Digital), Special Reserve Games (Physical)
