The Gamer recently reviewed Halloween: The Game, the asymmetrical stealth horror game developed and published by IllFonic, co-published with Gun Interactive, alongside partners Compass International Pictures and Further Front. The review praises the atmosphere and graphical fidelity, which create an unparalleled presentation of terror, especially when paired with its iconic antagonist.
Michael Myers is uniquely unsettling. He is not particularly complicated, nor even particularly fast, but he has mastered the art of simply being there. You turn a corner, and the man is standing exactly where you least want him to be. Halloween: The Game understands that kind of horror. It is a game built around anticipation: the waiting and the creeping suspicion that you are not as alone as you thought.
Halloween plays out like a game of cat-and-mouse between the lumbering Michael Myers and up to four citizens attempting to escape the town of Haddonfield. While the survivors have numbers on their side and can enlist the aid of friendly NPCs against Myers, the odds are still stacked against them. If keeping yourself alive isn’t hard enough, the survivors also need to protect a handful of hapless NPCs, which serve as Myers’ objective in each match.
