The Real Review

Most people digging this horror game agree it absolutely nails the Hellraiser atmosphere and story, with the Cenobites and the Labyrinth being standout highlights. Where it stumbles is in the moment-to-moment gameplay, as the clunky combat and frustrating difficulty are a major turnoff for many. It's a solid, atmospheric horror experience on PS5 or PC, especially if you're a fan, but don't expect the action to feel as good as it looks.
