Critic Reviews
Layers of Fear Review
Ultimately, Layers of Fear exists as a chilling cinematic experience that is capable of more than a few scares along the way. Uncovering the game's narrative is largely enjoyable and will forever keep you guessing, as clues feel well paced and each horrifying set piece is related. The game may rely on a few too many jump scares and voice acting may feel off at times, but there's still no denying that Layers of Fears is a truly memorable and massively creepy experience.
75%Layers Of Fear Review – Finish It
Layers of Fear is an experience that no fan of the horror genre should pass on. With its unnerving atmosphere, engaging plot/characters and psychedelic visions, Layers of Fear invites players to a nightmare they won't be forgetting anytime soon (though the linear gameplay won't be etched in their memories).
78%Layers of Fear
The story unravels through such collectibles: fragments of notes, newspaper clippings and assorted memorabilia, frequently triggering half-remembered flashbacks for the character. Some are key and mandatory, others peripheral and optional. Whether you collect or pass them by, the outline of the story is always visible and compelling enough to add an emotional weight to the depictions of physical and metaphysical horror. The key challenge in such games is always forcing yourself to play them because of their content, enthralling but psychologically challenging as it is, but there’s also a number of weirdly abstract and also more literal puzzles populating the environment, forcing you to wrack your probably distraught mind. It’s never The Witness, but one puzzle in particular had me scratching my head a little. Unlike the Resident Evil series where puzzles always feel like an annoyance, here they provide a welcome respite from a greater sense of threat.
