Crow Country

Cute graphics, great story and unique combat make Crow Country one of the best indie horror's I have experienced to date. I cannot stress enough how high quality this is and you'll have never played anything like it.

At this point, the legend of Crow Country is well known. It's made the rounds for horror fans and many know it to be a great spin on the survival horror genre. It's a hidden gem in its own way, but perfectly well known for those in the know. Anyhow, I've come to the party a bit late, only two years or so after its release, but I'd grabbed it around the time it came out. What held me? Nothing. I am now going to actually talk about the game: It's good! I mean, of course it's good. The aesthetic is well done and, to me, fairly unique in its execution. While it is of course hitting upon that "PSX" nostalgia horror aesthetic, I think it does so in a way that isn't actually emulating any particular game or games, but instead is forging its own path. it has all the trappings of your typical survival horror and I cannot say that it really shakes up the genre, but the end result is undeniably clean and well put together. To speak to the puzzle aspect of the game, which I would say is its main focus as far as real gameplay is concerned, I'll speak positively. This is no mindmelter of a puzzle game, but each puzzle is fun and intuitive to interact with. The only time I was stumped was when…

Story and graphics were great, shot game, but very immersive. Instant classic!

Honestly i bought this game on a whim and turned to be 20$ well spent

Crow Country's story and gameplay are quite standard and don't break new ground, but the execution is done really well. The visual and audio design are excellent, and together they result in a creepy, mysterious atmosphere. It's not a long game, but it's very enjoyable during those few hours. The price is a little high.

A lot of the time when picking up a new game, the first 10-30 minutes has to set the tone properly. If not I can just hop back on whatever free to play nonsense is out there nowadays. Crow Country sets the tone almost right out of the gate. A game that envelopes itself in that 90s survival horror aesthetic. However it feels more cutesy rather than scary, creepy at best but not really. If you're someone who's always wanted to try the genre out, I would say this game is great training wheels for your journey.
