00:00Millennials discussing video games these days feels a lot like grandpa telling you how hard he used to have it.
00:08In my day, we only had eight inventory slots, and the controller had to be plugged into the console.
00:14Signalis, from two-person developer Rose Engine, is a clear love letter to PS1-era classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, for better and for worse.
00:30In a genre where every game design choice is about putting the player on edge, Signalis goes all in.
00:38It's part of a newer trend of modern games, resurrecting old-school game mechanics such as resource scarcity, fixed camera angles, tanky gunplay, manual saves only, and limited inventory space.
00:51That last is something of a mixed bag in survival horror games, a deliberate design choice that puts added stress on the player.
00:59The fact that it leads to inevitable backtracking here only serves to heighten the suspense as you tiptoe past enemies that don't stay dead.
01:08Not content with merely paying homage to a bygone era, Signalis blends the old with the new.
01:15Replete with low poly count models, dystopian retro tech art design evoking Alien and Neon Genesis Evangelion,
01:23and some inventive first-person sequences thrown in for good measure.
01:28One of the best-rated games of 2022, Signalis is out now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
