The monster is fleshy mess a red blob of tentacles and entrails, along with a furiously sharp mouth that it’s going to make great use of, and frequently. In context it can be very artful, and Carrion is one gorily effective canvas.Ĭarrion is a horror game where you play as the monster a thoroughly mundane “twist” that led the publisher, Devolver Digital, to do a very silly thing and dub the experience “anti-horror”, when it is anything but subversive to horror.
I often criticise extreme violence on this here Website, but it’s games like Carrion that demonstrate that I’m not inherently against violence. Carrion is exquisitely violent, evocatively malevolent, and simultaneously grotesque and beautiful. I’m actually tempted to leave my review at that, because that describes the game’s core motif and aesthetic, its principle appeal, and it’s the perfect word to describe whether the game is right for you or not.
