Hellraiser: Revival has such sights to show you, but "most of them pretty visceral and gruesome"

For a series as long-running as Hellraiser (nine movies, and counting), it's incredible that until next year's Hellraiser: Revival releases, there's never actually been a video game adaptation. It seems like a natural fit for a survival horror, and so far, Hellraiser: Revival is hitting all of the right notes.

The sex and gore of the game's reveal trailer, combined with the famous faces of the Cenobites and glimpses of the legendary puzzle box, have us hooked. As GamesRadar+'s own Jasmine Gould-Wilson noted back in July, it's a refreshing experience that, unlike many other horror games, isn't trying to flank Dead by Daylight. Instead, we've got a refreshingly single-player experience.
