Survival horror has a habit of sanding itself down to the bare bones; gritty realism, muted palettes, darkness piled on darkness. Having played it, the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem is a great example of horror's love of the dark. And then comes I Hate This Place, which goes the other way entirely, and that’s precisely what makes it stand out.
Meridiem has announced a physical release of I Hate This Place for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, and it’s a game that feels tailor-made for a boxed edition. Loud, graphic, and unapologetically comic-book in its presentation, this is survival horror that looks like it’s been torn straight from the pages of a cult graphic novel and splattered across your screen.
