Scorn is a relentlessly unsettling delve into a surreal, macabre world of alien mystery, but the scariest thing about it is the dreadful combat.
Checkpoint woes and a short runtime couldn’t keep this body horror sci-fi game from burrowing into my skull.
Scorn works wonders with Giger’s and Beksiński’s artwork, not only in terms of aesthetic fidelity but in creating a world that’s utterly strange to exist in. This is a violent, painful, but fascinating place, thick with symbolism and interlocking puzzles that hint at some terrifying grand design. While it can be overly obscure and frustrating, especially in combat, Scorn serves up one hell of a journey.
