It’s okay. The premise of the game is interesting. You play as a monster and then have to break out and kill those in your way. The idea is cool, but in execution I wasn’t a fan. I got really annoyed at how often the game would force you to change forms and solve puzzles. I thought the game would be a power fantasy type of game where you just run through and kill everything. That’s probably my mistake for placing that expectation on the game.

Without the puzzles, the game would be shorter than it already is. So is that bad? No. But for me it was. I have enough stress in my life as is. Being able to relax can be stressful in and of itself. It always feels like I have other things to do and relaxing can get in the way of that.

When I play a game, I used to do it to relax and have fun. But nowadays I would rather read a book or something else. When I find myself dying often, getting lost, unsure of what to do, or reading obstacles in games I don’t like that. I just want an easy ride with minimal pushback. Carrion had many points where I was lost, I died often, and found myself getting frustrated. Never enough to rage, but frustrated enough to wonder why I’m still playing.

I do think this is a good game and people will enjoy it. But this game was not for me. I clearly have different priorities and this game was not one that I enjoyed all the way.
