“The ancient and mysterious world of Stela is an impressive atmospheric and cinematic platformer with wonderful visuals and a great soundtrack. The gameplay is fun, albeit a bit simple, but is amplified with creative workarounds that keep the game alive until the end.” -Grunt 4500. Check out his full review here!
“With enough scares and truly terrifying moments that made my hairs stand on end, I would definitely recommend Infliction: Extended Cut. The atmosphere and game design is just spot on in delivering the frights. Although the gameplay is streamlined, Infliction makes up for it in an overall engaging and scary experience. The voice acting is absolutely superb!” – Hap Bains. Don’t miss his wonderful full review here!
