Description: Downward Spiral: Horus Station takes players through a lost vessel abandoned by its crew with a complete focus on visual storytelling for single player or two-player online co-op. Players will have to piece together the plot through observation and interpretation as they navigate the derelict space station’s environmental storytelling, accompanied by the electronic ambient soundtrack composed by platinum-selling HIM frontman Ville Valo. In addition to Horus Station’s story campaign, there’s eight-player PvP and PvE multiplayer modes including Deathmatch and Horde.
Review: Downward Spiral: Horus Station isn’t a bad game at all. The problem is that it isn’t a great game like it should have been. With its free-floating space feeling, good graphics and deep multiplayer offering, this should have been a must-play game for the PSVR, but it all feels so…meh to play. This is one of those games that would benefit from a demo so you can try before you buy, as I suspect most people won’t buy and hench forth the reason it doesn’t have a demo to try. But maybe it is one to keep an eye out for in a sale. Just make sure it is a good sale before you buy it.
