For this same price tag, the Switch’s current eShop library simply has many other complete experiences to offer, such as Sonic Mania, and Steam World Dig 2. Although it has a lot to offer in the first couple of hours, playing through the entire game can sometimes feel like a drag, leaving me hoping that more horror-focused experiences come to the Switch in the upcoming months.
It has incredible narrative content, but lacks in the one task it had: to leave a scaring impression on the player. Despite the fact that all these issues could easily be fixed through a patch, it is worth a notice when the game’s price tag is taken into consideration.įor about $25 CAD, players are getting roughly ten hours of content. While the console has games like Outlast 2 to its name, there weren’t too many games that really had the good scare factor that left us quaking in our boots and peeing our pants. While problems are rather rare, players can expect a multitude of errors ranging from frame rate stutters to game breaking bugs. In all seriousness, Layers of Fear: Legacy is a game that couldn’t have come sooner to the Nintendo Switch. Layers of Fear’s horror experience is occasionally made even scarier by the game’s lackluster performance. Layer of Fear: Legacy (for Nintendo Switch) – image for this review provided by Nintendo. The Nintendo Switch version changes some of this by bundling in the game’s extra dlc, which offers some extra exciting perspective on the game’s narrative, but I personally felt as if the base game should’ve delivered by itself if it really wanted to warrant its “best switch horror game” spot. Repetitiveness haunts Layers of Fear as an experience overall, as finding clues, and facing the same jump scares quickly make the experience feel dull.
For the first hour or so of my journey, I was rather scared by the game’s impressive audio and visual capabilities, but after facing the same jump scares and the same sound effects, I quickly knew what to expect. Because the game does not have a monster as is seen in many games within the genre, Layers of Fear relies purely on sound and visuals in order to terrify the player. Owners of Bloober Teams Layers of Fear: Legacy and/or Observer on Switch can get the game. Regardless of having an intriguing experience, to truly be considered a great horror game, Layers of Fear needed to deliver pure fear, and it does so, but not refreshingly enough.
