The chills are handheld-sized, but no less horrifying

There are some cheap scares (like monsters leaping suddenly out of the shadows, Resident Evil-style) and the story's a bit all over the place, but Origins is accomplished, well designed and a worthy successor to the console quadrilogy. Just be warned that it's as slow and relentlessly dreary as you'd expect a SH game to be, and doesn't have enough new ideas of its own to make it essential.

You'll love
  • Great atmosphere you're used to
  • Best combat yet in a SH game
  • Yes, it scares
You'll hate
  • Story lacks focus
  • Some lame jump-scares
  • Slow and dreary
