Some reviewers find it a decent indie horror title with a Silent Hill vibe, especially when on sale. [1][2][3] Others call it a wasted potential with generic writing, poor gameplay, and a lack of scares. [4][5][6][7]

Husk is basically a fancy walking simulator with some combat and item management thrown in to give it the veneer of a horror action adventure game and it works for the most part if you are a genre fan because the game provides enough interesting locations and set ups that should be worth the price of admission if you dig that kind of thing. Just look at the screenshots of the game. It does deliver some very nice …

Husk is a short (2-3 hours) horror walking simulator. The game features a gun that can be used both to shoot and as a melee weapon, the ammunition are scarce enough and the melee/gun play is clunky enough that enemies feel like an actual threat. The graphics, sounds and the music are all very pleasing and set a good, grim, tone. The game doesn't rely on jump scares to frighten you but on its unsettling atmosphere. …

Husk is a first-person horror game with psychological elements set in an isolated small town which explicitly compares itself to Silent Hill, Alan Wake, and Twin Peaks. Having forced myself to finish it, I can now say this is roughly equivalent to a skinny white middle-schooler from an affluent family calling himself "gangsta." I'm going to tear into this one pretty hard so let's first list the things I actually …

Husk is a horror game with a ton of wasted potential. Story: You play as Matthew. He, his wife and his daughter are on a train to Shivercliff, a small town where Matthew grew up, but suddenly the train crashes and Matt awakens after the crash to find everyone in the train has gone missing, including his family. So you venture into the town of Shivercliff to search for your family and figure out what happened to …

This game believes itself to be much more serious than it is, unfortunately. Horror games, for me, live and die on two vectors: story, and atmosphere. The story could be good with some tweaking, but it's not very well-written and even less well voice acted. The foreshadowing isn't subtle in any way, and it's ultimately the type of story you've heard a million times before. The presentation is good, the game looks …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: Nothing is catchier than adding the name Shivercliff to a town! This is where Matt goes following an unfortunate train crash as he wishes to find his wife and daughter. He keeps going all the while remembering events from his marriage and his relationship with his father, the very person in the world he sincerely hates. This means regular narration throughout the game but you should also try to interact with all the possible objects to unlock these story-related messages.…

Fave working theory is that (a) in their game, Husk thought they were each betting their soul only for Al to go teehee never had one, and (b) he just didn’t want Vox to know bc he likes when Vox is impressed with him

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not the type of person who enjoys writing negative reviews one bit, but for this game it had to happen. It starts off on a very high note, with a fairly intriguing premise, but it all falls apart very quickly once the game introduces you to the gameplay mechanics. There are no puzzles and the combat is broken. The monsters are really slow, you take a good 10 hits or so to die and their attack animation is so long you can side step it. On the plot's side, I'm afraid I have to say there are…

As time went by, it had it's ups and downs. I believe that, the execution was poor overall, that's my aftertaste. I had this weird bug where I couldn't pick up my weapon after a certain point and just like that, I couldn't progress the game. I wanted to see the ending through a video though, so that was something. Overall, mixed feelings with this one. If it's on a discount,…

neutral · AI labelView post →I've had this game in my library since 2017 and just played it today. It is a bit old, but I had fun playing it. I went into it without knowing anything about it, as I was going through random games and playing them. Can be janky, but better than most modern AAA games being held with gum and shipped out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Husk" is a horror game that fails to deliver scares, with lackluster storytelling and repetitive gameplay and boring music. Its like a constant stabbing in the back, the more you play the worst it gets. Very disappoint game and ending even more.

Screenshots are atmospheric and gorgeous, and the trailers on this page showed promise, so I thought, "Why not?" I'll tell you why not. While my computer is not the beefiest on the block, I have been able to tweak many much more graphically intensive games than this so that they will run at a decent frame…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not a terrible game. But is it a good game? No. From Bad voice acting to buggy mechanics and the fact that it is completely generic and lacks any real originality puts this game near the bottom of the totem for a recommended game unless it's on sale or included in a bundle.

You wake up after a train crash in your creepy hometown. Your wife and daughter are missing, but instead of urgency or fear, the protagonist mostly complains about his estranged father while aimlessly exploring a town that offers little reason to care. The setup hints at emotional weight, but the execution felt flat. In the hour I played, I saw…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Psychological walking sim with some gunplay. Its not really a survival game, running away is the best tactic. Some technical issues, major frame drops in transitional areas. Thought the voice acting was excellent. Can recommend in a heavy sale only 5.75/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Almost but not quite. The game starts out interesting enough with animated characters and what seems to be an adult mystery narrative. However, a foreboding sense of bad pacing starts to instill early on when you start to walk from train car to train car, looking at inconsequential interactive items and acknowledging one decent pseudo scare. The sound design and sense of dread early on is, despite the glacial pacing and walking sim gameplay, actually pretty decent and keeps you going to find…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you like Silent Hill? What about an oppressive atmosphere? How about puzzles? Fun? Well if you answered yes to any of those, then stay away from Husk. Husk is incredibly boring with so many forced walking sections, movement and gunplay which is feels heavy and clunky. The story is bland and obvious. Nothing even really happens in Husk, save your money. For my Review of Husk check out my video here: https://youtu.be/AXd9M82SiEw
