Remorse: The List

If you just want to be creeped out first and worry about story second, then Remorse: The List might just be worth adding to your to-play list.

Remorse: The List is a game that needs to be on everyone's radar. Some little annoyances aside, the feelings you will get from this game, with its unique atmosphere and genuine spooks, make for a fantastic horror experience.

Remorse: The List has the potential to be a good addition to the Switch horror library, as it delivers a mysterious plot, satisfying puzzles to solve, and free exploration that fits the genre very well. Regrettably, this version does not appear to be complete, preventing me from progressing in the final minutes. Therefore, what remains is to hope that a future update will resolve this issue.

Producing a sense of loss and vulnerability, Remorse: The List embraces bloody situations, images of explicit violence and grotesque dangers.

I do appreciate the effort that went into Remorse: The List. The developers had a strong vision and did their best to execute on it. On a technical level, I also found it to be quite impressive for the Switch. There are much bigger games that struggle to lift to this visual and mechanical quality on that hardware. But, unfortunately, at the end of the day, this is a horror game where its enemies – which it relies on far too much to carry the experience – are more likely to make you giggle than sweat. That’s a death knell for any horror experience.

Remorse: The List is just another UE4 indie-horror from young developers, but still there is some charm in it.

Even with its jittery zombies and somewhat buggy nature Remorse can deliver some surprises, but it’s hard to ignore some of its issues
