Description: HINGE is a VR horror that takes place in a nightmarish building filled with high-quality graphics and sound effects. The game creates an environment of suspense as you struggle for survival in an oppressive atmosphere of horror that chases you wherever you go.
Review: On the whole, there really isn’t much wrong with ‘HINGE: Episode 1’. While I could moan about the lack of movement options what there is gets the job done, but I know many people have teleport movement. The game sure does look great and has a spooky atmosphere from the off and it does have some great jump-scares without having to resort to pitch-darkness to achieve them. I did find myself getting confused as for what to do next a few times, but I worked it out in the end which was mostly down to myself not looking on the ground. Overall I do like the game, sure it’s a little short in length and needs much more optimization, but I enjoyed playing every last bit of it. I would definitely wait for a sale price before giving it a go, but if you like your VR horrors, this is well worth picking up.
