Bloober Team's best game, but not a scary horror game - critics gave Layers of Fear (2023) a mixed reception

The psychological horror game Layers of Fear has been released.

The Bloober Team has received a mixed reception from critics, with scores ranging from 90 to 50.

Here's What We Know

The updated and expanded version of Layers of Fear received:

• on Metacritic - 74 points on PS5, 73 on PC and 70 points on Xbox Series;
• on OpenCritic - 74 points and 58% recommendations.

Critics have described Layers of Fear as a high-tech and sophisticated horror game that isn't terribly scary, though. Many journalists found it boring to wander the dark corridors and gloomy rooms for 13 hours.

Most likely, the gameplay, which was relevant in 2016, now looks outdated, but critics noted that the updated version of Layers of Fear became the best project of the Polish studio at the moment.
