Silent Hill Meets Ghost In The Shell - Signalis Review Survival Horror Game
Gamers across all platforms such as Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S consoles, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 as well as the Nintendo Switch and PC can get their hands on it digitally available now and will be available in February 2023 as a physical edition. It is also available in Xbox Game Pass.

Gameplay
Signalis offers a basic gameplay experience. it is a reminiscence of classical survival video games like Silent Hill and the resident Evil. It's a top down view, pixel art, survival shooter that has small melee skills and a limited inventory of six items to help you navigate the world.

It's a sci-fi only single-player narrative which brings tension home with the constant evil of melee weapons with weak ranges, forcing the battle to be conducted at arms distance, like shotguns and pistols.

It is all interconnected rooms where you search for keys or other items which aid in solving puzzles by joining items into safe rooms allowing you to use the tools that you need to be able to survive.

There are enemies that can be pushed when you don't have ammo in the pistols, or shotguns that you find in the game world when you try to comprehend why and how you're doing the things you do on this mysterious world.

The game is initially straightforward and easy, however, you'll discover that the difficulty rises dramatically in the course of the game at times, to the point of exhaustion with enemies that return to life and emerge from the floors and vents, as well as simple, easy, yet thrilling boss fights in a claustrophobic environment.

I'd say it's not your fault per say However, if you make progress in the game considerably in the course of about two or three hours into and then you take a break for a few days , coming back can be hard because the game does not provide you with the information you're expected to do next. And because the map is somewhat difficult to grasp new players might be thrown off at first however, if you follow the guides and strengthen your brain muscles, trust me, the pain is worth it.

The version of the enemy is a bit limited for me, but it was made by two individuals, so I forgive that easily because what's there is mostly simple, classical, and effective use of survival horror enemy game design.

Story
The story is set in a dystopian future and is presented in a way that prompts you to contemplate the end and significance of the story rather than just complete the game, and then be informed about the meaning of the story. You are meant to ponder it.
