Short review : Carrion is a great, well thought game that is instantly fun and will make you feel great. If you like ramming pedestrians in GTA, you'll probably like this game. ------ I got Carrion after seeing its trailer during one of the many videogames conferences last year because it looked amazing and fun, playing this blob of sentient flesh spreading chaos and destruction on its path : it feels exactly like that playing the game. Great sensations moving using tentacles, it feels & works great. The visuals are superb, whether it is the environment, the dismembering effects splattering blood all around or the monster itself. Same thing for the audio, the screams, the crushing sounds, the music, the ambient noise, everything makes you feel like the eldricht beast you're playing, roaming in the darkness, waiting for the innocent scientist to get in the range of your tentacles. Being so powerful does not mean you can freely go as you want, you sometimes have to take your time to survive. It's a perfect balance of chaotic fun, wrecking havoc and difficulty so you don't feel like whatever you're doing, it would have been the same. The puzzles you encounter are rather nice as well, and never feel like a drag. As other people said, I understand that it wouldn't make sense for a monster to look at map but as you progress in the game, not knowing where you have to go became increasingly tiring, : man, I just wanted to split some dude in half. Easy 5-stars
