    A homage to 1990s survival horror that recognises where improvement is needed, Signalis has its own issues, but it emerges as a mostly gripping adventure. [Issue#21, p.92]

    SIGNALIS does a decent job of offering a retro survival horror experience yet it doesn't do much to make it stand out from the crowd.

    Definitely hits the nail on the head replicating a PSX era Silent Hill/RE video game. Also some    Recommend for any 90s survival horror fan.

    Definitely hits the nail on the head replicating a PSX era Silent Hill/RE video game. Also some similarities with Metal Gear Solid.

    The puzzles created are intuitive and fresh, although at the same time very typical. Combat is a little janky, but is to be expected with the genre.
