Hellraiser: Revival review: caught between copying Resident Evil Village and honoring the source

Kotaku reviewed Hellraiser: Revival, a first-person horror survival game from Saber Interactive that continues the setting of Clive Barker's Hellbound Heart, released October 8, 2026 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. After 17 hours through the credits, the reviewer found the early gunplay unsatisfying with little stagger or feedback, and the structure closely imitating Resident Evil Village. The game improves once Aidan gains Cenobite abilities and enters the Labyrinth, though the reviewer says its biggest flaw is chaining itself to imitating more popular games.
