Gaming reviews highlight immersive soundtracks and folklore-themed horror

Recent reviews highlight diverse experiences in the gaming industry, ranging from immersive musical compositions to atmospheric horror.

The soundtrack for The Blood of Dawnwalker, composed by Nikola Kołodziejczyk with contributions from artists including Karolina Matuszkiewicz and Piotr Musiał, is noted for its organic and detailed soundscape. Utilizing instruments such as the Polish fidel, Iranian kemanche, kobyz, and white singing, the music creates a neomedieval atmosphere rooted in Carpathian sounds while occasionally integrating modern electric guitars.

In the horror genre, the game Hariti by studio Ghostcase utilizes Chinese folklore to build tension within an abandoned hospital setting. While the game is praised for its atmosphere and unique camera mechanics, it has been noted for relying on predictable jumpscares and having a rushed conclusion.
