On the surface, Crow Country is an appeal to nostalgia in the same way as Dusk or the recent crop of modernized boomer shooters. With a quasi-fixed camera, fuzzy, polygonal visuals, and mechanics lifted from old-school Resident Evil and Silent Hill, it appears, at a glance, like a calculated appeal to your gaming memories - it's even set in the '90s. But there's a smart wrinkle in the setup, a little narrative twist that I won't spoil, that lends Crow Country a more cynical, subversive edge when it comes to the idea of skipping back in time. Rightly beloved on Steam, SFB's plucky survival horror game is now cheaper than ever alongside five other recent genre hits.
