Why you can trust 12DOVE
Yet what he lacks in drive, he makes up for in brute strength. Origins' new combat system lets you use everyday items as weapons, including scalpels, wooden planks, TV sets and toasters. Smash them about too much and they'll break. Surprisingly, this is the first SH game to feature a fighting system that doesn't suck. The rhythm action bits (wiggling free of a nurse's grip) are annoying, mind.
But other than that it's business as usual. The puzzles are as challenging and demented as ever, the levels are dense with detail and the lighting effects are stunning. Cast your flashlight over a room and you'll see shadows dancing across the walls, accurately silhouetting anything the light passes through. Sensational.
