The survival horror game Hollow body finally arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on June 5, after releasing on PC in 2024. The console version will cost $17 on both platforms.
Hollow body is primarily known for its stunning PS2-era graphics and survival horror gameplay. This is an extremely impressive feat, considering the game is the work of a single developer. It was inspired by titles like Silent Hill 2but the game has more of a cyberpunk vibe than a scary city vibe.
We really enjoyed this one when it launched on PC, praising the “unnerving” setting and “wonderfully disgusting” enemies. The console version includes “many quality of life improvements”, as well as bug fixes and a third-person camera mode. There are also new puzzles.
It’s worth noting that the PS2-style graphics don’t translate to PS2-era controls. Hollow body doesn’t force players into the iconic, but frustrating, “tank” control scheme, in which pushing up moves the player forward and pushing left or right rotates them. This is available as an option for purists.
