Review: Hollow Bastion V — orbital horror that struggles to hold the distance

By Marco Delacroix PC

Hollow Bastion V is an honest entry in a franchise beginning to show its cracks. The atmosphere still delivers and the mechanics hold up, but a narrative that unravels too early keeps this from standing as a classic. A game for series fans, with its genuine qualities and recurring frustrations.

PROS

Strong atmosphere and art direction
Oppressive and highly effective sound design
Solid, well-honed survival mechanics

CONS

Narrative unravels from the mid-game onward
Déjà vu for series veterans
