Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Has Such Sights to Show You

By Aileene-Bjork Novascotia, Staff Writer After finishing Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, I can proudly say: I cannot unsee any of that. Nevertheless, what 10 hours I spent with this chain-wrapped, pin-covered experience were mostly a blast, as it graced me with a flavor of graphic survival horror I hadn’t tasted before. It’s definitely bigger on style than substance and has some rough edges, but like one of the Cenobites’ victims in the Hellraiser universe, the game had me hooked ever since I laid my eyes on it. Hellraiser: Revival begins with a masochism-filled sex scene where the protagonist, Aidan Lynch, uses a new toy on his girlfriend, Sunny, which unbeknownst to him is the franchise’s iconic puzzle box. This ends up summoning Cenobites to come and brutally rip her apart. However, all is not lost. When Aidan learns he can bring Sunny back, he decides to fight tooth and nail to make sure he does. If you couldn’t tell, this game is absolutely not for kids.
