Ju-On: The Grudge ★☆☆☆☆

Channelling the spirit of a 00s game reviewer: The scariest thing about this game is the controls!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tagline of “haunted house simulator” really does fit as this game has no ideas beyond walking through a series of corridors with the occasional jumpscare and that walking is so, so painful. I am a fan of gimmicky control systems and motion controls but this game feels like trudging through syrup at all times, inching towards the next inevitable jumpscare that will arbitrarily trigger the level to progress until Kayako finally puts you out of your misery.
