Carrion is a fascinating reversal of the typical Metroidvania. Playing as a hungry, tentacle abomination is fast, fluid and unnerving. My only complaint is that there is no mapping function, which can make progression a chore.

I usually grow tired of Metroidvanias pretty quickly, but Carrion had me hooked. There's something to be said for putting players in the metaphorical shoes of a literal bloodthirsty monster - and that something is: it's super fun.

Turning the horror game genre on its head, Carrion is a gory delight for you rip and tear your way through.
