Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival

Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.

Very Positive · 93%2026

US Steam price, checked 6 h ago

The verdict

A gory, uncensored, very faithful Hellraiser survival horror in the Resident Evil mold, with great atmosphere. Combat, checkpoints and resources are weak, so skip it if gameplay matters most.

Great for

Hellraiser fans and gore-tolerant Resident Evil 7/Village fans who value atmosphere and art over polished combat

Main risk

Clunky, repetitive combat, stealth and chase sections with scarce resources can wear thin after a few hours

What players love

Faithful to Hellraiser lore and feel

Mentioned in ~2 in 5 positive reviews

“Excellent game. It's actually Hellraiser! All existing characters that take part in this game, the Cenobites and Leviathan, adhere to their personalities, goals and mannerisms we know from the first two movies.”
