Malevolence
A deliberately ugly first-person horror crawler from 2019 that trades modern graphics for pure, claustrophobic dread, if you miss early Resident Evil's tank controls and maze-like level design, this retro throwback earns a look.
GamerScout Verdict
For retro survival horror fans willing to embrace deliberately clunky controls and primitive visuals in exchange for authentic 90s-era atmosphere.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Malevolence
I went in expecting a gimmick and found something genuinely unsettling. Malevolence is a low-poly first-person horror adventure that commits hard to 90s aesthetic: jagged geometry, chunky textures, and a deliberately artificial look that somehow makes the atmosphere more oppressive, not less. You're exploring dark, interconnected environments solving puzzles and managing limited resources while things hunt you in the dark. The control scheme is clunky by modern standards (intentionally so), which makes every movement feel vulnerable. What works: the oppressive level design and sound design create real tension. What doesn't: the story is thin, and the low-poly visuals, while intentional, can make it hard to read your surroundings sometimes. It's niche as hell and short, but if you're chasing that early survival-horror fix and don't need polished production values, Malevolence delivers the goods.
