Stunning graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4.
Kholat is also available on Nintendo Switch & PC.
This thrilling story will keep you at the edge of your seat and will leave you wanting to know more about these events. Kholat won’t disappoint the fans of the genre and is worth a try.
A poignant and masterfully haunting affair, Kholat’s flawed narrative and sparse environments aren’t enough to considerably detract from its overwhelming atmospherics and sense of adventure.
Though technically unpolished, at at times frustrating, Kholat's imposing mountain is impressive. A good few hours of horror, hiding, swearing and reloading await. [May 2016, p.86]
Kholat on PS4 is almost as good as the original PC version, but offers some minor hiccups like an unstable framerate.
Kholat could have been an amazing game, but it just isn't. It's based on a true story and looks great. The game start really good, but then slips away in boredom. The tension it needs just fades away really quickly.
It's partly a walking simulator, but the gameplay delivers some unexpected turns. The young development team clearly lacks experience, but it's still a promising first step.
Grievously weighed down by its unforgiving orienteering mechanic, tedious gameplay and frame-rate issues, Kholat is more likely to leave you with your head aching rather than your head spinning.
