Monstrum is a game that is built around its environment, and monsters entirely dictating what experience you will have. While it doesn't have the most original of starting points and there are some elements of the game that don't always work, it's still a fun ride if you love being challenged in your horror titles.

Monstrum crafts a genuinely frightening game of procedurally generated hide and seek. As you awaken on a derelict cargo ship and explore its halls, it quickly becomes apparent something else is there with you.

Sadly, Monstrum on the Xbox One is a poor attempt at an interesting concept. The abandoned ship isn’t the most unique setting for a horror game but being pursued by a bloodthirsty monster should provide at least some tension. Instead it is a laborious plod through samey corridors where sometimes being caught by the monster is preferable than having to perform the same objectives over and over again just to escape.
