Carrion

I missed Carrion on its initial release, and was pleasantly surprised it was on Play Pass with all the DLC. It really captures the vibe of The Thing and other similar body horror (especially when enemies with flamethrowers start showing up). The controls take a bit of getting used to, but there are many save points so it's not overly frustrating. There's also some environmental puzzle solving and creative ways to approach clearing rooms. Highly recommended!

I never even heard of this game until I saw it on Google Play, but it is addicting fun. It's like an action puzzle game where you also often have to be sneaky to take out threats. The controls take getting used to, but being an amorphous monster, you could say that a little awkward control is part of playing such a being. Save points are super plentiful, so you won't hurt much if you die here and there.

The game hooked me since the start of the demo- I was a little annoyed I had to pay to get more than two levels, but it was really worth it! the gameplay is smart, fun, challenging, with many strategies and a good difficulty that sometimes keeps you guessing. I enjoyed the puzzles and the concept a lot, as well as the atmosphere. the only thing I could criticize is the lack of directions that sometimes forces you to search in details and can cause you to loop because you missed the exit-
