Burial

Burial was… okay! And I don’t mean that in a bad way. The atmosphere is definitely creepy, the jumpscares are well done, and the story felt original enough that it didn’t come across as recycled horror tropes. You play as a videographer who’s been hired to film a wake inside an old Soviet-era apartment, and it doesn’t take long to realize that something very wrong is lurking within those walls. Oh—and sitting right there in the middle of the room? A closed coffin, because of course it is. The setup works, and the tension builds nicely. There are several good jumpscares that absolutely do their job, and the game knows how to make you uneasy without overcomplicating things. That said, it didn’t quite cross into “great” territory for me. While it’s effective, it’s not one of those games that really sticks in your memory long after you’re done playing. Nothing about it stood out enough to make it unforgettable—but it also never felt like a waste of time. Overall, Burial is a solid horror game. It does what it sets out to do, and I think a lot of people will genuinely enjoy it—especially if you like atmospheric horror with a straightforward premise. I’d still recommend it… just don’t go in expecting it to be your new all-time favorite.
