Five-against-one horror multiplayer We’ve seen some admirable attempts at asymmetric horror games, but none of them have quite clicked for me. There’s still an opening for a studio to own this genre whether it’s with licensed characters or original creations that draw inspiration from iconic monsters and villains.
