Review Layers of Fear (PS5) - A Collection That Brilliantly Reframes the Series

Bloober Team has had a time of it when it comes to making games. The original Layers of Fear was a resounding success upon launch back in 2016.

Child's slay
We liked psychological walking sim Layers of Fear, so we're up for a few more hours poking around the protagonist's painterly house from the viewpoint of his daughter.

Picture perfect
As a Virgo, this author is all too familiar with the perils of perfectionism. Layers of Fear is a brilliant, brief psychological thriller which asks one very poignant question: how far is too far?
