The Quarry review – sumptuous slasher horror digs its own grave

The Quarry is everything we’ve come to expect from Supermassive’s deliciously bloody brand of horror. There are supernatural stalkings, life-and-death decisions to make, quick-time events, and plentiful gory deaths, and it’s all wrapped up in jaw-dropping graphic fidelity that is so realistic, sometimes you’ll forget it’s a game. Its characters – traditionally so irritating, it’s hard to find the will to keep them alive – are surprisingly likeable here, even if half of them spend most of the game drenched in blood and looking like a post-prom Carrie. The world you explore – an all-American summer camp that could’ve been ripped from an ’80s slasher – is every bit what you would expect. Throw in a fabulous script and natural voice performances, and The Quarry just might have been Supermassive’s greatest game to date.
