Darkenstein 3D Director's Cut PS5 Review - Hobo John Wick Vs Nazis

Published by Dolores Entertainment S.L. and developed by ROWYE, Darkenstein 3D Director's Cut hits the PS5 today well after it's debut on PC, for better or for worse. Harkening back to a bygone era of humor and horror filled 90's boomer shooters like Duke Nukem and Wolfenstein we find a story rich and fully voiced campaign with bonus challenges tied to an unnamed hobo, who like John Wick, is out to seek revenge for his dog. 

This revenge mission, if you can call it that, has the hound loving hobo facing off against Nazis, Nazi zombies, and a whole other host of enemies hellbent on using his dog as experiment fodder. As said hobo you will brave 13 labyrinthine stages filled with weapons, secrets, gated access, hazards, and a companion rat that can be used to circumvent traps or distract guards. The route you take is up to you, but mind your timing as this is an oldschool score based speedrun affair where points are tallied for efforts rendered.
