Screenshot by Destructoid While REANIMAL is very enjoyable as a horror experience, its main downfall is that it is an exceptionally short one, especially for a $40 game. Thankfully, only one person needs to own the game to play it with a friend, but it still feels shockingly quick, even if this is Tarsier's M.O. from previous titles.

The co-op aspect adds replayability, along with collectibles to find throughout the multiple scary locales. While there's some desire to complete multiple playthroughs, please know that the game can be easily beaten in one sitting.

I must recommend playing with a friend, though. And with the free friend's pass, all you have to do is get them to download it. The co-op partner AI is spotty sometimes, getting stuck on obstacles while trying to escape enemies, and platforming is also a little inconsistent, but there's a lot of fun to be had with somebody else along for the ride.

The game is also quite generous with checkpoints, leading to multiple trial-and-error moments as you figure out how to navigate certain segments of the game, and this does detract from the tension a little bit.

Still, the lightning-fast four hours I spent on my first playthrough of REANIMAL were memorable and anxious, and a season pass included in the game's deluxe edition hints at more to come, but that will run you some extra cash if you're so inclined.
