its one of the best renditions of Slender available. not only sparked by a massive wave of Youtuber playtime, but it brings a new light to the Tale of The Slenderman creating an instant Indie Horror Classic. Its a must play for any horror fans looking for something new to take on. Slender: The Arrival had great visuals for its time, paired with an interesting soundtrack sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. it may not be the horror games of today, but its a throwback worth trying at least once.

Short but thrilling horror experience that perfectly blends classic gameplay with a modern visual overhaul. The light jumpscares are enough to keep your heart rate up, but never feel cheap or overwhelming, making it accessible even for casual horror players. One of its strongest points is the nostalgic gameplay loop of collecting pages while being stalked by the ever-creepy Slender Man. It’s simple, yet effective, and still captures the tension that made the original so iconic. The story is more intriguing than you’d expect from a game in this genre, mysterious and unsettling, with enough lore sprinkled in to keep you curious throughout. Major props go to the developers for sticking with this project. Instead of rebranding it with a flashy “remake” label, they committed to updating the original with beautifully enhanced graphics and technical improvements. It’s rare to see such dedication, and it shows just how passionate they are about their game and community.

100% Achievement Review: A quick review based on my experience completing all the (available) achievements. Title: Slender: The Arrival Summary: Horror puzzle game Personal notes: I played this originally on Xbox and thought I would give the 10 year anniversary update a go. You probably already know the story of the Slender-man and if you somehow don't, I would recommend going in blind. This game has some aspects reminiscent to other Slender games and some brand new ones. I won't delve into the story too much though as I don't want to spoil the experience. I will applaud how much extra content the developers have introduced over the years. The updated graphics are quite well done and only add to this already scary experience. With this in mind, AI is still very frustrating to deal with in some scenarios. I would also like to mention that a couple of the achievements are very buggy such as Insta-killed or I Escaped. I had to retry those many times with different strategies from YouTube. If this wasn't the case the difficulty would be lower but as it stands it's quite frustrating. Overall though it's a fun short horror game. Would grab on sale. Time it took to complete: 8hrs Most difficult achievement(s): - Fearless (Beat the game on "Hardcore" difficulty) - Speed Runner 1/2/3 (Various speed run achievements) - The Collector 1/2 (Find all scrapbook items/numbered letters) Difficulty rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10 Overall rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10

I remember playing this game back in 2014. I was a little kid but damn, this game was so scary to me. I remember thinking that Slenderman was real and that he was going to kill me and my whole family LMAO. Good times. But yeah, this game is decent for people who aren't biased from nostalgic reasons.
