That means, along with its PSX inspired retro visuals, there&#8217;s also methodical, slow combat, a limited inventory and a claustrophobic maze of tunnels with areas that you slowly unlock through exploration and puzzle solving.<\/p>\n<p>If any of that sounds interesting to you, make sure to tune in to our livestream today, which starts at 1pm BST on the video player below.
