Bendy and the Dark Revival is a premium action game for PC coming from developer Joey Drew Studios. It is a first-person survival horror set in a creepy animation studio. In it, players will have to face and survive encounters with ink-like monsters as they try to escape.

As the highly anticipated sequel to Bendy and the Ink Machine, Bendy and the Dark Revival employs the same classic cartoon art style of its predecessor that blends 2D and 3D designs. It introduces a new protagonist, as well as a host of new terrifying creatures to face.

Pitch black ink

Bendy and the Dark Revival centers around Audrey, who finds herself inside a creepy abandoned animated studio of Joey Drew Studios. However, things turn for the worse as this once prestigious place is now overrun with ink-tainted enemies called Ink Demons that lurk its halls and are ever-present. She must find a way to escape while dealing with these creatures coming after her.

In Bendy and the Dark Revival, stealth and agility are your biggest strengths, and the ability to avoid encounters with enemies will determine your survival. Your primary way of defending yourself is with the Gent Pipe, serving double duty as a melee weapon and tool for puzzles. Speaking of puzzles, there will be many puzzle-solving tasks involving hunting for specific parts and items to unlock doors and such.

As you progress, the narrative slowly unravels to shed light on the circumstances that have led to your current situation. Discover the truth behind what happened to Joey Drew Studios. You'll even get to meet familiar faces from the first game. Unfortunately, the game is riddled with various small bugs and glitches like a shaky camera, inconsistent control sensitivity, and enemies occasionally getting stuck in place.

Good but could be a lot better

Bendy and the Dark Revival is a worthy successor that goes back to the original's art style and refines it further. The result is a hauntingly beautiful game with challenging puzzles and interesting enemies. While there are still many little bugs to iron out, they don't detract from the overall engaging experience. Returning fans will be pleased and it's a great entry point for newcomers.
