Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the cruellest of them all?
It's astonishing how, eight years on and now freshly added to Game Pass, Darkest Dungeon still manages to feel unlike anything else. Blown up on my telly, this could easily be something new. That horror-movie voice over still shakes my bones, that paper-drawn art still oozes style. But it's not that which really stands the game apart.
Think on it: in Darkest Dungeon, you send a team of four characters - I'm loath to call them heroes, actually, for most are anything but - into dungeons underneath and around the hamlet you're rebuilding. And on those missions, a number of things can happen to them. They can simply take too much damage and die - as in, permanently die.
Campfires are actually only one of the moments you'll catch a breath, and each character has a variety of things they can do during them. Note the little squares underneath a character's health bar. That's the stress gauge.
