Platform(s): PC (version reviewed), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D side-scrolling survival horror shooter in caves Hidden Deep has all the pretty bells and whistles that would’ve blown my mind if it was a flash game that came out 10 years ago, when flash games were my only access to games at the time.
