- Possessor(s) is a fast-paced action game that initially failed to live up to its promising reveal trailer.
- The game follows Luca, a girl possessed by Rehm, a demon from another realm, as she navigates a post-catastrophe world.
- Despite an initial slow start, the gameplay picks up pace and becomes intense and action-packed.
- The game features striking 2D character animation, gorgeous 3D backgrounds, and moody music that sets the tone for its dark atmosphere.
- Overall, while the game didn’t quite meet expectations after the reveal trailer, it’s still worth playing to experience its unique blend of action and possession mechanics.

The final game, which came out this month, wasn’t quite as awe-inspiring as that initial trailer made it seem, and I almost quit it – but I’m really glad I saw it to the end.
