Whenever we see a game being praised after launch on other formats, we tend to cast a slightly jealous eye. That was the case with The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature, as we noticed it popping up on our radar after launch on Steam, critically acclaimed in the process. Now though that same game comes to Xbox and PlayStation, giving console gamers the chance to follow Dr. Frankenstein’s creation from the very beginning.
Available to download and play right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5 – as well as on PC and mobile where it’s been for a while – The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature takes us through the usual fare but via a brand new perspective. You see, this is a game that deals with feelings and emotion, homing in on the creature itself and focusing on how it sees everyday life.
It’s priced at £12.49 from the Xbox Store and will see you the opportunity to travel the world, taking on the role of the creature as it experiences what plays out ahead of it. This isn’t the usual horror that is associated with Frankenstein tales, instead covering matters sensitively throughout.
