  While the core of Maid of Sker is a decent throwback to games like Resident Evil and Amnesia: The Dark Descent which hits all the usual notes, if you’re playing on a lower-end device you’ll find that performance can be an issue. Worth it if you want a hit of that survival-horror thrill in the palm of your hand, but won’t win over most other players.

  Maid of Sker is a gorgeously told story interwoven with intriguing Welsh folklore, and a solid entry into the stealth-horror genre. Although it doesn't bring anything particularly new to the table as far as gameplay goes, it's been lovingly ported to mobile by the original developer, Wales Interactive, and the narrative is deliciously creepy, enough for its quiet ambience to have you constantly on the edge of your seat.

  It's this versatility that makes the PS5 version of Maid of Sker worthwhile. Players who enjoyed the core game, warts and all, can turn to challenges of increasing difficulty, while others who prefer atmosphere can go through a less arduous version of its story.

  Maid of Sker is certainly a better game now than it was a year ago, no matter what format you play it on. It’s still doesn’t quite achieve its potential though, and while there are some clear improvements on PS5, there are unfortunately more disappointments. While it’s nice to finally be able to play the game with a silky smooth frame rate and responsive controls on console, it’s a shame that to achieve that you have to opt for visuals that don’t really impress.

  Maid of Sker is an adaptation of influential Welsh folklore and brings its own voice to the survival horror genre. That is once it gets over stage fright.

  Maid of Sker has high-quality graphics that really pop out. The story makes you want to continue, but the gameplay is rather easy and uninventive. The game lacks horror as well as depth for the core gameplay mechanics. This doesn’t make the game bad, it just makes it a different genre and a bit boring. This game is something where you can enjoy a thriller story and look at the beautiful surroundings while putting the gameplay on the backseat.
