The undeniably-aged gameplay keeps The Last of Us Part I Remaster from being among the best around, but there are elements of pacing, immersion, and narrative which are perhaps without peer, and that makes this title a worthwhile visit for any fan of post-apocalyptic survival horror.

Sagebrush opens with headlights crossing a desert. There’s a brief monologue wherein a woman recounts meeting someone named Amy, who promised inner peace through the teachings of a man named James. Not the disciple, but an actual flesh-and-blood figure who had a church out in the wilderness. Shortly thereafter, the car pulls up outside of the Black Sage Ranch, an abandoned compound somewhere in the American Southwest where the gates are chained and the windows are dark.

‘All in all, FAITH: The Unholy Trinity is an excellent indie horror game that hits far more often than it misses. It has a high skill cap and carries the frustrating elements of 1980s gaming, but those in no way should dissuade the intrepid gamer who typically finds they are more than a match for the asks of modern games. Despite my issues, Airdorf Games are still going to make my automatic buy list, as the vibrant creativity and excellent storytelling showcased in FAITH eclipses all of its lesser elements.’
