"Glitch Hero is a great concept and has an interesting enough storyline to keep you engaged. The execution could be better in terms of how the combat feels and plays out. The puzzles are fun and it can actually serve to teach younger players about coding which is amazing if this interests them. Nothing is ever too much of a challenge and the game is suitable for all ages and abilities of player. If you’re looking for a child friendly game because there isn’t huge amounts of them on console, then this one may be worth a punt."

About
Glitch: Dead Loop Horror is a survival puzzle game where you manipulate code to navigate a broken virtual world. You play as a programmer trapped in a corrupted system, using a simplified coding interface to solve environmental puzzles, bypass security protocols, and avoid hostile AI. Each level resets if you fail, forcing you to adjust your code and approach. The horror element creeps in through glitching visuals, unpredictable enemy behavior, and being watched by an unseen force. What makes it stick is the tight integration of coding mechanics with survival tension. Players report the 20-hour campaign feels punishing but fair, with puzzles that reward trial and error. Early access testers on Steam note the Switch port lets them play in short bursts, though the PS5 version shows sharper visuals. No major updates yet, but the June 2025 release date has fans curious how the story will tie codebreaking to the game’s eerie atmosphere.
