Canine PS5 Review 7/10 “All Charm and Some Bite” 🐺 @PuKoStudio #IndieGame #GameDev

I’m going to start my review of this horror game by not talking about gore, or darkness, or being scared… but about charm. Now, when talking about things that one finds important in a game, charm isn’t usually at the forefront - but I find that it can go a long way, and I found both Canine and its overall message really charming, there is a real sincerity to it, the love for both horror and dogs shines through and although without it Canine would still be enjoyable, the heart makes it much more special.

You play as a boy who has lost his dog, Tomy, I want to at this point inform both spell check and my editor - it is just Tomy with one ‘m’ (noted, maybe they named him after a much-loved Japanese toy company? – ed). You find out he has been taken by a company called Umbral. It is not really a spoiler to say this, as they are a company in a video game which means they are as evil as… well companies in real life, I suppose - so very quickly you realise that you need to get your dog and leave. In most horror games you have a weapon to defend yourself, such as a handgun or perhaps shotgun, heck - in Resident Evil you even fire a rocket launcher!

First "Play Acclaim Showcase" to Take Place Tomorrow - September 10 🔥

Tune in tomorrow for a look at the revived publisher’s exciting new games coming in 2026

 

Tomorrow, Acclaim is back. Not as a reboot, but a rebirth for the iconic publisher that dominated players’ living rooms for more than two decades.

 

Acclaim's first “Play Acclaim” showcase will take place on the official Acclaim YouTube channel on September 10th at 2:30PM ET/11:30AM PT.

 

A teaser trailer is at: Watch The #PlayAcclaim Transmission Received: A New Era Is Coming Teaser Here

 

The teaser offers a glimpse of Acclaim’s upcoming lineup of titles while celebrating the brand’s unforgettable legacy. Blink and you might miss it. Hidden in the static, behind the glow of CRT screens, are the titles that will lay the foundation for this exciting new chapter for Acclaim.

 

This isn’t nostalgia for its own sake. It’s something else: a kind of retrofuturenostalgia, paying homage to and embracing the brand’s unmistakable DNA and history while charting a bold new course into the future.

 

“We’re here to keep the fire going,” said Alex Josef, CEO of Acclaim. “We’re carrying that same spark forward, the kind that made Acclaim stand out in the first place, but we’re shaping it into something new, something alive, something built for today. We're here to get the party started as masters of new independent games, and we hope everyone joins us to experience the bold, innovative spirit of Acclaim’s next chapter.”
