The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - Retrospective Review
3Despite clunky gameplay by modern standards, there has been something incredibly satisfying about playing The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and Assault on Dark Athena in 2023. A big part of that could simply be the ability to play through two complete and cohesive games in less than the time it takes to complete any recent AAA blockbuster, but I also think they’re legitimately good games that hold up well enough – especially for those that enjoy aggressive stealth, scrappy firefights, and that striking high-contrast, stencil-shadow look briefly popularised by DOOM 3.

I played an Xbox 360 copy of Escape from Butcher Bay (as part of The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena release) on original hardware as it was never made backward compatible. You can still find second-hand copies for the Xbox 360 or PS3, or pick it up on the Xbox 360 Storefront until its closure in mid-2024. On PC, the game was removed from storefronts at some point but GOG offline installers are still available in the wild. I also want to thank World of Longplays for the footage as I'm not set up to capture on my older consoles.
