Really not a great game. This game has a few things for it...the ambiance is pretty cool and I really dig the visual style.From what I've played it's not very scary though but that's not where my problem stands.First, why are you so small in the game? There's no height parameters and it always feel like I'm 1 meter only above the ground.But if it was only that, I'd give it a pass, but the gunplay is extremely poor and really not satisfying.9 times out of 10, heading for the head with a melee weapon will end up with said weapon getting stuck in the chest of missing entirely.And, worst of all, the game rely a lot on saving ammunition and therefore, having to run from enemies...but your character literaly gets stuck on everything, all the time.But mostly, why are you so small in this game??Roughly played a bit more than an hour, twice, one time on release and one time today (a few months later), thought I'd give it some time and see if I'd change my mind about it, but it just doesn't work for me.I was also hoping that some of the issues I had with the game would've been fixed (the height, the character getting stuck everywhere), but no, the game doesn't seem to have received any support after release...or if it did, that didn't fix anything.
Rough Experience After Alyx and Saints. EDIT: I originally gave this game 3 stars, but after playing it for another 20 minutes and then watching 90 more minutes of a "let's play"from where I left off, I have to give this 1 star. Do not go into this game thinking that you are going to get a horror game. You're goign to get a monster rush of a shooter with a "horror" aesthetic. After playing Alyx and Saints, I know that VR can be so much more than another wave based shooter. Which is why this game dissapoints me so much. I went into this game wanting to love it. There are three major issues that I have with the game. 1. Combat doesn't feel right. It's not very responsive and there is no "OOMPH" to my gunshots or axe swings. The hit detection seems to be hit and miss when it comes to the axe as I was giving some power swings and it still wouldn't connect with the monsters. The pistol isnt difficult to aim, but knowing exactly where the gu nshot is going could be wonky. They also just seem to throw monster after onster after you. Making this more a wave based shooter in which you go along a small pre-defined path, than a horror game where resource management is necessary.2. Pacing is just horrible. You walk along a pre-determined path, pick up some resources, light a fire or lantern for a save point, then walk into a monster closet. I got to a monser closet where enemies kept spawning and I had to grab these voodoo dolls and burn them to get to stop the enemies from spawning. It wasn't difficult, it was just tedious and uninspired. 3. This isn't a horror game. I was expecting to go into a game that would at least give me some spooks and thrills, but that's not what I got. I got a mediocre faux wave shooter with a horror asthetic and very little interaction in terms of what I could do in the world. Maybe you will absolutely love this game, it seems that many people do. Just make sure that you know that you are not getting a AAA experience and you are not getting a horror game.
Amazing game, with insane story, and... Anyone who says this game is anything but amazing would be lying. I finished this game in around 8 hours on normal mode and I dearly wish I could relive every second! Although it is not a true "horror game" it is still very intense, extremely sinister and almost morbid in some parts. Also the game develoupers made the story tie around completely which really impressed me! The comic book style of the game is also truly stunning, and alothough the color sceme mostly stays the same it never gets old... Also To not spoil to much the bosses are just imaculate! If you are looking for an exilently crafted story with horror elements and perfectly comic book combat, I could not recommend this game more! Please just pick it up, I have over 200 games and this is by far my favourite!Pros: creepy characters that never get old, a pulling in, come back for more anytime story, very good dificulty, a good amount of true horror, amazing combat and creepy very cool bosses!Cons: I WISH IT WAS LONGER! It only took me 8-9 hours on normal mode, and 15 on hard. TYhis isnt even a con, just wishing I could play more!!!!
Yoo. Silent Hill Meets Evil Within 2 Meets Outlast Meets Hunt Showdown? drifter pulled it off with this one and I’ve had the most fun with any vr game I’ve ever had to date. If my charity live stream doesnt get this game more sales Imma cry fr fr cause it deserves to be played by all. Least motion sickness I ever experienced in a fast paced horror action game. People need to step it up like y’all.
Great! Some parts could be better, like how you can lose your weapon if you drop it, or confusing boss targeting. Other than that fun and scary. I had some jumps in the 2 hours I played it, and the story leaves holes that us as players can fill in just fine. So in all, was worth the $30. Do recondmend.
