Eines der besten Horrorspiele

Der Horror wird hier meist nicht durch übermäßige Gewalt oder billige Jumpscares erzeugt, sondern durch die Gänsehaut, welche die Erkundung der Welt und ihrer übernatürlichen Phänomene erzeugt, sowie die Story. Auch das Kampfsystem ist sehr gut, man kann immer eine Waffe und einen Zauber gleichzeitig einsetzen (erinnert an Bioshock), seinen Charakter kann man durch den Fund von versteckten Upgrades verbessern. Wer sein Köpfchen benutzt, erhält oft bessere Ergebnisse (manche Feinde lassen sich z.B. mit bestimmten Tricks leicht besiegen) - das Spiel belohnt mitdenken.

good horror adventure, awkward FPS

I suppose the day will come when I feel a sense of fond nostalgia for this game, but for now I just feel a bit frustrated. If nothing else, Undying is certainly a unique game -- well told story, effective graphics, atmospheric soundtrack, and well done voice work make this game artistically impressive. Unfortunately, the combat system is one of the most cumbersome arrangements I've come across in quite some time -- no hotkeys to speak of, instead a slow cycling through weapons, spells, and inventory (which, granted, works most of the time once you know what's coming). Hit and miss combat spells (some practically useless, weaponry which looks promising but proves largely ineffective, and gimmicky boss battles requiring either hours of trial-and-error (I would imagine) or a peek at a walkthrough for the 'solution'. (On the plus side, medkits are abundant in this game, so possibly the fiddly battle system is by design.) Undying would have made a wonderful adventure/puzzle game -- yes it's fairly linear, but every level grants enough latitude to find the odd goody here and there. I'm told the game is legitimately scary, (games don't scare me half as much as bad controls), and given the excellent production values, immersion would be complete were it not for the frequent reloads owing to another fiddly battle sequence. I finished the game out of sheer stubbornness, but lacking rose-tinted glasses it's hard to recommend this to any but the curious.

Clive Barker's Unfuning

I really liked the premise and would have been able to stomach the game if it wasn't just plain unfun. Again I really enjoyed the setup, the setting, and the atmosphere but at every turn the gameplay itself was battling these really cool story features and it just became too much a bore. 1st - Enemy melee attacks cause you to turn in a random direction, losing camera control. What the hell? When surrounding the player character from jump scare enemies and constantly resurrecting skeletons why make it even MORE a chore to slog through the combat? 2nd - Unlimited enemy spawns....sometimes. But you never know when! Bug or Feature? Either way it seems these moments are part of the game. These are not true "events" either but can happen when exploring at any given moment it seems. 3rd - Horrible, horrible, terrible menu system. Seriously. Plenty of worthless items, bad spells, and throwaway weapons. 4th - Clunky shooter mechanics. This would have been better as a point and click adventure. Why even bother doing combat if it will so damn poor? The stellar ratings are due to rose colored goggles the GOG community are liable to wear. This game sold incredibly poorly for an obvious reason and should be left to rot in some foreboding Irish Moore.

A nice surprise, didn't expect it.

Never heard of the game itself, but when i saw it on gog discount i thought '' let's give it a try'', and i wasn't disappointed. Really entertaining horror fps with story written by no others that Clive Barker, it mixes horror clichè with some nice surprises and a strangely addictive gameplay, with both a wide variety of guns and magic However, you character is far from invincible, with a shaking camera every time you get hit and some immortal eneis, the game keeps the player on its toes. So, to summarize, enganing horror/ mystery story( almost tipical movie/book plot written in the 90'), with some good gameplay and a feel of tension while walking through the mansion and other places you ll visit throughout the game. So yes, totally worth it ( even if you are not a fan of horror games).

Great Story, OK FPS with Skull Missiles

I played this in 2001 and I just finished it for a second time. This game is all about the story and that's the reason why you should play it if you've never experienced it. The mood that it sets in almost all of the varying locales is great and the backstories of each of the Covenant siblings is entertaining and remains interesting to the end. As a shooter, it's ok. Some weapons are great fun but most are lackluster. You'll find three great ones and the rest range from mediocre to terrible and you'll only use those ones when you're forced to use them. The magic spells, however, are mostly winners and I love how you get to dual-wield the weapons and magic. You'll find your favorites and stick to them. The giggling skull missiles are pure fun. The biggest problem with the game is the last stage, which is hot garbage. Just "Haste" your way through it as much as possible and get to the end.
