Interesting Story, Scatterbrained Game

I really wanted to love Undying but finishing it honestly became a chore. The set up is pretty interesting, mixing themes of Poe and Lovecraft with a pretty spooky Mansion setting. The gunplay starts off pretty limited but does start to open up a bit at least - using weapons and casting spells gave me BioShock vibes. However, the magic spells aren't too crazy and nothing besides the shotgun felt that great to me. The gunplay just never gelled, Patrick isn't your average mad-hopping FPS maniac and moves pretty slowly. So many flying type enemies are thrown in too, they're definitely overkill. The cool story also just goes off the rails though and hours in I didn't even know what the hell was going on anymore. The progression is also hindered by some awkward puzzle designs here and there. Undying is still worth giving a shot since it's goes for dirt cheap now, but beware it just might not be that fun as expected. 10x better than Jericho at least.

Underrated horror FPS with powers

Undying is a horror shooter made by Clive Barker, a director and visual artist best known for the Hellraiser movies. In this title, you play as Patrick Galloway, a paranormal investigator coming to help Jeremiah Covenant, his friend from the war, after all his siblings died and paranormal things happen. You will fight otherworldly creatures both in and around the mansion, as well as alternate dimensions. Gameplay is similar to BioShock, you have weapons and supernatural powers, and have wheels from where you can switch them. But sadly, time doesn't slow down during the switching process so it might be a bit chaotic trying to switch during fights. The enemies are surprisingly quite varied, following the theme of the chapter of the sibling you're investigating. Boss fights are pretty cool, too. If you're a fan of horror shooters, Undying is definitely a title you shouldn't miss. I haven't delved deep into Clive Barker's creations so I probably had no idea this title existed, but now that I do, you can be sure I'll enjoy more of them.

3.5 stars, above average shooter

Not a bad game really, but extremely frustrating early on. Your character is super fragile and it doesn't take anything for the enemies to squash you like a bug. Once you get the shield spell, the difficulty is night and day different, but persevering to that point is what is trying. The music score is pretty good when it's there, but more often than not you're playing in silence which isn't great either. I tried using the Undying Renewal mod, but it crashed on me fairly early in the game, so I stuck with the provided NGlide wrapper instead which was quite stable. Not a bad game really, but not exactly good either. Fairly average.

A True Classic Even Today

I wanted to play this game upon release but didn't have the money. Playing it for the first time all these years later I'm not only thankful I finally did but am amazed at the level of immersion and lore a game from this time managed to weave together. Smooth mechanics, fair balacing of resources, puzzle complexity, and rewards for exploration are just a few of the design elements that make this game sing. I can only hope NIghtdive sees the potential here and breaths new life into another true classic. 10/10 would recommend!
