THIS is a true classic

If you're tired of every new FPS game being a quasi-realistic military shooter with the soul of the single player stripped out for the sake of forgettable multiplayer, this is the game for you. No regenerating health, no on-rails segments, no faceless soldiers opening invincible doors for you. This game plays in a truly unique way, despite the aged graphics and sound effects. You play as a WW1 veteran, called out to an island to help a friend. With your knowledge of the occult and your skill with firearms, you use both magic and technology to battle supernatural and human foes. This game has what many today lack: variety. You'll travel through dimensions, through time, outside across grassy plains, and deep into the depths of booby-trapped caves. Enemies range from the undead, werewolves, aliens, witches, and more that I will not spoil. It's an unforgettable experience to me. It's scary, fun, and due to minor RPG elements fairly replayable. If you can look past the dated graphics (which I'll assume you can: you're on Good Old Games after all!) you'll find a gem in this game.

Jump scares - that work

This game has got to be one of my all-time favorite games. I'm not much for horror movies but love horror-themed video games. This game is responsible for this. Within the first few minutes of the game, there is a jump scare that, for someone who doesn't startle easily, scared the hell out of me. It was great! I cannot give an honest estimate of how many times I've played since release, but each time, it's been years apart and it's still a blast to play. There's quite a lot going on in this game, from the intro to the end, there are things in plain sight as well as hidden. When you first take control of your character, simply turning around and walking to the gate reveals stuff you wouldn't expect. This game is responsible for me becoming a "look everywhere for everything" type player and for good reason. It's a fantastic game that, if any game truly deserves a remaster, this would be it. The story, gameplay mechanics, and voice acting are top shelf and would definitely fill a gap in horror gaming, especially with everything today being zombie-based.

More than scary.

This title has a lot of unique elements in standard FPS play through. And thus they made difference. During game play, you need to choose weapon and spell to confront your enemy. Each of them has pros & cons and your choice would make battles easier sometimes. It may sound difficult. Actuary I felt that way before I finally installed this game. However, thanks to the well structured game play, these uniqueness are not troublesome. On the contrary, making strategies to defeat unholy monsters has different kind of fun comparing to other FPS games. And script is really working well especially when they tries to scare you. There are hundreds of gimmicks to freeze your blood. Those who love horror games definitely like them. It's one of the best horror FPS in the market. Speaking of the game from Clive Berker, I bloody love "Jericho", but to be honest I've felt "Undying" is much better than that. What a surprise! Horror fans and FPS fans should get this gem!!

A surprising gem of a game!

When this first came out I was a bit put off my the Clive Barker name attached to it, mainly because I've never liked his horror writing style (perhaps I was too spoilt on HP Lovecraft, I dunno). But others recommended it to me regardless of that and so I purchased it not expecting much from it. I'm glad I did buy it, because it's a superb game to play. I may not like Clive Barker's novels but, in my opinion, he does make a much better games writer. It captures a good sense of atmosphere, and that's something few games then (and now) can do. It's a game which shows that EA was once a publisher of fine content and knew what gamers wanted (unlike now). So grab a download of this game from GoG, you shouldn't be disappointed, because they seem to have it on at a good price as well. I may even download a copy of it myself at some point, even though I still own my retail verson of it :)

Phenomenal

Despite its age, Undying stands as one of the greatest horror stories told in a game to date. Dated combat aside, the amazing level design, characters, and eerie ambience allow this game to hold its own even in ages past its own technological prime. Make sure you read the family album before playing. The terror is in the tale. Masterpiece.
