A bad 2006 dud released in 2013
I know a good story when I see one, and this game doesn't look like one. The intro sequence looks like it was made in the late 90s when facial animation was just being figured out. I generally don't care about graphics, but those look VERY dated for 2013. 30 minutes into the game, I couldn't find any story that I'd cared about. Or any magnificently written characters. Or adequate voice acting. Or anything at all, to be fair, apart from zombies, samey locations filled with generators and fences and annoying remarks the PC makes all the time to someone named Zach. And as a cherry on the top you get the most clunky and unintuitive controls ever (which you cannot even remap in-game). I understand that this was supposed to be a PS2 release, but 1) even in 2006 there were much better games available on both PC and PS2; 2) if you try to use a controller, good luck having fun with X/Y axes swapped together; 3) there is an abysmal amount of pauses and cutscenes: whenever you pick up an item, open a door, activate something etc.; 4) I am used to old games that are released in the 90s to not have an in-game tutorial, but this is released in 2013.. 5) you need to pixel-hunt for a good 10 seconds in order to try to interact with just about anything; 6) aiming is godawful and always autosnaps to your current target's centre, yet you can occasionally land a headshot. The exact technique escapes me, however; .. N) the developers had 7 years to make the game better, and THIS is the result? Maybe this game does have a cult following, and maybe it's a masterpiece for some, but for someone who played a lot of oldschool point'n'click adventures and detective stories, this is an awful excuse of a game.
