Some good ideas but bad execution
1 star for the diverse, gory, brutal, bizarre and abstract level design and the unique world the game generates. I felt like I was in a fever dream and really enjoyed this part of the game. 1 star for the story and how it unfolds over time. In the first half I was just confused and nothing really made sense, but I liked how the game throws you bread crumbs to follow and keep you interested. - 1 star for the generic weaponry, except maybe the crossbow, and for the many useless upgrade options and for the frequent use of instakill-trial and error-boss encounters. Also, apparently the Microsoft Store version of this game got upgrades that the Gog or Steam version never got..... - 1 for lack of direction in ~10 areas, where the game gave no hint of what to do, so I went on YT. Some sections of level felt really out of place and/or half-baked. Character movement is too sluggish, like playing with a 70 y.o. gramps. Terrible reverse camera chase sequences and too many cutscenes and forced slow walks. 0 stamina means your character stands still for ~10 seconds to catch his breath, WTF? - 1 star for despawning ammo pickups after loading a save filer or dying, grab attacks are sometimes not telegraphed at all and almost all of the main characters are uninteresting clichés. On the normal difficulty the game is quite challenging but almost always fair, atleast in the beginning. As soon as you have mastered the basic gameplay loop and upgraded your stats, the game gets quite easy. One reviewer said: "You will be replaying chapters at least twice anyway, because you need the Gel for upgrades and you need to plan ahead with balancing damage and resources". I never felt the need to do that. If you have decent aim and utilize stealth or environmental kills, you will never need to that, atleast on normal mode. After 75% of the game I didn´t have any stats worth investing into and just upgraded auxiliary stats (ammo capacity or crossbow effects).
Hilft dir das weiter?
