Daymare: 1998
Description
DAYMARE: 1998 is a third-person survival horror with hardcore survival mechanics and hard to kill enemies. It requires a strategical approach to combat and puzzles and offers a multi-character point of view on the story, revealing a deep and obscure lore.
The scene is set with a secret research facility, a deadly chemical weapon and a special security team to investigate this incident with the potential to become much more than just a security breach. Follow the steps of an elite soldier, a helicopter pilot and a forest ranger, as they play out their roles in an event that transforms one peaceful small town into a deadly zone and its citizens into bloodthirsty monsters. Take the creatures down first, before looking for any clues and evidence to bring more sense to the mess. Keep track of your itinerary, as resources are scarce in a situation like this! Anything can happen when your daymares become real…
Fans of the iconic cinematographic brands and classical gloomy survival horror games of the '90s will be thrilled, seeing how DAYMARE: 1998 recreates the atmosphere of the most beloved works from the end of the millennium and places a typical yet fresh story in the middle of it. The plot unfolds through the eyes of various characters, putting players in the shoes of different personalities that will guide them through their theories and doubts about the situation. Backtracking, managing ammo, collecting lore items, solving environmental puzzles and the overall difficulty will help players jump a couple decades back and get chilled to the bone in their first real daymare.

We have Resident Evil 2 Remake at home
I'm sorry but I found almost nothing redeemable about this game. I know it started off as a fan remake of RE2. I know it's from a small indie team. And I'd really like to talk positively about it since the team that made it is Italian like me, but I find it impossible to defend this game. Aesthetic: came out in 2019 but technically looks worse than games from 2009 with: ugly character models that look extremely fake, low detail textures and low quality visual effects. It has zero art direction, looks like an asset flip or a prototype. Gameplay: they write in the description of the game that it "recreates the mood of iconic titles from the '90s", but how is that? The game gives you tons of ammunition. There is zero tension built throughout the game. Exploration is minimal as most of the game is linear. There are a few puzzles that are either extremely simple, or confusing because they are explained badly. The only redeeming factor in the whole game is that the shooting is passable. It does its job. Too bad they had to include the annoying magazine mechanic (if you've really got to play this game, just play it in modern mode) and the real-time inventory menu that takes a whole 2 seconds every time you open it, ugh... Music: the game is silent most of the time, and for the rest the music is generic. Plot, lore, characters, dubbing: everything is really low-budget and low quality. It feels like the game was written by a teenager, with dudebro military stuff, lots of swearing and lots of pop culture references hidden in plain sight. The plot doesn't make much sense. They bore you to death with overly verbose logs that don't build much of a lore. Character interactions and dialogues are laughable at best. One of the characters has "horror visions" that look like they were inspired by those in the F.E.A.R. games, but I think they didn't understand what made the visions in those games really impactful. I usually like to distinguish between the quality of a game and its price, but I think that asking 30€ for this "game" is insane.

Drive-through resident evil like game.
It's a interesting experiment for a survival horror game, the atmosphere is dark and aprosive there are sounds like wood cracking of food steps in the background adding more paranoia for enemys around the corner, there are many bodys drop here and there so you never now who is gonna step up to attack you, for a game that came from a small study is polish enough and for the survival horror gender it's a nice addition.
