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.

Crap game. Stay away!
Character movement feels really sluggish and unresponsive. Do not like controlling the char, which ruins the base enjoyment off the game. Get some big FPS drops often. Otherwise it runs fine. Die all the time because off no ammo, and melee attack is very difficult to pull off before enemies eat you. Frustrating game.

Pretty okay, low-budget Resident Evil
Daymare: 1998 is a third-person survival horror shooter created by a team who were developing a fanmade RE2 Remake, but stopped and created their own IP. As such, the game takes a lot of inspirations from it, especially RE2 and 3, like the overall gameplay which combines shooter, item management, as well as puzzles, set in the backdrop of a small American city in the 90s ravaged by a zombie virus. We play as 3 characters, Liev, a soldier following orders, Sam, a civilian plagued with hallucinations, and Raven, a pilot desperate to escape. If you look at older reviews, many of them said that this game is janky and difficult. But the devs added a Modern Take mode, which really simplifies things such as quick, normal ammo reload and skip puzzles. I played Modern Take - Easy and it was a pretty fun experience, except the chase scene in the end. The puzzles, however, can be annoying as in involves trial-and-error sometimes, and some other times requires getting used to something you probably don't, such as Greek alphabet and Morse code. One thing I like about this game is the level design. Surprisingly, they are quite well-made, with many new assets in each. I especially really like the city levels, feels similar to RE3R while adding their own touch. There are plenty of references to 90s culture, be it movies, games, and even celebrities. It would be better if the devs made the levels brighter, I have my flashlight on almost all the time. There's also an extra game mode called HADES: Dead End, where you play as Liev again, doing 4 different missions in 4 areas from the main game. It's quite hard, enemies seem to do more damage and the reload is the messy classic mode. This mode doesn't offer any new story or achievements though, so you can just skip it. I think Daymare: 1998 is worth a try if you like horror zombie shooters. It's not the same quality as Resident Evil or Evil Within, but it might kinda scratch that itch. It's pretty fun if you don't expect much.

It was ok
I got this game with a GOG giveaway. Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid money for it. Still, it was kind of fun. It's more than obvious that the developers were Resident Evil fans, and while the popular title itself is not bad, I personally think it's overrated. *Cue angry fanboy noise* There are far too many people who create these indy titles that aren't even original because they're just like another, better game. That's basically what this is. So, the game is definitely good-looking and has a good atmosphere. Each character has different weapons that can have different ammo types. You can combine items to create better ones. None of this is particularly new to anyone. There are two different reloads; fast and slow. Not a bad idea, especially when it comes to combat vs downtime. However, you have to manually reload all magazines via inventory menu, which seemed pretty silly to me. It is not possible to combine ammo types in one magazine. Also, a quick reload will drop the old magazine on the ground, where it will stay until it is picked up again. There's a gameplay version that removes this feature, as well as others. The story was mediocre. Big pharma is the villain and all characters are blithering idiots with horrifically bad voice acting and subtitle translation. I'd say that's the worst of it. In the end, if you like Resident Evil and are interested in a low-budget zombie survival horror game, give this a try.
