Distrust

The CO-OP is pretty nice because you have to communicate with the other person to get stuff done quickly. The stages get harder and harder as you are progressing. And we both enjoyed it so that's nice. I think it's worth it when the game is discounated. I have to say that game is a bit clunky - particularly when you are in the inventory and try to drop stuff or eat. Also, I still have not figured out a way to separate items. And several times we've run into bugs. Despite all this, the game is not too bad!

I have to admit that I'm new to this kind of games. Since it was cheap on sale I wanted to give it a shot. Of course my decision was influenced by me playing the old The Thing PC game from the early 2000's. But I was well aware that this is clearly settled in the tactical genre, with a rogue like twist. But overall there was such a lack of direction that it left me cold (no pun intended). The objectives are vague, not really engaging either. The characters have slightly different attributes but I wished one of them had some kind of special ability, like one is pretty good in cooking, one is a very good mechanic and needs less resources to repair devices and so on... It is also lacking in creating an eerie atmosphere, be it with music/sound design, settings or with the monsters. Overall I expected more interactive elements like one character can block the door while the other searches for loot, or the possibility to get out of a window. Since it's a rouge game there isn't a compelling story that sucks you in either. Like I said, I'm kinda new to this micro managing games and this one didn't really inspire me to delve deeper into the genre.
