Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut

(I have this game through Steam, not GOG if that makes any difference) This game is just Silent Hill 2 mixed with Twin Peaks. I don't mean that in the sense that the tone feels like a mix between the two, I mean that it's almost exactly Silent Hill 2's storyline, but with scenes from Twin Peaks thrown in. It's even got it's own Red Room with a little dancing man, but the room is blue instead. An OK story can still be saved by good gameplay, but I felt like the gameplay was a bit of a slog. Sneaking doesn't feel tense on a 2D plane, and fighting enemies feels like a chore. Most enemies are your height, so you just point yourself in one of two directions and slowly fire straight ahead. As long as you don't fight too many monsters at once, you'll be fine. The game isn't really bad, it's just not very interesting or memorable. I'd recommend playing Silent Hill 2 or watching Twin Peaks instead of playing this rehash.

Great thriller with an amazing atmosphere and soundtrack. One of the best games I've ever played.

I read a lot of good reviews and a few bad ones on GOG. I played an online demo for a few minutes and it seemed interesting but because of how bad some reviews were, I decided to wait untill it went on sale before I bought it. When I bought the game, it went on sale for a little under $4. I should have waited untill it went on sale for under $2. This game has been compared to Silent Hill 2 and 3 multiple times. It's one of the reasons I wanted it. From what I can tell, it's because the sounds, map design, level design, and some items in the game are taken directly from the Silent HIll series. The game (to me) simply lacks a story that can get me interested. From what I can tell, I haven't gotten far into the game. I'm still in the Appartments, it's the starting point after the tutorial. I've made my way around the area but keep getting killed in certain parts. When I get killed, I'm not frustrated or irritated, I'm bored. A game is supposed to be challanging but it should be good enough to motivate me so I will want to find ways around or through the annoying (not scary) monsters. I should want to make it further to learn more of the story, but I just don't. The controls take a bit of getting used to but they're not terrible. It was a cool idea that I wanted to be fun but for me it isn't. If you are looking for a Silent Hill game to play, replay the first few. That's the only way to get what you really want. I gave this game 2 stars because I couldn't give it 1 1/2.

Fuck Silent Hill, this is the shit. Now, I don't have it on GoG but I have it on steam and can say this is probably the best game of my library without a doubt. Buy it. Very creepy, very emotional, 5/5
