Sir, You Are Being Hunted

An enjoyable title for what is is. The stealth gameplay is good and sufficiently challenging. I'm fine with the graphics and art design. Stylistic and it reminds me of old school games. The random level generator provides fresh levels, but the gameplay can become repetitive over time. Another plus the story is sufficiently mysterious and interesting. I hope to see more games like this, but the full price is a bit high.

This is essentially a survival steath game and although it was released today there is still a lot more to come. I have been with this game since mid Alpha the developers are constantly on the forum in contact with the players and much of the game has been player driven. Basically you have to find and collect parts of a machine without being killed or starving whilst you are being hunted by various robotic adversaries. I have a very detailed review but limitations on size here prevent me posting it I will do so as soon as there is a community slot open for SYABH all I can say is it won't suit some but, for myself it is 70 hours and still playing. highly recommended

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is an overall good survival game that is a bit rough around the edges. You are supposed to try and accomplish your task stealthily though nothing is stopping you from taking a "run and gun" approach. I found a mix of these approaches most enjoyable. The game does give you a good selection of items to use as distractions if you choose the stealth approach but you must take care in using them properly. The stealth mechanics work pretty well but they can sometimes feel a bit tedious. If you choose to take on the robots in combat it can be hard because you are fairly evenly matched and often outnumbered. It is also tricky because guns and ammo are a bit scarce. It took me about 6 hours to finish my first game and I feel it does have a good bit of replayability. I like how the difficulty slowly ramps up during the game. One thing I don't like is the save mechanic. You can only save at boats or the stone on the center island. I also found the performance to be quite poor (sometimes hitting 10FPS). On the plus side, it's a fairly unique game with a good concept. Though the graphics aren't great, I thought the atmosphere was very good. The sound effects are also quite nice. If you like stealth games this one is definitely worth a try. It can be difficult at first but I found it worth taking the time to learn. Also, I highly recommend turning on the "display enemy markers" in the options, as it makes keeping track of the robots much easier.

Very intense and fun... however a little too expensive

Generally, there are two types of players. One is scared of losing/dying and gets really tense in this game because there's a lot of unknowns and a constant aura of "they're out to get me." The other doesn't care about the character and just shrugs at death and failure. The latter will be very bored of this game because you can 'brute-force' a victory by reading a bunch of wikis, save-scumming by suicide-scouting and then loading a save, etc. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It really depends on the type of person you are. Some will enjoy this game, some should simply not play it and look for something more 'hardcore survival' because this is not The Forest or Rust. The good: - Specific sense of humour. - Pleasant aesthetic. - Nice voice acting. - No hand-holding, players need to figure out the game. - Inventory management (storing stuff in the game world). - High customisability; starting items, map types, mob frequency, fov slider. - Progressively gets harder the closer you are to completion. The bad: - Some people won't like to start over (sometimes you just run yourself into a corner). - Not very challenging to survive if you save-scum. - Not very challenging to win if you read about all the possible game-winning strategies online. - Not very scary if you don't care about dying a lot and just run around everywhere.
