This game is just stupid
And when I said stupid, I refer to all part of it. This is standard survival horror with a over-the-top gory presentation. Graphics is not bad but the color palette is bloody tiring and repetitive. The inventory is stupidly limited at the beginning but finding some disgusting goo in ambiguous jars, you can increase (?) you inventory limits, melee and ranged damage. I know. I know. Is just stupid. 1. The story is completely non-sense. From the beginning, with the city that reminds me of inception. But worse. 2. All of a sudden you find yourself in a 1800 village a few km outside the shifting city 3. The monsters are non-sense even inside the game. 4. The combat is just awfully boring. With your main character borrowing his only attack move directly from a Bud Spencer movie. 5. Difficulty wise is a mixed bag. You can easily beat most enemies with melee but all of a sudden a monster you can't beat appears and you will die a few times trying to figure out how to escape. And the game is a sequence of useless, boring, inconclusive scenes where the only thing that makes me drag on is that I would like try the second game (as everyone says is better). The story is narrated in a poorly fashion. Disjointed and poorly amalgamated in what you actually do in the game. You find yourself immersed in bowels interiors all of a sudden and you don't know why. Why I got teleported from one place to the other. How it relates to story. Why I can kill a monster by shooting in the head, when the head is passed trough by a 10cm wide stick already? Is that supposed to be scary? You find bits of diary here and there with such cliche experts (E.g. "I hear screams in the night. I need to remain hidden") that are such a staple of the genre that just scream cheap. Then there is this hospital where you can access trough the mirrors that just... exist without a trace of why. Who is the nurse? Why helps you? Whatever.
Is this helpful to you?
