Great story and visuals
I at first did not know about this game . It totally flew under the radar for me. But it surpised me. The graphics have aged well, so it still looks good. The atmosphere of the game fits well, feels like a horror movie that where you control the main character. Combat is pretty good, but can sometimes get repetative . But the story is what kept me going. First off, I was just browsing and found this game last year, prior to the start of the Covid 19 pandemic. I saw that there was a sale on GOG and saw this game. I watched some video reviews and thought why not. The game ran pretty well for my old Fx8370. Its very well optimized and I had no issues running it or crashing. So any modern system can run this. Gameplay is well done. You are presented with episodes, in a similar fashion to a show. And It made playing it smooth, as I cant spend more than an hour straight at a computer screen. The combat is engaging enough, having thrid person shooter elements mixed with puzzles and some exploration. Combat can be satisfying, but it can also be a huge chore. Enemies can sometimes spawn in the worse locations and overwhelm your character. Quick reflexes and planning for a defence is a must. You must always expect to get ambushed. It keeps you on your toes, but I felt it was wayy over done in some parts of the game. There are pages of journals scattered throughout the levels that give backround info on characters and the environment. Optional, but it gives you perspective about the universe. Characters are good. You get a good sense of people the MC encounters. Then you also have a lot of monolouges. The voice acting was also well done. The mood of the game is dark, but not so dark that its depressing. More of a horror, and some other reviews compare it to a Steven King book or film. Most of the game takes place at night, with heavy emphisis on Light vs Dark, Sanity vs Insanity. The DLC's were ok..nothing to brag about. Overall 8.5/10.
