Curse: The Eye of Isis

A fairly decent survival horror of little to no renown. Most camera angles are good, and aside from a few targeting errors, pretty clean of bugs. needs little love to become a great title.

Resident Evil clone made with a lot of care.

Keybindings can be a bit weird. Better to use something like XPadder to bind controller.

I got this because it was only 29p and had 4.1/5 on the Store Page..... but good grief, I dont know what those other people were playing but it couldnt have been this. At best this is a 2 or 3 out of 5. My advice to anyone thinking of buying this is save your money. Its a cross between Alone in the Dark and Tomb Raider, with a bit of Resident Evil. It has no where near the tension and excitement of Alone in the Dark. The puzzle elements are so obvious and tedious that a 5 year old could literally do them (its usually of this type - you need a key to get in a door... you walk around.... find key.... open door. :/ ) Other reviewers talked positively about the story!???!... seriously? Its of the most obvious and tedious sort. There are no surprises, no twists, and the script interactions with NPCs are awful. But the absolutely worst part is the control method is horrible and doesnt work at all for the ever changing camera views (that also dont let you see attackers, pickups, or in one case - an entire end boss cut scene!) Finally, playing on my computer (a powerful triple monitor setup) got a horrible graphic glitch that once in my save file was always present. The character starting wobbling and jerking around, and at times would go invisible, or so big that it would scale out of the scene totally! Made it unplayable so gave up. Final thoughts - go get Alone in the Dark, Tomb Raider or Resident Evil. All are so much better than this.

Level design was somewhat bland and confusing to navigate. The map felt extremely useless because I couldn't see the whole floor I was on or move/change floors. The story was kind of there and a tad bit interesting.
