Boring treasure hunt
Kholat has you wandering around a largely monotone level, hunting for locations listed on your map. None of the locations are very interesting, and none convey a story. You get snippets of a story from pieces of paper strewn throughout the level, which you can either stumble across, or stumble across co-ordinates scribbled on rocks, which lead to them. There are also camps that serve as both save points and fast travel points, saving you the aggravation of walking the entire map. There's also an attempt at horror by introducing a monster that can chase you down and kill you, but you only encounter it a few times, and being hard to avoid, most of the time it's an insta-death, making the experience less horrifying and more annoying. There is the story to keep you going, but it isn't very good, and you don't need to uncover all of it to finish the game. Which is a shame, since the game is so awkward, it requires a distraction to make it bearable. In the first level you're tasked with reaching the least interesting part of the level in order to advance, and it leads you to a level that's almost completely white, where you stumble around looking for any points of reference. Not being able to interact with the environment and not knowing if I missed some controls, I looked up a walkthrough just to get past the first level. Having reached the second and wandering around it aimlessly for several minutes, I used that walkthrough again, and decided to restart the level. Only then did I advance to the actual game. The ending is awkward as well, since you need to reach a previously reached location to trigger it. Add to that the performance issues, which seem to spring out of nowhere, and Kholat is a fairly frustrating experience. The game seemed to run smoothly most of the time, but on occasion I would experience slowdowns, freezes and several crashes, almost causing me to rage-quit, since I had to redo large sections due to the game only saving at checkpoints. Zero stars.
