Not... Even... Close...
What an absolute fumble this game is. It has so many good things, like the sleuth work mechanic, the strange visions, the city itself looks interesting, a bit of crafting mechanic. This could have been a magnificent Lovecraftian detective game, but all it managed to be is a run around simulator. Here is the nice long list: - The controls are horrible. - The enemies are laughable. - No sneaking. - No direct button to crafting menu. - Detective work altough interesting, it is shallow and there is no thinking involved from the players side. - NPCs, pop in and out of view on the street. - Crafting is dumb. Put spring and alcohol together to get medkits? - Game time is used mostly to run around in the city, back and forth between points of interests. - Lore breaking. Innsmouth residents, all of them were a member of EOD. It's in their nature as they are the children of Dagon. They are not individuals in any sence, especially after transformation. - There is no good loot to look for, just a handful of skins. Fast travel is horrible as well. You can't just travel to a phone booth (travel point).. NO! You have to go to a both first to be able to travel to another booth. - Side missions are empty shells of fetch quests with a bit of story spun around it. All in all, this game just falls between a multitude of chairs. Shooting, crafting, detective puzzles, open world. It missed all of these. I would've wanted to go through the story, but I just gave up, when the whole game revealed itself as a walking simulator, where you have to go back and thorth points of interests. Like going to a place, finding a clue, then going to the librabry to search for info, then going to another place, finding clue, then going to the police station to find info, then back to another place... Just steer clear of this one. What an absolute joke!
