Daymare: 1998

Szczerze jest w tej grze zawartości jaką warto zobaczyć. Kto lubił grać w RE postacią Hunka tak i tutaj odnajdzie się w tej produkcji. Jest co prawda trochę problemów zwłaszcza podczas doczytywania się tekstur z low do high. Gra się nie wiesza nie wywala do pulpitu bez powodu płynnie działa. Fabuła jest taka sobie jak na gry tego kalibru a niektóre zagadki typowe dla klasyka czyli momentami absurdalne. Przeciwnicy w pewnych momentach są trochę jak gąbki na pociski, bronie fajnie brzmią i czuć ciężar podczas strzelania. Postać nasza trochę taka wyprana z uczuć odrobinę. Większość tekstów drętwa jak w jakimś starym serialu z lat 90 lub wczesnych latach dwutysięcznych sterowanie jest w miarę dobre postać szybko reaguje na polecenia. Menu w postaci komputera podręcznego to rewelacyjny pomysł nie fajnym pomysłem jest natomiast fakt ze po każdym przeładowaniu broni wypada z ekwipunku magazynek i zanim załadujemy naboje musimy koniecznie podnieść pusty magazynek co frustruje niesamowicie i łatwo zapomnieć o czymś takim. Grywalność już jest lepsza ale trzeba mieć na uwadze ze gra ma w ikonicznych miejscach nieco durne rozwiązania.

This game is an homage to how survival horror used to be, slower paced with combat that is on a more difficult level. The puzzles are not that tricky, unless you count having to use ancient greek letters then that is trickier. Though a game that makes you use your head and tests your wits, TBH it's a nice pace from actiony shooter games posing as survival horror. Story is well written and feels like it flows generically, it actually has some interest for me and feels like people who could actually write made it. Yes it is basically resident evil with different names and characters, but so what it's actually a challenge especially if you play through first to start on normal like it should be. So as it is so far the story paces itself well and seems solid. Graphics are not that bad, their smooth and clean and actually visually crisp and legible. So honestly I give them some props for doing well with the Unreal Engine. Overall it feels like it's a solid game with appeal to old school survival horror players, if you like your bang bang shooty shooty survival horror this is not for you. Have not tried modern style, but I like it old school. Honestly many of these negative reviews do not appreciate the charm of an old school type game, still make up your own mind and give it a playthrough and actually go in with an open mind. Original ideas are rare, so many games will always recycle some aspects of other games.

Have you played Resident Evil? Oh? You have? Then played this. Not as good, but, hey, I wouldnt say its all that bad either.

Not really feeling the RE remake vibe, though there are some similarities, this game is very linear with little to no back tracking so far, and no storage. Started out hording ammo but it doesn't seem necessary as you end up leaving plenty behind do to inventory limitations. The only bad things I can say about the game so far is that it is very linear and lacks some polish, interacting with items can be finicky and you can't switch ammo types unless you have an empty magazine. If you play with a keyboard and mouse TAB opens the inventory, which isn't listed in the bindings.

I played in 1990s mode normal difficulty since I belive that's the way devs intended most people to play the game. The game plays like RE4 or TEW, movement speed and changing weapons is slow, shooting is precise, and damage is inconsistent, sometimes a zombie needs a bullet to the head to die, sometimes it takes 4, the game really rewards you for taking your time and aiming carefully (except in boss fights), specially because opening you inventory/map/archives doesn't pause the game, this issue is exacerbated by probably the most controversial feature of the game: ammo magazines, this means you can preload up to 2 magazines (per weapon) of ammo to quickly realod in the middle of a fight, and if you run out of ammo (usually in boss fights) you will be screwed, can't blame new players turning down the game because of this as the first 2 guns you get use magazines, but if you stick with it long enough you'll find out shotguns and the magnun revolver don't suffer from this limitation. The most glaring issue with the game is the boss fights as the game does a poor job to communicate your objective, the worst is the second time you face chapter 5's boss, this time is chasing you down a corridor and you are supposed to lure it all the way to the end, stun it with an explosion and backtrack to repeat the process while you wait around for an elevator, this fight is very tricky because the window of opportunity to stun it is small, and if you fail a stun you'll get one shoted, I tried for an hour, always missing a stun at some póint and dying miserably, at some point the boss was stunned and still killed me as I tried to run past it, that kind of bs broke my sanity. Overall, the game is not bad, it runs well, and is remarkably bug free (in the fountain puzzle look at the engravings on the discs, not the subtitles, they don't match) but it could definetively use some improvements, more safe rooms, maybe a slightly larger inventory and a full rework of boss fights
