This game is fine if you play as the base character. The other knights you play as are clunky and result in a lot of stupid, cheap deaths.
Easily the best build engine game out there. Oozes atmosphere and Caleb is still the best protagonist among the build engine games. But the hit scanners are just too much. Didn't notice any differences between this and the OG version except the mouse look is nice and smooth.
AI is terrible and can see you from any distance. Also, be prepared to wonder where you're getting shot at as there is so much crap obstructing your view at all times. No manual save so you're at the mercy of checkpoints.
This game is boring as hell.
For the good, the atmosphere and soundtrack are fantastic! The puzzles are great. Most of them will make you think for a while but are definitely solvable without looking up a guide. Plus I do appreciate the shortcuts you find in the map. Story is servicable. Though for the bad, camera is constantly in front of you so you usually have to guess where an enemy is. Sometimes enemies get a free hit when you enter a room. The character voice acting is pretty bad. Not as charming as the games its tryng to mimic. Character models themselves don't seem like they fit the setting at all due to low quality textures and materials plus the animations and acting could use some work. Also there isn't a lot of enemy variety and the AI isn't very good. Combat is sluggish and because of tank controls, you will find yourself taking more hits than you'd like. Other than all that, its a fun game and worth a play through if you like classic style survival horror!
If you love stealth with punishing but fair combat and lots of verticality, you will definitely love this game. The art style is just ok to me and the story is fine. But the tight controls, fun powers, satisfying kill moves, lots of ways to get to your objective with lots of places to hide, more than make up for it. If you're experienced in games like this, I recommend playing on hard difficulty.
Art direction and animations are great! The gameplay is terrible though. The platforming and movement is very slow and sometimes non-responsive, resulting in many deaths. The enemies are very tanky while some are outright cheap and not fun to deal with (The teleporting laser ghosts come to mind). Also, this game doesn't respect your time at all. If you get lost, there isn't much of a fast travel system and since your character is slow, you will waste a lot of time slowly moving from one place to the next, trying to figure out where to go. This is more of a slog than a videogame.
This game is terrible. Voices are completely out of sync, no controller support and it doesn't even teach you what you're suppose to do. Since there is no way to see what the controls are, good luck figuring it all out! I've tried closing the game and reopening it to change the refresh rate and resolution but I was greeted with empty dropdown boxes so I couldn't even change my settings anymore. Unless you've played this before and/ or know what to do and how the game works, I highly recommend you skip this one.
Not a terrible game. Not great either. There are some good ideas and the platforming is pretty good for the most part. But there are parts that are outright frustrating such as a couple of areas where you want to study the room but you end up getting sniped from something which knocks you into a death pit. This game also looves to pad its time by making you back track A LOT. Worth a playthrough if you like pixel based sidescrollers but not worth replaying.
