I played the Xbox Game Pass version. While the game offers a fun experience overall, it’s hard to ignore some of the issues. The AI can feel inconsistent, and there are several minor gameplay glitches or mechanics that can break immersion. Though I can tolerate the subpar performance, the game’s constant crashing is a major problem. Each time you reload, you’re forced to recompile shaders, which can take several minutes depending on your system. It’s clear the game needed more time for optimization and bug fixes, especially to address the game-breaking crashes. My recommendation: wait for a sale and a few patches before diving in.
This game along with SEF forces mod and you're in for a great time. Much better experience than Ready or Not.
I played the PC Game Pass version of the game and wanted to leave my review. As someone who is a fan of the late H.R. Giger, I thought the game artists did a fantastic job of recreating his world/vision. I'm sure he would have been pleased with what he would have seen if he was still alive. The game itself is very short which you can easily complete it within 4 to 5 hours. Before you get a gun have have to use a jackhammer like weapon, the combat is not a great experience especially when you have 2 enemies that use range attacks which makes dodging impossible due to the very narrow corridors. Until you get the guns, as cool as they look, you will find yourself that you won't really need to use them. The checkpoint system is very annoying. I encountered a bug where I got bugged out of a lift and fell through the map. Reloading the save took me back to the glitch checked point. I had to load an older save and went back about 40 minutes worth of gameplay. A big shame that the developers didn't give us a manual save option. Great world design, fantastic audio design and a very subjective story (There's no in-game lore and all down to personal interpterion. If you're looking for a "horror" shooter, this game isn't for you. If you're looking for a "horror" puzzler then I'd give it a shot if you either have game pass or pick it up when it's on sale for a good discount.
