I own the steam version and I gotta say. This game is great. I never got a chance to play these kind games all the through, but this could be one of the many starting points where I tried out more modern survival horror games that was availalbe. There are a lot of them out there, and this one is a gem with its Tech Noir setting with an unspeakable evil set afoot with multiple endings to make you keep coming back to find out what in the hell was going on in the restricted zones you dared tread to find answers. The controls are resonsive, the enemies and atmosphere are both creepy and in abundant supply. Even managed to make me scream out loud a few times because of how scary it all was. Overall it got me wanting to know more by playing it multiple times the moment I got an ending that made me wonder what the hell was going on. The weapons you get in the game are standard as with any survival horror. Use them to survive, and sometimes seem to be the be all end all solutions when you are backed into a corner when you wish to solve a puzzle that in some cases will not be the same in every playthrough. Taking notes is reccomended. I reccomend it to those that want to experience the silent hill-like experience when it seems like there isn't enough of them with how fast one can go through a game like this. The only thing I wish it had was more content after experiencing the first time. Every other playthrough of the game can seem like a speedrun when you memories that general areas you go through to get to the end aside from a few puzzles that prevent you from speedrunning so quickly. 10/10 wish there was more Hollow Bodies. Get it when you can or don't know what to do with your money.
You get to hit people with a big hammer. Music is awesome for the setting, and the setting it as metal and based as it could get as you head into some old city to show you are that guy. There is story and lore if people are interested in, but you can focus on teh combat in general which hasn't let me down or feel unfair as I play through it on the intended difficulty. Highly recoomended if you want to take an oath to abstain from guns for a bit and hit thing up close in first person. 10/10 casual badassary
I play it the first time and beat it through one of the two campaign and had a blast had I not tried to blitz through it through my first playthrough before going to sleep. It is a pretty game. It is an amazingly pretty game and the other characters you interact with are impressive when you want to look into detail for what it is. The game can feel like a GPU demo but I can assure you the combat at first can feel a bad for the first few enemy encounters. The game would have looked amazing but put it on the lowest settings so I can prevent fps drops with my current set up. The puzzles are decent when you have patients to do them, but kinda needed to get some help when it involves the saves in the game. The first one felt like it was bs to find on your own, but the ones after that not that bad. Storywise, I was certainly thrown multiple times into redherrings for what is actually going on when I thought I peaced everything out. I reccomend it when it is on sale or eager to play it, and easy to 100% complete for acheivement hunters.
So far I've had a good time when I played this game when the dark souls fever game to me at a me in a fever pitch. It was amazing how the game is responsive when you wish to swing and the punishment/reward system when you roll, over extend, observe your enemy's attack pattern before you punish it works well for what the devs set out to do. The game artstyle works well and will be differnet from zone to zone. Deserts, Mountain ranges, Ruins of ancient civilisations and [insert standard super SUPER ancient city]. Tis great to take a few good screenshots of the zones. Enemies are varied enough, and not BS to deal with once you figured out their patterns. I have no problems with them but haven't played the game in a while due to how I'm busy playing random games in my library to make muh discounted purchases to go back to this on for an achievement run. Achievements seem simple enough to go through. Finish the main story, Collect a specific items, use all weapons and all that jazz. Perhaps perform a special things that will improve your hub area to show that you aren't alone in the game as you progress. Storywise, I remember something about the light and the dark being at ends with each other, but Can't remember what exactly what happened in it but You definately stop it somehow when you see it through the end. I think... (shrugs). The Co-op thing is required to get to areas and would works great, but unfortunately I did not encounter anyone online to see a new person fade in and out of my game and vice versa to make it work. Bright side you have a permenant NPC companion to help you out. They can be a meatshield and help you get to certain places just fine. Overall I find the game good enough to go through and is quite relaxing to go from one place to another. Get it on a deal and good luck on your adventures doing so.
Currently own this game on steam and so far I say regardless of which one you'll get the the same experience. The game is fun and annoying at the same time and I like it for what it is. I can feel like grind and you may need to modify game files if you want to one of the two endings if you don't want to play through the entire game twice. I would say the gameplay is simple to follow as you get to hack and slash your way through a bunch of enemies, but you will have to deal with enemies that will need to be dealt with like a puzzle in order to hurt them. Unfortunately you can only hurt standard mobs but not any special enemies (including bosses) with your swords and mashing a single button and instead use your magical powers to hurt them. I also tried to performing techniques that involve movement for a particular area where I have to avoid blades and I can't seem to do it properly consistently and end up just tanking damage by thankfully given the system to buying your health in the game's menu. The story is where you end up being a treasure hunter finding some artifact to pay your bills and causes you to fight hordes of monsters/guardians where you show them why you don't where much clothing. The story is... well... okay I guess for its time? So far I simply focus on hitting enemies, getting the combo and glade the game progression does not have a ranking to see how much time you took taking an entire army of foes that lived int he temple. On the bright side beating it the first time will grant you a harder difficulty, and some outfits that make your character look more prepared (and gorgeous with the HD upgrade DLC) before entering into the temple to steal sh*t. Just don't expect to see the outfits during cutscenes. I say when it is on a deal get it on a deal. If you want to officially own a relic of the past and say yeah I played through it get it on GOG.
It can be a walking similator at times that show you incredibly gorgeous set pieces to see with a little bit of detective work on the side to figure out what's going on. What I didn't expect was it to have tense moments for that caused me to truly get the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up. Reccomend to those that like to see pretty things, a decent story, and a casual game that doesn't require you to be mentally prepared for high octain action. 8/10 would get it during a sale.
It feels like a slog to get through. It doesn't feel anything like Motorhead. All I can see is skeletons. over and over and over again. I cant' look at a skeleton the same way anymore. If you have the mental fortitude to slog through random generated dungeons, go for it. For now just I say finish Motorhead to get a weapon to solve an entire horde of random enemies. At least there is an ending I hope by the time I eventually beat it. I'll keep on trekking to see if the ending is worth it and never open the DLC again.
You get to hear a bunch of bangers and the bosses are fun fights. You can't believe it could get better after going through the best game. The developers seem to really put their time crafting the fun in this one. Reccomend it to those going down memory lane of what was created with love, or eager to trying out something during listen to the music as a metal head and feel like a badass fighting bosses.
I liked this game when I had the ability to grind, but this game will be able to satify it without the need to souly rely on the gear and levels to go through the game. Main story is decent, and as the time of putting this review I find the dlc is hilarious. I reccomend the game if you like an ARPG/action game for those wanting a taste of a fanstasy setting with John vampire hunter to fight the bad evil.
I got to say the game is intense and I love every second of it. If you like boomer shooters and wish to fire into a crowd of unspeakable horrors in self defense, this is the game for you. You can choose between two characters that will have thier own playstyles on top abilities that will help you on your journey. Every firefight is intense but can be overcomed, and atmosphere and artstyle is gorgeous to look at when you get the chance to admire the environments and weapons you weld in your hands. It can feel bright and hard to look at time when the gloom effects happen, but it is something I can expect when dealing a setting with H.P. Lovecraft's work. I highly reccomend it when you feel the urge to go through a bunch of boomer shooters, and to use this game as a time sink for yourself you can go through it all over again in new game plus mode after you beat it the first time, and an endless mode for more more endless mobs to slaughter by you Holy/Journalist might.
