This was possibly the first FPS I played, I knew Doom and Quake existed, but I didn't get around to playing them in '97. My first experience was with Chasm the Rift. At that time, I didn't even know you could use the mouse and keyboard at the same time to play an FPS. For me, using the keyboard only was the normal way, and that's how I enjoyed it back then. The experience was incredible. I was impressed by the atmosphere, the intricate level design, and the final bosses where you didn't just have to shoot, you had to be observant. The gunplay was impressive: shooting an arm, ripping it off its body, and watching it fly through the air. Awesome. Now I play it with the keyboard and mouse, on its highest difficulty. Enemy projectiles are homing, so you have to be quick and take cover before shooting. For me, this is a great game, possibly the one that made video games my favorite pastime.
I hate giving this game such a low rating, but the things I don't like outweigh the things I do. I like the pace of the game, the action. The gunfights require some stealth, and I love that. However, there are some things that really drive me crazy. The menu beep sound is one of the most annoying sounds I've ever encountered in a game. You can't change some keys, like the Target Lock key. Some levels, the later ones, are extremely difficult. Enemies have a 99% hit scan. They're projectiles, but they're so fast that you have to do everything perfectly to finish the later levels. Sometimes you shoot at the enemy, and if your mouse points at them but isn't perfectly centered on their body, your shot is useless. The clearest example is when an enemy is in a corner or on the edge of a door. You have vision of their body, you aim at them, but your shot won't do anything. These and a few other things have driven me crazy, replay same level over and over, and over, which is why I'm giving it such a low rating.
The game is incredible, the type of games that are no longer made, a dark adult atmosphere with steampunk touches, a very mystical, dreamlike and prophetic story. The level design will blow your mind. A kind of Tomb Raider and Metroid from beyond the grave Voodoo
Sprawl is an amazing experience, it has elements of Mirrors edge and Fear, with a very powerful electronic OST. Magnificent game.
Este juego de plataformas es magico, ya desde la musica te hace viajar a epocas pasadas. muy recomendable.
one of the best single player experience i had on my PC, the way to beat each area, the level design, the action fight and that insane World hypnoticed me. Great game.
