Clive Barker's Undying

Better than Jericho...I guess

I remember this game getting decent reviews back in the day so I thought I'd check it out here for October as it seemed like a good choice for a spooky game...I was wrong. It's way too whacky and poorly designed. Honestly I wasn't really enjoying it that much before that, I'm not a fan of the leaping enemies in this game whatsoever, their hitboxes are weird and their leaps sometimes hit me when they seem like they shouldn't have and the the monks who are a complete and total joke...the zombies don't seem to be able to be killed so I just run past them...and that's literally all the enemies I've seen in several hours of gameplay...really lacking in enemy variety and all the 'horror' stuff I've seen just falls flat, it's lacking the visual design for my brain to say horror...it all just seems silly and whacky to me. The family members are some of the worst offenders for this. There's also an absolutely insane amount of backtracking in levels that are too large and empty with respawning enemies, with no in-game map, and a slow running speed. These all add up to a game that is a chore to play. I did like that the voice acting made an attempt to capture the setting as accurately as they did. Also once I got to a certain point in the game it just crashes constantly without fail every 15 minutes or so and I can't deal with that.
