I leave the sewers to find a large, open-door area, crawling with enemies. At my current state, any well-placed shot could end me. I deftly dodge around hails of gunfire and grenades, and through precise shooting and careful movement, I make it through without a scratch. Having finished picking up the fallen horde's weapons and ammo, I notice a tractor in the corner. As I approach, the tractor comes alive and kills me instantly. It is at that moment that I knew I kinda love HROT. If you're like me, you should play this game. Admittedly, it starts way stronger than it ends. The weapons all become very familiar well the end of the first episode, the level design falls off, and the tense, almost survival-horror atmosphere gives way to an annoyance with the amount of wave combat segments and backtracking. But at no point does HROT stop being, not to mince words, completely insane. As long as you keep playing, you will keep seeing things that'll make you think "wow, I never thought I would ever see THAT". If that's not enough to get you interested, maybe HROT isn't for you. But if seeing messed up things happen in a solid shooter is your thing, you owe it to yourself to play HROT at least once.
