This was one of the worst games I've played in a while. Ever play something so poorly designed in almost every aspect that it just boggles your mind? Well for this, this game did that for me. And as a Sonic fan, that is saying something.
Movement is so janky. Moving through the terrain genuinely feels glitchy at times. It's hard to explain, but slight elevations off the ground can make you feel glitchy. Something as hard to explain as this cant be said through words, only experienced. General traversal is very poorly designed, you cant even jump over 1cm railing for instance. Or walk 2cms into a pool of water and jankily without getting teleported backwards. It's just so poorly handled.
The gunplay is surprisingly solid, but that wont matter much because in most levels, you can simply run past enemies with zero consequences. Thats right, you can ignore most of the enemies. They cant detect you very well at all, so you can waltz past them. And the demon enemies that lack long ranged attacks can be easily ran away from. For the last 1/3 of the game I stopped killing all together as it felt pointless.
Set pieces are very poorly designed, due to the low budget I assume, most feel unpolished animation wise and gameplay wise. With set pieces, you need that high budget and high care to make them feel cool, but here, just due to the budget they feel cheap.
People call this game a survival horror, but I wouldnt know that because this game isnt scary in the least. And ammo and purifiers are so common it dont matter at all. I never felt scared nor did I feel desperate for resources.
The general difficulty of this game is a joke too, I breezed through it on normal difficulty, I only died due to level design being so poor sometimes where I walk into a "death zone" that I didnt know existed, like sticking my foot into a 1cm pool of water or dropping from a 2cm height onto a section your not supposed to be on. Thats where most of my deaths came from.
I have been speaking at length for the gameplay, but honestly a lot of the game is slowly following an NPC through a very boring scripted walk with nothing happening at all, despite my issues with the gameplay it felt like one of the least interactive games I've played in months, a visual novel had more interactivty at times.
Now the story? Bahahaha, this games story was so dumb. Something about aliens or something? I didnt really care. I wasnt invested in the characters, villains or that baby alien thing. The setting is awesome, but I didnt care about anything else.
I've torn into this game, but at least it was a sweet 6 hour experience so it never dragged on. And the locales you explore look nice, and the visuals do even if they are paired with cheap visual effects or animations at times.
I can tell from the reviews a lot of people like this game, so dont mind me if I dont like this game. I'm just some rando, but yeah this game didnt do it for me.
