Before I begin, why is this game marked as a simulator…I guess it simulates getting scared…anyways. I had fun with this one. The story is fine, the gameplay though is fun…if you subtract searching for stuff. I’m gonna be completely honest, I ended up looking up half of the locations for the quests like the generators what not because I am terrible at finding stuff in games so don’t look at my review if you’re goin “but is it fun to find stuff”. The horror elements I can comment on. One complaint I’ve seen with the game is that the security droids movement is randomized and to be honest, it’d be more scary to have it randomized to keep the player on their toes. The first jumpscare hits the most with later ones declining in scare factor besides some exceptions. It does a good job at scaring…THAT BEING SAID. I have not played Alien Isolation yet and a lot of reviews I’ve heard say it’s a wanna be of that game. First off there are other games that have stealth horror so it’s kind of a weak point in the sense that it’s trying to be this, but on the other hand I haven’t played alien isolation and it could be way better than this game soooooo who knows. I was also thinking while playing “this would be cool I’m vr”. I like having a non vr option available, but if they ever add vr I think it’ll be the best one yet since horror games in vr are on a different level. That also being said, there is a vr game similar to this called “Jurassic World Aftermath” soooo might pick that up and review it later. The game runs terribly in some areas like it lags…on a PS5, and the graphics don’t look that good in some areas. Lastly, the best part of the game is Gregory and Freddy and the Memes…that is all, goodbye…BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE

Before this review was a 4, but now it’s a 3.5! How did it get this way? Well it’s simple. The game is more broken then what I thought. I forgot to consider: no jumpscare animations at some points, enemy teleportation, enemies getting stuck making you win boss fights easily, balls in ball pit not generating ball effect. jumpscares that should’ve never happened including one in the elevator, a part in which I can’t spoil that got butchered by a model still being present, Freddy disapearing in elevator, and glitching out of the charging tube. And that is before I went back to do the true ending since I got the bad ending and already met most of the criteria for the true ending. I used a glitch allowing saves after 6 AM, At the final non descriptive boss, Freddy randomly decides to run out of juice fast, and best of all: I got jumpscare in the credits randomly. At least I got the achievement so yeah, docked a star due to glitchy performance. If they improve the star will be brought back but for now it is what it is

And now there is more…no dock this time, but thank god I’m not the only one that thinks the game was hard. YouTuber Astro Spiff commented that it is easier to break the game then it is to actually complete it based off of how hard it is to find stuff and honestly the more I think the more I just want to play alien isolation or Jurassic Aftermath…man this was one long review. I might try to speedrun since it’s broken that bad who knows.

And now there is more people are confirming that this game has little directions on what to do which is a big no no for main plot stuff so docker half a star for that amongst other issues. The more I think about this game the worst it gets. But hey the characters and the memes are fun!
