People are understandably forgiving of indie games that position themselves as spiritual successors to games from a bygone era.
Because aside from the very basic aspects of moment to moment gameplay, this is all deeply uninspired. I don't think it's doing anything sufficiently better than FEAR. Which would be fine, but it's been 20 years. Without some kind of hook, it falls flat.
It's fine! I just want more than fine. Of course, I like first person shooting so much that I'm sure I'll end up finishing it regardless.
Wish they could've gotten some good writers for it. Not that FEAR was a bastion of storytelling, but they were trying something. This... isn't so much.
