Gotta say I'm really impressed by this game. Only a few days since full release and the devs are updating and patching it daily. Some optional QoA Features would be nice. I don't want or need quest markers but some kind of reminder of quests you have or are local to the area you're entering.

Combat reminds me of a mix of Pillars of Eternity 1 and Parasite Eve.

Visuals are really cool I love the style used to create the world and the characters.

So far the music is nice but I dont think I'd remember it if I heard it again out of context. It suites the theme nicely but a little forgettable.

Some will be put off by the lack of Voice Acting and I do think it would greatly benefit from it but that would take lots of time and money I'm sure the devs dont have.

Maybe some more combat voice lines or generic voice lines said by Party members would help give your characters more of a personality but it's not a major issue. Not played enough to judge the writing so I'll give it time.

If you like a classic RPG you'll love this. If you enjoyed Diablo 2 or Baldurs Gate 1-2 you'll love this.

I've played more unsettling childrens games than this. It feels very predictable a part of the issue in some areas is the tedious map design with super narrow alley ways and maze like small town streets that constantly force you to open the map in the middle of being chased sucking all the tension out of the encounter.

It looks very nice. If cinematography in games could win an Oscar I'd at least see it nominated.

The gameplay is repetitive to a point where it quickly becomes tiring and also not at all difficult. Once you get the timings down you can endlessly stun lock the majority of enemies in the game. This makes encounters feel like a waste of time to pad out smaller areas in the game instead of using enemy placement to put you in tense situations.

Idk its fine I guess. I've yet to finish it but I think I know where the story is going and it seems a little cliche which is disappointing for a Silent Hill game given the surreal nature of the previous installments.

I'd recommend it though its not awful just not as good as it could have been. Maybe on a deep sale though.

An okay CRPG doesn't really do anything special mechanics wise. The UI is a little tedious especially the upgrade screen and the quality of voice acting varies quite heavily. I think if you have as much text as this game does it has to be worth reading and so far ive not seen much substance in the dialogue.

But I'm 30 hours into a 130 game and I enjoy it enough so far so if you liked PoE, Wasteland 1/2 or even Pathfinder you'll probably get your money's worth.

It's not fear & hunger it's Lisa The Painful in Lovecraft horror form. I really love the creativity used in the design of the zones and sprites but also in the companion mechanics. I've taken my time with my first play-through and I have enjoyed every second of it.

Not a fan of the Overwatch priced skins for a paid game when The Finals cosmetics costed a fraction of the prices here.

But what a really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good game there's alot of content for a 30 quid game (5 maps so far) and i hope they keep adding to it.

Cool game but The FPS is and the awful aim acceleration make the game feel like moving a knife through frozen butter.

Early Access Review
Incredibly fun the movement is akin to Ultrakill / Cruelty squad, in its creativity. The Skill system is also quite cool and a really clever way to balance the game. For gameplay it is pretty much a combo of Deep Rock and Risk Of Rain 2.

I hope this sells well cause they deserve it

Has a weird bug where it looks like you've got double vision like a second set of frames is playing right behind the ones on top but otherwise solid remaster. I disagree with the price I think but id still recommend it on sale it is a classic after all.

I hate football but this game is really fun. I'd say a 20 quid price is fair but for how long the game was beta tested there are so many bugs. The team communication tools are lacking there's no way to ping or com an unmarked player unless you use voice and alot of people don't. To be honest its in the late early access stages (despite its full release) and just needs some polishing to tidy it up.

Really good start and being an Englishman i rarely give the French praise ;)

I've waited so long or this game. The style just clicks for me plus the atmosphere is something ive only felt in silent hill and Faith.

Highly Highly recommend for any horror fans.

Great job J.R. it's awesome
