(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, I'm gonna start with the fact that this is a pretty fun game and I have enjoyed it so far.
I will warn you though, do not buy this game thinking it will be a scary/horror game like Outlast or Dead Space. The way the game is made is that it looks scary but it is not really going to scare you if you know what I mean. Its like people dress up for Halloween and look scary but you know there is nothing to be afraid of. The game doesn't really do much for jump scares either, I think there have only been like 2 or 3 that have gotten me so far.

GAMEPLAY

So anyways, the gameplay is pretty good. It has stealth for most of the beginning and progresses a little slowly but then gets more exciting and moves onto more of killing and surviving by killing enemies and doing a task here and there. It has the same concept as most games. As the game progresses you will find better weapons and the bosses/enemies will slowly become harder to kill.

ENEMIES

The enemies are pretty easy to kill most of the time. It only gets hard when there are a lot and they will swarm you. You can easily slide past them without getting hurt but if you are low on health they will kill you instantly. Same goes for bosses. If you use the right weapons, the Bosses will die quickly, its just very annoying when you are low on health because if they boss gets anywhere near you he will grab you and instakill you.

SURVIVING

The game is based on health packs and health injections. Health injections give you small amounts and health packs will fully heal you. There is a small downside to a health pack though. Once used you will go into a dazed type of moment and you are basically helpless for a few seconds so they are worthless if you are in any danger while using them. The game also is very bad at giving you health when it is actually needed. Almost every boss fight I have been though is with low health and it gets irritating redoing the boss fight because i was so low on health that it instakilled me when it got near me. The other thing I would like to point out is that you are going to die. The game has a lot of parts set up so you will be in a situation where if you don't react exactly the way the developers expected you to, you will just get killed and you can't not avoid it. This isn't much of a problem i just wanted to put that out there.

All in all I would give this game a 8/10 based on gameplay and pace of game.

For horror I would give it a 4/10 because like i said in the beginning it wont really scare you unless you are 5 years old. The occasional jump scare is nice but are too seldom.

I most likely will replay the game because it did have a lot to do and knowing what to look for and how to avoid being killed so often i think a second play through is definitely a must.

Hope you Enjoyed my review and feel free to ask any questions or give me your thoughts on the game Smile

TLAwesome faceR If you are in the mood for an Action/Survival game that involves some stealth and has a fun new boss every chapter then this is the game for you.
