It seems to be very hight on the this game is bad scale, maybe worst than no man sky xDD...
Well it happens , they want to sell it anyway because they need to minimize the loss but ofc it feels like a scam, its an unfinished game with poor ideas.
The visuals are intersting thought, it feels a bit like "real" 3d doom when you are in hell, but...well this isnt good.
And here goes my rant about horror game in general, people doing horror game forget now what video game is about, let me explain...
Its not just about the technical part, the visual, the sound effects, and the GORE.
I guess it started with dead space or maybe doom is guilty of it before, but...now horror games are all about the visuals, the extreme violence and gore, and the jump scare , and that's it.
But the game design needs to reflect the horror,to increase the stress of the player and the experience, its not just an interractive movie its a game aswell and if you want to make it horror you have to make some "horror game design choices" not just put a typical action/TPA game gameplay or make it a walking simulator with jumpscares.
For instance a good jump scare isnt just a place you see for the first time with a dark corner and something popping out of it when you get near, because you know after the first one that it will happen again, and for any other game to come next in that gendra, and it's been almost 10 years, so its bad xD
And you have so many other things, low ammo, save management, storage issues, the game needs to make you feel weak and everytime you think you progress you need to face something way more scarier.
A good jumpscare is when you play a game with safe place or place that you already know , that suddenly are not safe anymore, because after that you will fear that any safe place isnt safe anymore but at the same time you still want the place you know to be safe to still be safe...
And the gore level, its just too much nowadays, it's not even scary its just disgusting.
Best horror game is RE remake on gamecube, hands down.
I hope re2 remake will be the best horror game, from what I have seen this is promising.
