Why players love itThings to know
67% of themes are praise300 helpful reviews33% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
149 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Weapons feel ok to use (lack punch) and have a solid spread of utility.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Exploration is encouraged, and finding health, ammo, and “Soul Tethers” (your quick-save mechanic) off the beaten path is always rewarding.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is brutal, as expected from Andrew and it delivers gritty guitars, ambient horror tones, and industrial drums.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, the game nails the gritty, lo-fi horror aesthetic, with chunky models, grotesque textures, and eerie lighting.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The bottom line is, IMO, if you know what to expect and what you're getting into, there's isn't another FPS that matches this one in terms of scope, or fun gunplay combined with fast movement.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Movement feels good, the weapon roster is so-so, they feel like reskinned Quake guns but sometimes worse.
