Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Alright the likes, the gameplay is okay, rather simple run around, activate computers and avoid the monster nothing too major, but it does try and keep things interesting with the fact that the monster is attracted to large outputs of energy so you have to overload power terminals which was an interesting idea.
