What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Obscure gives you a mix of a good combat system that's fluid and like a classic survival horror having to stop to reload or swing your melee weapon and pretty good co-op gameplay, one of the only true survival horror games that has co-op and it was indeed creepy, co-op doesn't make a game less scary.
There are really much more puzzles and other situations, where you need some team work, which feels even better in the coop mode!
I sincerely want to recommend this game for passing, because it has a great soundtrack.
Visually, Obscure II shows its age but still carries a distinctive, atmospheric art style.
While the game opines a caricature of the time it was released I was somewhat impressed by the way our many playable characters interact with each other, making for a very varied and repayable experience if only because you can explore different ways of handling each situation.
