l love so much top-down shooters, but this one unfortunately came out in unpolished stage and still doesnt have any serious fixing updates. -Horrible camera that doesnt follow your cursor like in other games. Instead you just need to press... Q for left and E fo right... -Collisions problems: sometimes you get stuck, enemies attack u through walls/doors; -Too few weapons and you can take them and upgrade only in terminals, which is not much realistic (what this game is trying to be) at all; -Not much enjoyable shooting: it's hard even to shoot the weakest zombie, which require more than 3 bullets from max upgraded weapon; -These annoying spawning "black holes" that suddenly appear just in front of you... hate them so much -Too much darkness... too much; -Sometimes reloading just stops and l need to press "R" for a few seconds again... -Physics of items are still not finished. You need to see this actually when boxes are between you and a zombieж -Nobody plays it and they still didnt make "Remote play" available. All the developer needs to do is just tick the box "remote play" in Steamworks page of the game, but the developer decided not to. Also when you open the game via steam b…

Just recommending this game for co-op, otherwise singleplayer is utterly nonsense and repetitive. Though if you have bunch of jobless friends to play with, this could be pretty fun, dealing with nasty creatures who keep on spamming your screen.

I had fun with this game back in the day. Didn't have friends to play with though. Still don't because I'm still the ONLY ONE that owns it. You don't need them though. Solid game. Nice music. Cool creatures. Can be challenging. 6/10.

After playing through the entire story campaign of Primal Fears I feel ready to give my ultimate opinion on it. Primal Fears is an unpolished Top-Down Shooter game that becomes very repetitive and frustrating at times. From enemies that go through walls, the lackluster pick in weaponry, and the clunky camera controls made me realize that there are better games that do what this game does without such a headache. Primal Fears however does get some things right such as the beautiful lighting, the interesting set pieces you have to fight your way through, and the upgrade systems that are permanent across different levels and modes. Overall, if you do ultimately wish to get this game I would recommend getting it on a sale since the Online Mode is pretty much dead and you'd need friends who also have the game to experience that part of it. Or better yet just avoid this game with its dated mechanics and go for a more polished game that does what it does better.

I'll start with what I didn't like - the physics interactions with props was not great. The only purpose of props, that I saw, was just for them to get in your way. There's one section I thought I was stuck on in the hospital level, when it turned out I just had to very wonkily move a physics object out of the way. There are also inconsistencies with the object interactions, more specifically the planks. You can break them to enter the doors in the hospital level. There are ones that look like you should be able to break in the police level, come to find out you can't and the area was a dead end. The levels more or less felt the same, although I did only play the police and hospital maps. They reused assets and the enemies/bosses were all the exact same. At least there was some weapon variety and I liked that the upgrades to them are permanent. The weapons are probably this games biggest strength. I didn't [i]hate[/i] my time with this game - it's a decently competent topdown shooter, albeit lacking some design polish. There was no real story, it just felt like I was aimlessly wandering a map shooting the same creatures over and over again. Got old pretty fast. If you're a fan o…
