Painted In Blood

The game is good, but this will remain a thumbs down until I can save anywhere, at any time. Sorry, but I'm not playing on a PlayStation, so please, don't insult us PC players with this limited saving system bullsheet.

What surprised me the most about Painted in Blood Chapter 1 wasn't just the horror or the disturbing environments — it was how much the game actually affected me emotionally. There is this heavy, almost melancholic atmosphere throughout the game. You often feel completely alone, uncertain about what is waiting around the next corner, and constantly on edge. But at the same time, the game makes you want to keep moving forward because you genuinely want to understand what happened to this world. And it's not just the enemies that make Painted in Blood disturbing. It's the environments. The sounds. The silence. And the way the game tells its story without constantly explaining everything to you. There were moments where I actually stopped moving just to look around and take everything in. You can feel the sadness, desperation and hopelessness that seems to have consumed this place. But the moment that really stayed with me came at the very end. When I finished Chapter 1, I actually started crying. And to be completely honest, I still don't really know why. Maybe it was the atmosphere.

The game definitely has the potential, but the developers must fix some design issues, for example add a map and normal way to save the game instead of checkpoints. Replaying the same area many times is simply annoying.

A man Fighting his demons the game, aint that bad but two major issues: 1- Visual clarity, enemies just blend to the background 90% of the time making most encounters annoying to fight through. The fact that most times i only know what kind enemy im fighting is when they are close or when the shot fly way to close for comfort when you can dodge it that is. Also comes in play with items, where most of the time i found items after the fight. The best i can see to solve the problem with the items is to use the blue butterflies as a kind of highlight as for the enemies i don't know a way without breaking the art-style in some way. 2- Weapons flees slugsh, the major problem with the weapons is that if you shot the primary (even if it is just one shot) and want to fire the secondary you can't leaving the player completely vulnerable for no good reason. if this is a bug i hope it gets fixed or if it was intencinal i hope it get change by chapter 2.

Solid spooky shooter.
