Echoes of the Living

I wanted to like this game so badly. Being a fan and gamer since the beginning of survival horror games. However, the gane is so inconsistent. A zombie falls down, gets up slowly. Except when then don't and all of sudden are up like the Flash. Or a crawling Zombie glitches across the screen to grab you. The controls are putrid. And I am a huge fan of tank controls. But the modern option is bad too. The game is so dark you can forget about playing during the day. I understand its in early access but this is just not worth 24.99. Just very disappointed.

A love letter to all Resident Evil fans.

Bastante mal hecho. El tracking de objetos es pésimo, nunca puedo ver dónde están los objetos correctamente. En otros juegos, hacen que el protagonista esté mirando fijamente el objeto. Acá es demasiado sutil. Los puzzles son demasiado fáciles, la navegación se siente espantosa por el pésimo diseño de niveles. Los enemigos te pueden encerrar en una esquina y hacer stunlock. Es tan malo que ni puedo terminar el juego. Falla en tantas cosas que los juegos grandes de terror de hace 20 años hacian bien. Está muy por debajo de otros títulos indie.

Echoes of the Living is an interesting game, you can tell it was made with a lot of love and appreciation for older survival horror titles (namely REmake, RE3: Nemesis) and there are some really fun parts of this game. MoonGlint knows how to create an environment that’s a puzzle box that is constantly unfolding and changing and that’s without a doubt this games strongest feature. Unfortunately EOTL has a laundry list of flaws too. I’m not going to complain about the janky animations in cutscenes or whatever. But the game as a whole needs a second audio pass done. A lot of the mixing in this game is just not correct. Certain enemies will sound as if they’re right next to your ear when they’re not, the headshot sound effect is by far one of the loudest things I’ve ever heard in any game ever and it’s so jarring and after almost 22 hours I never want to hear that sound again. Another issue that plagues this game is the maps, certain environments just don’t get maps, which can lead to frustration, numerous times where I spent 20-30 minutes running back and forth scratching my head what to do next, only to find out there was a small pathway just out of my direct line of sight in an …

awesome game love the old style of resident evil games it has and great accomplishment this game has and deserves game of the year can't wait for full release
