Игра "From the Shadows" – это напряжённый стелс-хоррор, который держит в напряжении от начала и до конца. Визуальный стиль, мрачный и атмосферный, отлично погружает в мир кошмара, где каждый шорох может стать последним. Механика пряток в тенях реализована на отлично, заставляя продумывать каждый шаг и использовать окружение в своих интересах. Сюжет, хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, неплохо раскрывает историю протагониста и его борьбу за выживание. Отдельно стоит отметить звуковое сопровождение – оно просто великолепно! Скрипы, шепоты и внезапные звуки создают эффект полного присутствия и постоянно держат в напряжении. Искусственный интеллект противников достаточно умён и не прощает ошибок, что делает игру сложной, но при этом увлекательной. Единственным минусом можно назвать некоторую однообразность локаций, но это компенсируется интересным геймплеем и постоянным чувством опасности. В целом, "From the Shadows" – отличный выбор для любителей стелс-хорроров, которые ищут игру, способную пощекотать нервы и подарить незабываемые впечатления. Рекомендую!

You can play it. It's fun, but it's short and unfinished. "Unfinished" meaning the story has no conclusion. The level select is a Prologue and a Chapter 1. No chapter 2. Weird to label the main game as chapter 1 when that is all there is.

I loved this game so much. I had childhood flashbacks of my little me playing mario bros, and I really enjoyed. Very original, well made and well thoght. I would pay for another game like this (coop, platforms and having two characters with different abilities helping each other)

Terrific CO-OP game! Unique puzzle elements, and lots of different mechanisms.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
