The thick fog nails that Silent Hill-style psychological horror mood, but it can't hide how shaky the game's design really is.18 found this helpful
A I am not big fan of this title. This was supposed to be horror, which instead making me scared sometimes makes me annoyed. This is basically walking simulator with really straighforward chapters design, where in most of the cases you have just one path. Apart from caves level which instead is way to long. Story itself has important message to deliver, but experiencing this from the perspective of this character makes little sense to me. Seeing this from daughter side would be better, but hey! Girls don't wield guns so we coudn't have this mechanic being added. Glad it's over, it was just a few hours.1 found this helpful
Husk isn't terrible, but it isn't good either. It's mediocre in nearly all respects. Being an indie game from almost a decade ago, I won't bother critiquing the graphics because there's no point. However, the combat is janky and uninteresting. The general pacing of the game makes the experience feel like an unenjoyable slog. Puzzles are very basic and uninspired. Voice acting ranges from [i]okay[/i] to [i]very [b]not[/b] okay.[/i] The story isn't awful, but it is very predictable; by the time the prologue is over, you already know how the story will end. On a positive note, Husk doesn't rely on cheap jump scares. The game has a few moments of creepiness, but the problem is that the poor pacing tends to ruin whatever sense of atmosphere the developer was trying to build. I didn't notice any major bugs during my playthrough, which is a plus. Lastly, the stealth mechanic is basic but does seem to work properly -- and if you don't like sneaking around, you can always opt for the janky combat instead. I'm sure this game has its fans, but I wouldn't recommend Husk to anyone. There are much better ways to spend your time and money.1 found this helpful
Terrible graphics, game isn't optimize, and the combat sucks1 found this helpful
Interesting game with mystery and clues to unravel. Wife and daughter on train for a ride with me? Play game to find out.
