Nothing like the other series so far... I enjoyed the other games in the series but I am not sure about this 1..Lots of spiders.... and Lots of waiting. The elevator in the beginning you might even fall asleep waiting to reach the top. Neurosa Primal Ritual is a decent looking game graphically and storywise, however its boring gameplay and crippling bugs including some game breaking issues make it near impossible to enjoy playing. You can almost guarantee your save will be broken when trying to reload. You are going to have to complete this game all in one session if possible, the save/load feature was probably not even tested and I assure you its without a doubt broken. Other bugs include the Shooter bugs dead bodies still crawling around, The red cube going missing, making progression impossible. Sometimes the spiders jump at you after you kill them for 1 last bite to eat. I really wish the developer didn't abandon this one because the other Neurosa games actually were playable. One time I lost the ability to move after a cutscene. One time I got stuck in an obelisk. Other times my saves when inserted into the machine to LOAD a game, it just didn't light up at all. This game I …

The game is fun but there are game breaking bugs that affect saving and progress. I even tried playing without saves but it crashed. It seems abandoned by devs.

I really liked the intro and the scale of the spiders & the sounds. Even running in the forest from the spiders is fun. I would not recommend this game to anyone with arachnophobia. That's being said, the graphics and the controls are dated, especially as a late 2019 release. In the post-alyx world, I'm too spoiled for this.

If you have played or enjoyed any of the other Nevrosa games you should find this one well worth a look. While this one is a lot buggier than the rest I still found the graphics and storyline carry it along, always leaving you wanting to know how the story progresses. There is a much lager lean into the adventure side of things with this game and you will be doing a lot of walking about and backtracking, but I kind of like that about this game more than the others. The whole game took me about 4 hours to finish, but I am a scaredy-cat so some of the darker parts of the game I slowed to a crawl, which means other people might finish it sooner than that. I just feel the £15.49 current asking price is a touch too high, even getting a third off that price should leave you feeling pretty satisfied with your purchase.

Walk around in a spooky alien forest for an hour or two, the idea that health is your ammo as well is a good idea, but the walking around in a nearly empty forest isn't, if there where more things to do then the main story then this wouldn't feel so bad, but if you play this before the previous games I think that you can leave the series on a positive note, but this game deserves a mixed review
