Snuff

Imagine a game with the movement of Quake, gore, and atmosphere in the vein of Postal 2, Manhunt, Hitman, and Hotline Miami, and you get Snuff. Is it janky? Yes. Does it look like a cheap game that you could find on itchio or gamejolt? Sure. Can it be buggy at times? Yeah. Is it fun? BET YOUR FREAKING ASS IT IS! Snuff is a great reminder of why indie games exist and why they matter. You just can't get experiences like that in the AAA scene. Also, it costs literal pennies; there is absolutely no reason to grab it and see if you like it!

For a dollar (but not much more, particularly during a broader Steam sale), I'd say it's more or less fine - think Postal 2 kusoge with a thematic dash of Hitman/Manhunt. Soldier of Fortune gameplay, some would say, but I don't recall being an invincible crackhead in that one. Tons of bugs (some game-breaking), more pointless edge than a redneck knife catalog, and every excuse to scythe through a couple hundred hostile morons. Bosses are generally differentiated from mooks via slightly obnoxious gimmick battles - chase a guy on a jet ski, or run up on a bulletproof idiot and mash melee attacks until one registers, that sort of thing. One-note, quickly resolved. Guns are surprisingly okay, actually - true ADS across the board and an unusually legitimate revolver with a wonky inverse trigger pull as a workaround to portraying a DA trigger. Again, it's fine for a buck, but the price-point's doing the work of Atlas here.

It's not a particularly 'good' game, but for 1€ and the sheer amount of soul it has, i would recommend it to pretty much anyone who likes shooties

yeah its worth a buck but jesus the boss fights suck, especially when you want to have fun with the rest of the game. If you desire any kind of challenge you need to raise the difficulty past the point that includes checkpoints. it claims to save before the boss fights but this never happens so i just end up breaking the level, avoiding the shooting gallery ive passed 300 times before, to reach the boss fight. i dont think its unfairly difficult or too jank but the boss fights and broken checkpoints ruin it. cant really recommend it because of this but its not bad its just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying

Complete trash that was full of ideas and could have been a fun little game. Even the most basic systems like checkpoints, shooting, and footstep sounds barely work at all, and the mindless enemies just charge straight at you. If you hold a knife around a corner, you don’t even need to fight.

Wait...the what to the what...hell.....
