This game is straight up BORING.

it is too dark even with flashlight. there is no sense of intelligent design, landmarks, or even any way to orient yourself properly. the maps dont add up. the compass is there you cant use it. the sounds meant to guide you dont last and arent even directionally audio wise placed correctly anyway. theres is no atmosphere or suspense because there is zero sense of direction. i do not understand how you thought this would be a fulfilling experience to anyone.

This is a very good game and I recommend you try it. I have great memories with friends messing around in this game, and trying to beat it. The fact its a little plain, makes it better. You will never know what will happen next... And this is coming from an indie developer, that loves to play single dev games, this might not be but I'm guessing it is. Very fun, worth every minute of my time.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packsBundles

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.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
