The Fog (2017)

Before you read: Keep in mind I'm still playing, and I've only played about 25 minutes so far, and died once. So, I think my experience with this game is... odd, so far. You're dropped into nowhere, with very little explanation of what's going on. You have no tutorial, no helpboxes short of just the occasional "E to interact" "Space to pick up", etc. You're not actually taught how to use the items, you need to kinda figure it out. The graphics are a bit weird, they kinda remind me of DayZ's early days and I think it's a little bit rough. The lighting is very peculiar, and the flashlight doesn't really help all that much - especially after you've taken damage. That's another thing: Damage. When you step into the fog, or get hit by any of the creatures, you sustain damage which shows itself as blood on your screen. The blood fogs your vision (pun intended), and while I understand the sort of "realism" you were going for with the tunnel vision idea, it's a little grating considering how you're set up with very little to help you and you have almost no clue of what to do. The stamina isn't really that great either considering how little there is and how you have virtually no weapo…

I brought this on sale thinking it can't be as bad as the reviews. The truth is its worse. Game had a long load time, terrible lag, difficult controls and poor graphics. Unlock a door and it shows as still locked, walk away and try again and its will then open. This game suffers from a total lack of atmosphere and no save facility. Very surprised its not listed as early access as clearly not ready.

10 minutes in and im bored. No write up, of how to play, no save function at this time. Whil it has potential right now its a JOKE and a HUGE DISGRACE TO THE HORROR GENRE. DO NOT BUY AT THIS TIME I DONT CARE IF ITS ON SALE OR NOT. One response to forum postings back in december but not a peep from anyone sense. NO NO NO, not even on sale. I have seen every horror movie out there even B rated, i saw the Mist, i saw every version of the fog. This game made me want to cry 10 minutes into it. The graphics of the huge monsteer walking through the fog in back was a joke looked like a gaint puppet just strolling through. Then you have the lag issues the game jerks around and you really kinda just have this fuzzy screen for a few seconds wondering whats happening and then its all normal. When you walk into the fog if you stay too long you die, no save functions PERIOD... You have this red crapppy looking blood on the screen that you cant get off no matter what you do. If you do buy this game, stay out of the fog, avoid creatures and save money DO NOT BUY AT THIS TIME EVEN IF ON SALE>

Boriskarloff pretty much nailed it on the head. No save feature so you have to beat the game in one playthrough without dying. 1/10

it doen't make any sense at first but I go the hands of it.
