Hollow body is a solid survival horror game, with some interesting resource management decisions to make and an exceptional atmosphere. While it has a couple of rough spots, I do recommend it! It's fun, it's snappy, it's sweet. Pros of Hollow Body: - The inspiration clearly leans a bit more Silent Hill, aesthetically. You can tell, with the way this game depicts decay and rot. Extremely Silent Hill. - This game has excellent intentional camera angles. - Frankly, with how good those camera angles are, tank controls should be the default control scheme (that said, if you play tank controls, you should switch "run" and "reload." It's more comfortable to hold square to run than it is L1. L1 works for stick movement, but feels clunky on the control pad). - The monsters are interesting. Their behavior promotes using mixed melee and ranged combat, and a quick swap function (discussed lower) helps this gameplay style feel smooth. - This game uses fixed item placement rather than adaptive item placement, meaning your resources are defined from the start of the game. The game won't hold your hand, and poor play may force you to return to an earlier save, or even restart entirely. - There's one weapon that gives you its entire ammunition supply for the entire game the moment you pick it up. Extremely cool decision! Completely Neutral Points: - There's an interesting quick access menu that lets you hot swap between your melee and ranged weapons. It also has map access on it. - You can swap to a free-floating, third person camera perspective at any time, and also turn off tank controls and have your movement be camera relative. I think it's a worse way to experience the game for your first time, but it's cool on a second playthrough. Being able to really take in the detail with a more controlled camera is neat. - The ending you get is decided about 1/4 the way through the game, depending on if you're able to talk someone away from a ledge. It's an odd place for something as important as an ending change, but it's fine. The game is short enough you can just save before talking to that NPC and try different combinations before chasing the ending. Cons of Hollow Body: - The game clearly expects you to use control stick movement. There are a couple of inputs mapped to L3, which include quickly setting the camera behind you during the free-camera sections, and then a "look behind you" function for the final segment of the game. Tank controls feel worse on control sticks, where you're more likely to wobble back and forth between left and right. - Quick turn access is pretty bad. It's attached to the same quick menu that the weapons and map are on, and there's a notable delay for that menu to appear. It's typically faster to just use the rather swift rotation to spin around. - The fixed camera angles bug out sometimes, leaving you either accept an inferior player-controlled camera experience, or to navigate blindly. This can be a major issue during combat, and I did die during one combat segment due to this. - Randomised puzzles. I think if the solution to your puzzle can be randomised, it isn't a very interesting puzzle in the first place. - On the topic of puzzles, that's the one spot Hollowbody borrows more from Resident Evil in. You flip switches until a dial is in the right place and memorise names from a list. It's little surprise they were able to randomise the solutions to one of those puzzles. - There are very few save points. Once you approach the end, you'll find yourself relying on the autosave more than manual saves. - The second melee weapon in the game is nigh-unusable. I think half of the healing items I used were from me fumbling with that melee weapon. The first one is the only one you need. Again, though, it's a fun game. It's only a few hours long, it's got some teeth to its difficult and choices, and it's exceptionally atmospheric. It may have some little quibbles, but I think it's worth a play
This is the type of game where I wish there was more than just Up or Down. The game is decent in the environment and brings back that PS1 era horror gameplay, but the story is kind of weak and trying to find certain things is annoying. The amount of running back and forth puts Silent Hill to shame. I'm going to give it a thumbs up because there aren't many games of the "genre" for us to enjoy, I guess this will have to do. 6/10 If I'm basing it off a number system.
It's definitely creepy. I've a lot of nostalgia for the PS2 era horror games and Hollowbody absolutely scratches that itch. Story has me hooked as well, and I really like Mica. For now I can say it's better played with controller vice KBM. Will edit my review when I'm further in.
Art direction is really good, VA is really good, but the story really only gets to the interesting stuff towards the end - the world and writing feels kind of superficial until then, the relationship between Mica and Sasha is just... not very compelling. Gameplay is aight, I played it on KBM and there were some really annoying bugs, but it was perfectly aight survival horror. Anyways uhhh this is Lesbianthony Gamertano here, and I'm feeling a light 7 on this game.
