Monstrum, the feeling of early horror Monstrum is a product of its time, coming from an era when horror games focused on hiding from terrifying monsters and trying not to be seen. The core gameplay is definitely enjoyable, but it has its flaws. There are extreme frame drops, especially when encountering the Brute, along with various bugs and an overall sense of jankiness. That said, considering it was released in 2015, it still holds up surprisingly well. It's a must play for anyone looking to recapture the atmosphere of early 2010s horror games like Amnesia and similar titles.

So, i was introduced to this game from Markiplier's youtube video many years back. I suddenly remembered this game one day, and decided to play for myself. The premise of Monstrum is that you wake up without any knowledge of where you are. The story of the game is told via lost notes and its environment. The task is simply to escape the desolate cargo ship while being hunted down by a monster. The game is randomly generated in terms of where certain key items may be, and allows you multiple escape routes. Personally the game shines in randomly choosing one of the three monsters you end up facing. Each threat has its own strengths and weaknesses, and requires a different approach. After 100% this game, i can confidently say this makes for a solid horror game. I recommend you give it a spin

I can play this game again and again and again and again, and it never bores me (the escapes always make my heart pound, still, too). Everything about this is beautifully done. Yes, it has its jank and its graphics aren't exactly breathtaking, but it's an 11 year old indie game--cut it a little slack. Besides, neither, in my experience, have subtracted much from any of my playthroughs. The game still has amazing atmosphere, and any of the ridiculous bugs you might see in the negative reviews are unlikely to happen to you, especially if you play the game normally. Back to the atmosphere--it really feels like you're on a derelict cargo ship. Each area--the crew quarters, bridge, deck 5 exterior, engine room, cargo hold, and lower decks--have their own unique personalities, and so do each of the three random monsters. The map is, as you might have read already, randomly generated, but this doesn't hinder your ability to navigate, as many locations are static. You get the best of both worlds of random generation and a fixed map. This, combined with the random loot and the random monsters and three escape routes, gives great replay value. Doing each escape with each monster gets you nine playthroughs. If you're a fan of survival horror and roguelikes, you COULD NOT find a better game for you.
