I don't leave too many reviews but I had to for this one. Incredibly impressed by the game, can't believe it was done by a solo developer. Amazing work! This was so much better than the first game too (despite it also being excellent), and Cosmic Fear seemed to be just as large of a step forward. I initially found this series/developer when watching a friend play through Cosmic Fear and it looked so good that I went and got the first two of Alessandro's games. He just gets better and better, can't wait for his next project. The Land of Pain had a bit too many enemy/chase areas for my taste, I'll deal with 'em but I usually play these type of games for the story/lore/environment. But I was pleasantly surprised to see enemy areas greatly toned down for The Alien Cube. Overall I think the whole series is excellent, especially so for a solo dev. Can't wait to see what he does next!
THE ALIEN CUBE Sequel to the interesting "THE LAND OF PAIN" and again, developed by Alessandro Guzzo, this game is more to my liking and the mysterious adventure was better made as well. The Lovecraftian story was quite good and it do follows the first game loosely but has many connections to it. The mystery of exploration as the story unfolds is what this game is all about. What the hell is going on? Who are you? Who are you, here? Where are you? There are a few short chase sequence that are MUCH improved from the first game's annoying and irritating shadow entity that chases you around and doesn't let go! Here, you just gotta run and keep running in the scripted direction and you'll be fine. The visuals are very good! The sounds and music does the job quite well too. Our protogonist have a voice actor this time and it is fine. Gameplay is mostly a walking simulator at times but you have to do many interactions with certain items, in order to progress the story. Contrary to the first game, in TAC, you do have some items to find in order to progress but it is WAY WAY less tedious than Land of Pain. The "puzzles" are minimal in this sequel and I found them fine! I did encountered one bug on chapter 7, where you have to unlock a door then it is supposed to open itself. Even by dying in repeat, the door kept staying shut. I had to quit the game and reload the last save and it was working. Beside this strange bug, everything else was fine. The game supports perfectly Ultrawide monitor, so that is a huge pro in my book! OVERALL & RECOMMENDATION: A better experience than "THE LAND OF PAIN", the first game of the trilogy. I enjoyed this Lovecraftian game more and the irritants were minimal. The story, visual, audio, gameplay... everything is better in this game than TLOP. There is a demo for TAC so give this a shot while at it! If you want the better experience, get TLOP and play TAC afterwards! Now, moving on to the The Alien Cube sequel, Cosmic Fear.
