I tentatively recommend this game. This game has a lot of good to offer, but there are annoying things too. Things I like: - It's an extraction-game. Get in, get the stuff, and get out; before the forest wakes-up and decides to turn you into fertilizer. - The aesthetics of this game are exemplary. Graphics and sound-design are above the standard for a modern-day game. It is absolutely gorgeous. - The ambience is incredible. It's eerie, haunting, unsettling, and altogether demented. - I can take my time and really soak-up all the effort the designers put into this game. - Sanity, Isolation, Blood-Moon, and other game-mechanics don't have a gauge or progress-bar to keep the player informed. You, as a player, have to be smart enough to realize that if Carlito the Ox is no longer pulling the ox-cart, and instead there is some eldritch-horror pulling the cart, that you might just be going insane. - In-game chat is proximity-based, so if you get too far away from your team, they'll no longer be able to hear you... which means nobody is coming to help when the forest decides to take a "special interest" in you. - I like the fact that every character is the same in terms of speed, strength, endurance, etc. It reminds me a bit of 'Left 4 Dead' where it didn't matter who you were playing as. You end up picking your favorite based on their look instead of their stats. Things I DON'T like: - Any game-controlled allies are frustratingly unhelpful. Most missions include an ox-cart as a mobile inventory-depot, player resurrection, psychological stabilizer, etc. Is the ox-cart going to be where you need it? Of course not. The priest driving the cart is off exploring Narnia as you're desperately trying to stave-off blood-loss, because some cyclopean-terror ripped you a new one and you need a bandage to stop the bleeding (and the bandages are in the cart). If playing single-player, your assistant is just as worthless. The bark of a tree is peeling-off and starting to fight you, and he's carrying an armful of firewood back to the ox-cart (that's half a time-zone away). - Difficulty and progression are very erratic. You can be clear-cutting your way through the jungle on Legendary treasure-missions, then you take-on a Basic portal-mission and the jungle decides to wear you like a condom to get a lot more difficult. - I should NOT have to examine EVERY DAMN ARTIFACT that I pick up. It was nice the first time, but all following times are just preventing me from proceeding at my own pace. Things I understand, but get frustrated with: - There is the occasional graphical or audio glitch. The really-cool proximity-chat is only good if you aren't transmitting garbled static. This is NOT a game-feature where your audio-chat starts getting weird when you are psychologically compromised, it's just a bug that will be fixed in-time. It's already a rare occurrence since the developer continues to release updates every two-weeks. - There were game-mechanics that were removed from the game. There are remnants of those game-mechanics that are still in the game. These remnants should have been repurposed, or removed. Right now they just feel like confusing dead-weight. I hope the developer has future-plans for them (which would explain their continued presence). - Madness effects are really cool the first time you see them, not so much the 25th time you see them. I understand that it takes resources to program and code new effects, so that's why it's in this section instead of "things I don't like". Conclusion If you are a spastic, modern-duty-apex-ring slop-player, who needs a constant flow of adrenaline to keep from falling asleep, you will NOT like this game. But if you're looking for a game that you can immerse yourself in, like a hot-bath of foreboding, you are exactly who this game is talking to (can you hear it whispering?). Overall, I've been enjoying myself quite a bit playing this game. I think it would've been better as an "Early Release" though, until they iron-out all the kinks. I am NOT upset with my purchase, and hope the developer continues to keep releasing updates every two weeks. Hopefully, I'll see you in the jungle... (I'll be the one with the glowing eyes)
If you have friends to play with, it's totally worth it. At first, you don't really know what to do, but it's fun to figure it out little by little while you insult your friend who is actually an AI pretending to be them and trying to kill you, because your real friend died in the jungle 5 minutes ago. I have 10 hours of playtime and still have a lot of things to do. They've been adding patches with new mechanics, like being able to defend yourself, which people asked for. So, at least the devs are reading the reviews.
I'm gonna give a cautionary thumbs up for this game. Pros: -Phenomenal atmosphere -Some of the best graphics/lighting I have ever seen in a game -Sound design will make your skin crawl -Co-op is great -Each mission feels pretty different than the next depending on how you approach it Cons: -The timer is WAY too punishing. The forest waking up as you make noise should be more than enough to build tension, but the fact that every mission devolves into a mad dash just to beat the clock makes every run feel stressful in all of the wrong ways. -Matchmaking is awful -Combat feels a bit janky -Weapons breaking feels way out of place for what this game should be. If I'm not going to get a lot of ammo, I shouldn't have to worry about my only other weapon's durability. -Movement feels off...not sure how to say it, but it just feels weird to navigate. Especially without a dodge or jump. If this game released as an early access title, none of these complaints would be here. As a full release, unfortunately, this game just doesn't feel up to standards. That being said, I love it. I played a lot of the demo and plan on playing a lot more going forward. Depending on how the devs treat the feedback going forward is going to determine the fate of this game. I understand every dev team has a vision, but there's also a factor of accessibility that goes into a game's fun factor. It doesn't need to be easy, however, it feels like you get punished for literally every choice you make. I am very familiar with the lore of Lovecraft and understand how messed up his world is. But this is also a game and there needs to be some give and take with punishment.
Matchlock pistol misfired 3 times while trying to shoot a t-posing tree demon, thought I was firing an arquebus only to be informed by my friends that is was a large stick, and was possessed by vines and forced to watch in horror as I stabbed my teammates to death. All this over the course of 2 hours. This game deserves your time for doing something fascinating and different where it would have been easy to make money off of "Cthulhu Friendslop," and for having the artistic integrity to present a vision of shared horror that doesn't pull punches in the name of balance and accessibility. It's obtuse, it's difficult, it's weirdly optimized. We lost as many runs as we won on the "introductory" missions, and I cannot wait to go back for more.
