  • replayability
    364 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Game gets boring after a few playthroughs; there is not a lot of replayability.”
    • “After 2-3 hours, my buddies and I saw everything, every map and every monster, adding this to the fact that the gameplay is a copy-pasted version of Lethal Company; there's just no replayability value.”

Granted, it's well done to be spooky, but when you are trying to listen in on enemy locations, which is already hard to do, suddenly 'chase music' turns on and you are on high alert for the chase but nothing is happening. It breaks the moment many times and becomes confusing and eventually annoying.”

    • “The game is incredibly well optimized, most of our group runs on gaming laptops and they didn't have any performance issues.”

    • “Such a refreshing game compared to the artificial intelligence slop these big companies have been releasing for $80 nowadays that aim to dry your pockets with microtransactions.”
    • “You know, they did a lot of things right with this game... they clearly focused on what matters to the user experience with this game—no lavish world textures (makes the game run smooth), no microtransactions on release (shows me how much they care about users), great fluid game mechanics that are easy to learn and understand, great story and concept, extremely immersive... what more could you ask for?”
    • “Feels more like a quick cash grab than something built to last.”
    • “It is a stark indicator of the new mindset of game devs that they can milk the community for money by latching onto a popular format, charging a low amount of upfront cost, then releasing a jank product for an immediate cash grab.”
    • “This game is really fun and very obviously is a labor of love by the developers, but I ignored it at first purely because the banner art and key art makes it look like a cheap, cynical cash grab.”
