Gone Gonzo Posts: 2885 Joined: 11 Mar 2009 | I like the game, but oddly I didn't find it all that scary. It seems to me that if you're in control of your Sanity level, then the whole Insanity thing loses its effect. |

Spoonyies site, second one from the top. He's a good reviewer, those aren't his best so check around the achieves if you want to look at some better ones. |

While most of the puzzles were interesting and clever there were a few that felt a bit arbitrary and there were a few fetch quests to boot. On some occasions the puzzles felt a little bit too simple (namely where a symbol appear on the wall and you've got to cast a spell that's the same alignment/colour) and on other occasions they were a bit too vague or unclear (I'm still stuck on the Monestary level for this very reason). The insanity meter was interesting and shocking at first but after a while my bursts of insanity became readable and predictable to the point where I found myself laughing when weird shit happened rather than feeling uneasy (this in turn can kill the tension which is ultimately important to a horror game and is a shame considering the great effort that went into the H.P.Lovecraft-esc atmosphere and mood of the game). I guess a sequel could be good but I get the feeling that it make the same mistake that most sequals make and sacrifice some of it's good aspects to counter the weaknesses of the first game. |
