Alien Suppressed Aggression
Very eerie and atmospheric PS1 First Person Shooter with sweet level and sound design, but flawed and frustrating decisions by the developers ultimately plague this otherwise great looking and highly potential game. Can Argonaut bring it home, or are you doomed to forever frustratingly yell into empty space?

Movement and aiming is very stiff and holds the player back from fully experiencing the game. In ‘Resurrection’ your lack of agility is not cleverly a part of the survival horror experience - just annoying, dated and sluggish. As far as story goes it’s very shallow and forgettable, and progress often comes down to you having to find the correct key card for an area you have yet to unlock, aaand repeat.
Enemies spawn behind you and since it takes a full eon to turn around - that bit gets old fast. The good times are really good, and you can actually feel helpless and scared wandering around the space station looking for some scarce ammo or a medikit, as they were still called here. However, the bad times are really bad, and you will turn it off and abandon your playthrough many times before you actually have the heart to make it all the way to the end.
