Review Trost 4/5 · Jan 21, 2023

(VR) Yet another survival horror that starts great, but turns into action in the final chapters.

This game is 4/5. I wish I could pretend that the final 30% of the game never happened.

It starts off amazing, gave me RE4/TEW vibes, but in VR.

This game is 4/5. I wish I could pretend that the final 30% of the game never happened.

It starts off amazing, gave me RE4/TEW vibes, but in VR.
I really liked the visual style and the gameplay. I wish it kept going like that. You have limited weapons, but the enemies also don't flood you, so you can carefully plan each fight.

But the last 30% of the game were so different, frustrating and chaotic!

In the final chapters, they ramp up the amount of enemies you face and their tankiness. And, for some reason, they suddenly start setting checkpoints further apart.

And so it becomes tedious, as your very limited inventory capacity is not well suited for that kind of action. So that's one tough difficulty spike in the end.

I kinda liked the gimmick of the final boss though. (it mirrors your hand movements, so you can squish enemies by "puppeteering" the big hands of the boss monster.)

Overall, the first 75% of the game are great. I wish I wasn't such a completionist and didn't push myself to complete those final levels, so I could only have good memories about this game, without the bitter aftertaste of the final levels.
