The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation

I will preface by saying that this unusually low review score does not necessarily indicate quality of this game relative to its contemporaries. Maybe it has a great story and interesting lore. But I'll never see it.

This is exactly the same game that devs have been releasing for a good 15 years now. Scary monsters see a pixel of your character model, chase you around, and then the streamer bait jump scare happens. They can track your path of travel, they're faster than you, and you have to play grandmother's footsteps and avoid the spooky monsters exactly the way the developer wants.

And I'm sick of it.

These games are stupid, lazy, damn near identical, not fun, and a waste of everyone's time. Jump scares can work, pursuit mechanics can work... But if that's all you got, you don't have a horror game - you have a glorified version of schoolyard tag with a CPU on crack.

I'm tired of this same game, I'm sick to fucking death of the sort of vapid dweebs screaming at their monitors for haha funni content generation - Markiplier can drive his Lamborghini straight into a lake - and I'm tired of games like these selling themselves as something other than amateurly made streamer bait and me wasting my money on them thinking they MIGHT actually do something new and interesting.

1 out of 5 stars, do not buy. Unless it's my copy on eBay. So I can buy Mario Wonder instead.
