Beyond Hanwell

creepy and good reminded me Alot of Condemned: Criminal Origins

AMAZING!!

Gets boring

I can't speak for everyone but I personally felt a level of buyer's remorse with this game as the demo is very well done and focused as an experience which casts this game in a favorable light, it builds tension nicely with nice visuals, I felt genuine anticipation when I finished the demo but the full game just doesn't have the same level of attention to details and isn't really the same type of game. It is okay as it is but I don't know if its worth 25$ as it is and it does feel somewhat disingenuous how different an experience is portrayed in the demo

Spoopy: 3/10 Overall: 4/10 Good: * Side Areas were really good. * Boss fights were okay when they worked. * "Open World" was a neat concept. Bad: * Combat was very janky and buggy. Often monsters would ragdoll into the air after you killed them. Making the combat more hilarious than scary. * Atmosphere was okay but empty. Especially on the "open world" map. * Game didn't know what it wanted to be. Had different features but weren't hashed out well (ie: Inventory system). * Lack of tutorials for things like the inventory system. * Not enough monster variety which made it more repetitive than scary. * A lot of Monsters and Boss fights got bugged. * Story was confusing, could of been explained better. Buy On Sale where it is at least 80% off.

Beyond Hanwell is a great game with a great atmosphere and fantastic graphics. could make items more necessary, I found that I never used any. never used batteries maybe like 2 medikits the whole game, the one item i used the most was the glow stick. I found my self looking forward to what the next location had in store, which made this game fun. a perfect 7/10 game... not quite triple A but sometimes that is a good thing. I can't wait to see what future Hanwell games come out... consider me a fan.

Yet again there needs to be a "meh" rating, or something in between thumbs up and down. Beyond Hanwell was a beautiful game and the mechanics of it worked well enough. There really isn't anything "scary" about it beyond some minor body horror elements represented by the enemies, and the occasional odd, unearned jump-scare. There really isn't a lot that makes this game stand out in my opinion. Combat is "meh". Enemies aren't particularly scary or unique. There isn't really much horror. If it cost more I would have given it a big thumbs down, but being it's as cheap as it is I figure it earned a thumbs up.

Really solid game with a dark and tense atmosphere, good enemy design, interesting side content, and a banger OST. My favorite sections of the game were the initial sequence of the game, the hospital, New Lyceum Theater, Scotland Yard, and The Duke of Westminster. My only complaints have to do with the enemy AI sometimes getting stuck behind walls, combat feeling a bit clunky, lack of extra firearms (you only get 2), some bossfights feeling repetitive or not challenging at all, and performance issues. Like most UE 5 games, it suffers from optimization issues that make the game run terrible in some areas, more specifically, the open world map, reaching only 30-40 fps on my PC with FSR, the road to the ARC, and the final sequence in the campaign which goes lower than 15 FPS even with FSR enabled. Had to lower my settings and look at the floor to finish the game, indoor areas don't suffer as much from these issues. Aside from what I said before, the game is worth it, especially if it's on sale, and I can't wait to see how the devs will continue to expand the world of this game in the future.

Decent. I didn't realize it was a sequel when I started playing so I'll have to give the first game a playthrough. The Good: Atmospheric -London feels properly dank and misty, the interiors of each location are properly unnerving in places and make you want to explore more. Pacing -The contained locations combined with a small open world leave it feeling much tighter than many games feel now with giant sandboxes and collectibles. A solid game to pick up and play for a weekend without worrying too much about missing something. Combat - Combat at various levels feels solid with the difficulty ratcheting up as you progress in a way that never really feels unfair. Preparation and conserving resources goes a long way to making fights easier. Vibes- This game feels very much like a love letter to survival horror games that came before it. Without going into too much detail that might spoil the plot you can see the influence of games like Half-Life, Prey, Bioshock, and Five Nights at Freddy's. Some in gameplay, all in presentation. The Bad: Movement - Unless you're running full speed you are crawling through the streets of London at a snails pace, and running itself greatly reduces the accuracy of your movements. Variety - Aside from enemies that appear in story required missions there's not a lot of variety in the enemies you face. Once you learn the right tool for the job, there isn't a ton of memorable combat moments even after just finishing the game at the time of this review. Overall: There's plenty to enjoy about Beyond Hanwell, but there's many other games that have done the same thing but better. If you like the games I referenced above, you'll have a good time with this one and its not costing you the $70 dollar price tag AAA publishers are trying to push, even at full price. Overall, I'd recommend the title for a good quick weekend game that doesn't hurt the wallet.

I really liked this game I can't lie about that but I'm pretty sure this game has been abandoned because I believe there used to be a post about an expansion that was just randomly deleted. The last update was also about 2 years ago so I wouldn't play this expecting more.
