Cosmic Fear

If you love walking sims and Lovecraftian horror then this is the one for you. But the enemy chasing and insta kills don't feel necessary at all and would appreciate an option to turn that off.

Alessandro's best work yet. I couldn't put it down. The environmental visuals and ambience go beyond AAA status. The dread that builds up slowly, knowing something's about to happen. You brace for it thinking you're ready, and it still manages to surprise you. Walking sim with some fetch quests and exploration rewards. Journal notes help the story along. It helps if you've played the previous 2 games to tie it all together a bit more, but not at all necessary. This one stands on its own just fine. If you want a horror experience without all the cheap jump scares with over amped sounds, this is a must play.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Una auténtica joya para los amantes del terror cósmico Cosmic Fear me ha sorprendido muchísimo. Si te gusta el terror que juega con la investigación, la exploración, los misterios y esa sensación constante de que estás descubriendo algo que quizá habría sido mejor dejar enterrado… este juego merece muchísimo la pena. La ambientación es, sencillamente, fantástica. La oscuridad, los escenarios, la iluminación y el sonido consiguen crear una tensión constante sin necesidad de recurrir todo el tiempo a los sustos fáciles. Aquí el verdadero miedo está en lo que estás viendo, en lo que no entiendes y, sobre todo, en lo que sabes que puede estar esperándote. Me ha gustado especialmente cómo va construyendo su historia y ese componente de misterio que te empuja a seguir investigando. Poco a poco empiezas a comprender que detrás de todo hay algo mucho más grande y perturbador de lo que parecía al principio. Además, técnicamente me ha parecido espectacular. La recreación de los escenarios y la iluminación ayudan muchísimo a meterte en la experiencia, y el apartado sonoro hace un trabajo brutal creando tensión. Si ya conoces The Land of Pain y The Alien Cube, aquí vas a encontrar muchos elementos que hacen reconocible el trabajo de Alessandro Guzzo, pero Cosmic Fear se siente como una evolución muy interesante de esa fórmula. Y si nunca has jugado a los anteriores, tampoco creo que eso deba echarte atrás. Puedes entrar perfectamente en Cosmic Fear y dejar que el propio juego te vaya descubriendo su historia. Para mí, uno de esos juegos que consiguen que quieras seguir jugando incluso cuando una parte de ti te está diciendo: “quizá deberíamos dejar esto para mañana…” 😂 Muy recomendable si disfrutas del terror cósmico, la exploración, los misterios y las experiencias que consiguen ponerte realmente incómodo.

Absolutely great game! Graphics are great. The world is large and open with lots to explore and get into. It feels alive. The atmosphere is phenomenal! Voice acting and sound is top notch as well. The story is just fantastic. Puzzle solving is simple but enjoyable. I love how there is lore everywhere! Plenty of secrets to come upon too. The only complaint I have is the monster chasing you. Even on easy I found it could see me just about anywhere. Luckily I found a path to keep it from spawning. Otherwise I would have quit playing. Maybe have an option so it doesn't just kill you or so it can't see as well? I wish I could get this to run in UEVR. Others have but it just won't hook for me. Anyway, of all the good games this guy has made this one is the best in my opinion.

I played the demo a year ago and LOVED it...WTF happened? Genuinely love the idea, the visuals are gorgeous... BUT, I simply can't recommend this. It's a long old slog of a game that could have been cut down to 2 hours. I wanted to rip out my eyes and stuff them up my A** out of pure frustration. Zero direction whatsoever, no quest log, no map, no compass...Absolutely NOTHING to help you know where to go or what to do, so you end up going on HUGE wild goose chases. Then there's the sheer butt load of notes, there's so many by half way through the game you want to weep just seeing another note. There's also nothing to do either, a little combat? puzzles? ANYTHING? No, you just spend over 4 hours walking about reading and picking up the odd item. At one point you walk one LOOONG loop to fetch one thing to use where you first started. Aaaah!! Great idea, lovely visuals but fails at the most important parts of what makes games great.

Alessandro Guzzo is a master at creating Lovecraftian first-person exploration games - starting with The Land of Pain, followed by The Alien Cube, and finally Cosmic Fear. The set pieces are beautiful to look at and eerie at the same time. The sound design is similarly successful. The gameplay mostly consists of walking, some stealth, and some light puzzle solving. The performance could still be improved, but I had no problems with bugs or glitches. If you like Lovecraftian world-building, I can clearly recommend this trilogy. Story-wise, I liked the predecessors a tiny bit more, but that may also be a matter of taste.

Great game, very well made and optimized. runs well and big detailed maps to explore and experience. Good story.
