Cosmic Fear

If you enjoy cosmic horror, Lovecraft, etc. you will probably enjoy this game. Is it a walking sim? Yeah, mostly, but with just enough other stuff going on to keep it interesting. I'm buying the developers other games right now. It pretty amazing that this was created by one guy. The vibe is excellent. Even got me with a couple minor jump scares, which almost never happens. Thumbs up from me. $17 well spent. Looking forward to seeing more from Alessandro Guzzo.

[h1]COSMIC FEAR[/h1] Sequel to "THE ALIEN CUBE" which is that one follows the interesting "THE LAND OF PAIN" and again, developed by Alessandro Guzzo, CF is more to my liking and the best of the 3 games yet. It is more mysterious and the adventure do last longer. Maybe too long? At times, there was a few instances that I was wondering where to go or what to find in order to progress the game. These instances were kind of annoying but the biggest irritant would be the many back and forth you gotta do for objectives. It increases boring padding! The Lovecraftian story was the BEST of dev's previous games and it do follows both of the other games with many connections to it. The mystery of exploration as the story unfolds is what this game is all about. What the hell is going on? Who the hell are you this time? Who are you, here? Where are you? Many questions with a few answers! Like previous games, there are a few short chase sequences that I found very annoying and impossible to outrun the entity. You just had to be lucky and have it spawned in the complete opposite area than you, then you just hold W and SHIFT till you get past it. (I wish you had a run toggle for this game). The visuals are very good! It is the strongest aspect of all games by this dev. The sounds and music does the job quite well too but again, much better than previous games. Our protagonist have a voice actor (just like TAC) and it is fine. Gameplay is mostly a walking simulator at times but you have to do many interactions with certain items, in order to progress the story. If you found many secrets in your first playthrough, there is an area near the very end that you can unlock a door and get some kind of a good reward? I haven't found that but from what I've read, it seems underwhelming so I don't think having a secondary playthrough is that needed. I haven't encountered bugs nor technical issue in Cosmic Fear. The game supports perfectly Ultrawide monitor, so that is a huge pro in my book! [h1]OVERALL & RECOMMENDATION:[/h1] In my opinion, it is the best experience so far compared to "The Land of Pain" and "The Alien Cube". Cosmic Fear is truly the best of the trilogy. While the previous ones were enjoyable, Cosmic Fear upped the goods further. It's clearly not perfect and I did find the alien chases annoying and especially the required padding to progress the objectives and story. Just like The Alien Cube, there is a demo for Cosmic Fear so give this a shot! I would recommend you play previous games in order to have a better understanding of the trilogy but you can always watch some story/lore video out there! [i]To the dev, keep making games! They're getting better and better![/i]
