Creepshow

While the artwork, voice acting and overall aesthetic of the game was very good, the gameplay itself was just 'meh'. The stories themselves (only two) were droll and in some places, tedious to get through. I rather enjoyed the puzzles in the second chapter, as they presented more of a challenge and left me feeling accomplished after solving them. Chapter 3 was a complete joke. Instead of calling it Chapter 3, it should have been labeled as the Epilogue (then I wouldn't have been expecting to play through another comic book story). The ending was quite confusing , abrupt, and had me drowning in a well of disappointment.

Even ignoring the modern trappings that this game has in it, this game simply just isn't worth your time. There's absolutely no substance for the price point and what's on offer is mostly poorly written. The only thing it absolutely nails is the art style the series is known for. Personally I find this sad, because I really miss horror anthologies like this series and Tales From the Crypt. I bought this after having only watched Creepshow 1 & 2 from the 80s, and seeing this game pop up actually surprised me that Shudder/AMC revived the series a little while ago, which had me hyped as hell for this game. While I'm still interested in the newer TV series, this game utterly disappointed me and may even be the last game I buy from DreadXP and/or only game from PHL Collective.

Dieses Spiel hat so Spass gemacht, ich war seit langer Zeit wieder so richtig traurig das ein Spiel zu Ende ist. Ich bitte Euch inständig um DLC's, bitte bitte :-) Vielen Dank für das tolle Spiel!!!

Overall Rating: 8/10 - Very fun game that feeds off the fun comic book style Creepshow is known for. The stories are very well done and unexpected, and I genuinely love the gameplay style and graphics. I will say I was hoping for a more "finished" story on release, but it does seem the game is geared well to lead to more dlcs and stories to be added in the future, which is what im hoping for. Overall, do recommend.

Pros: - Art of comics and menu/UI is fantastic - Music - Voice acting - Liked the camp of the 1st episode with the *SPOILERS* bug wife and "kissing" her. Cons: - Chapters seems filled with fluff where either a task/game is repeated or you're walking around doing nothing - If opening my game and clicking off on something else, the game will refuse to finish loading to the menu and Task Manager can't even remove it so I have to restart my computer. - You can see through some walls in some areas. - Items that are picked up will reappear even though they're already in your inventory or notes. - You can pick up the same item or note several times. - Some puzzles make no sense or are really convoluted (mostly in the 2 chapter with the lock shed/back building and the confession puzzle). - 2nd chapter included some tasteless story beats including *SPOILERS* a dog being killed although you don't see it, but you do have to move its limp body into a grave and bury it AND they insinuate a woman and her unborn child are to be sacrificed somehow at the very end but we don't understand why really. - Some areas that should have invisible walls to prevent you from going to them earlier on don't (primarily in the 2nd chapter) so you waste a ton of time walking and exploring for literally no reason. - Walking animations of priest don't make sense for a person walking with a cane. - Ending seemed abrupt for 2nd chapter and also the game as a whole. Overall Opinion: With more love and effort, this COULD have been something, but instead they put out a seemingly unfinished product. This game needs a LOT more polish and editing in order to improve it. Would have made more sense to maybe go Early Access and then with fixing things along the way could have added new chapters later, but after this being my first impression... I will not be coming back to this anytime I don't think. :(

The concept and the art style have a lot to offer but I have to be honest this game fell on its face a bit. The puzzles were irritating for all the wrong reasons, the stories/characters weren't very well written. I won't spoil anything but the ending left a lot to be desired. TO the developers you have a cool concept please do something with it and don't be afraid to ruffle feathers, don't make bland characters and short sighted stories.

J'adore l'expérience !! Le jeu a ses défauts, mais j'espère vraiment qu'ils continueront à nous proposer de nouvelles expériences, de plus en plus qualitatives, parce que je suis un gros fan et j'en veux encore plus. Pour moi, c'est beaucoup trop court ! J'espère d'ailleurs qu'ils ont prévu de continuer, parce que le jeu n'a pas vraiment de fin en soi. Sinon, je recommande chaudement aux fans de Creepshow ! Encourageons ces petites initiatives qui mettent du baume au cœur et des mandibules dans la bouche ! PS : D'ailleurs, les critiques qui disent que le jeu s'inspire du film et de la série télé se trompent. Oui, il peut sembler y avoir une influence de la série télé puisque la série elle-même s'inspire des comics Creepshow, mais le jeu, tout comme la série, s'inspire avant tout des comics. Ne vous méprenez pas : ce n'est pas parce que Shudder participe au projet que le jeu est inspiré de la série télé, ils sont la pour la licence. Et encore moins du film de Stephen King et George A. Romero. N'allez surtout pas découvrir ce jeu avec cette attente, sinon vous risquez d'être déçus. Je tiens aussi à rappeler qu'il s'agit d'un jeu indépendant à petit budget, produit par DreadXP. Le budget du jeu reste donc assez modeste : ils ont fait avec les moyens qu'ils avaient et ont probablement voulu garder une fin ouverte afin de pouvoir continuer l'expérience si le titre fonctionne bien. Donc, faites-vous votre propre avis et, surtout, informez-vous correctement avant de dire n'importe quoi comme ces gens impatients qui ne prennent même pas la peine de compléter le titre. 😅
