necromorph go boom - isack clerk

An absolute masterpiece of survival horror, got consistently ♥♥♥♥ scared from beginning to end and loved every minute of it. I loved how the original pretext that sets the story off is that you have to come to the Ishimura to do repairs, cause BOY do you do some repairs, Isaacs justifies his engineering degree a thousand times over, every single chapter will have you fixing something that went wrong in the ship and it all let’s itself wonderfully to the classic horror gameplay loop of go here and grab this think to take it to another so you can slowly progress through the place. Unlike many of its peers, this game has very little to with regards to puzzles that aren’t obvious at first glance and I say that plays perfectly to it strengths as it strongest when you don’t have a moment to breath, constantly giving you new set pieces where at least one necromorph pops up and starts charging at you at breakneck speed. The way the UI of this game works is nothing short of a work of art, EVERYTHING is diegetic and I love it, you don’t get a single HUD element that isn’t an actual part of the game world and yet you’re never at loss of information, this on it’s own is great of course but it’s specially effective here as there are no distractions that take away from the atmosphere the game builds. The one aspect I felt short in for me is in the weapon variety, I was using at least 4 weapons so I could fill out every slot, but as you continue experimenting it becomes painfully obvious that the game peaked immediately with the plasma cutter, which led to the moments that I did use other weapons to be because I was making a point to use one I haven’t used in a while or because I already run out of cutter ammo, which itself only happen because I wanted to be stock with all types of ammo if I wanted to do a Cutter only run it would be impossible to run out as the ammo for it is dirt cheap. Granted it’s still great fun cutting everybody’s limbs up with the cutter, but it’s just a bit sad that despite the other weapons having cool uses, the gameplay demands efficacy and quick reaction on you end up using your most useful weapon 90% of the time. Fair warning, I played through the entire Resident Evil Franchise and only 7 had me nearly as jumpy as this game had me, specially early on. So, I wouldn’t exactly recommend this as your baby’s first survival horror, but if you think you can handle the horror, you have yourself a treat right here.

Es un buen juego

One of the best. A classic.
