Labyrinthine

I have a soft spot for Labyrinthine. I originally found this game after Phasmophobia was getting stale a couple of years ago, and Labyrinthine scratched that fun, indie, horror itch. With Phasmophobia only getting worse, I've never seen a reason to go back, but I always come back to Labyrinthine. The story mode was decent and there's a good amount of content for 6 chapters. But for me, the best part of this game was multiplayer with friends, ESPECIALLY when you start creating your own case files in your lobby with a variety of monsters to screw with your friends. *Side note: you unlock monsters for custom cases by facing that specific monster a certain number of times in regular case files, the wiki tells you what maps can have what monsters.* With over 200 hours in this game, I've gotten to do just about everything and spent the last 100-150 hours trying to get all of the cosmetics (which is a nightmare to try if you want all the seasonal cosmetics too). Without a doubt, this is my favorite game to play with friends, even if all we can do now is search for cosmetics. This game has more than enough content to get you through at least your first 50 hours of playtime. The devs do plan to add more content to the game soon, which I'm very excited for and is my only major critique, given I've played the game too much to do much else besides cosmetics. If I had to offer any critiques or things I would say the game still needs (outside of more content to come soon), I'd like to see more upgrade options and tools or items or cosmetics to buy in the store, because the store is almost useless once you've played the game for a little while. The only other critique I'll make is about their cosmetics odds, ESPECIALLY their seasonal cosmetic odds. They feel a bit low, like 30% chance of getting a seasonal cosmetic from my play testing over the last year. I can't stand playing for a half hour to an hour and seeing sometimes as few as one seasonal cosmetic, which of course I probably already have and haven't gotten a new one after 4 days of playthrough. All base cosmetics in the game have a chance of appearing in a case file (even during seasonal events), even ones you already have (I swear if I get one more visor!..). I'd like to see seasonal cosmetic odds go up and lower the odds of repeat cosmetics showing up (or at the very least cosmetics that are repeats for the lobby leader so at least SOMEONE has a better chance of getting something new). It's a bit sad playing the game for a few hours and getting NOTHING new. But these are more minor, considering content is king, and there's PLENTY of it and more to come. I can't recommend this game enough for people who want a fun, indie horror game to goof off with friends!

9/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

For the price it's fun with friends, if you're not playing it for the story. It will get a little stale after a while.

Amazing game to play with friends. You get what you put into it, meaning its ten times better with friends. 10/10 made great memories on this game.

It's been a while since I had so much fun with friends. Worth it to spend some good time with your buddies

Just Don't

Für den Preis nicht schlecht. Gamplay lauft für mich wie folgt: Komme irgendwo hin und muss erkunden. Ich werfe konstant Leuchtstäbe auf den Boden um zu markieren das ich hier war. Ich finde dann (mehr durch Zufall) was ich brauche. Es gibt Monster die etwas spannung bringen bis man sie kennt. Dann hat es noch Puzzles die nicht sonderlich Anspruchsvoll sind. Die Apspannmusik ist sehr nice.

This game is a fun game to play thru with a friend in the middle of the night

the multiplayer is completely dead unfortunately.
