Look Outside

Look Outside is a great game with a lot of well thought out aspects. Unfortunately in order to progress the storyline and gain access to more areas than just the tutorial areas. You are placed in an ultimatum where you have to betray morals and throw a baby into a blender or sacrifice a limb and be barred from using half the aspects of physical combat in the game. Which battles are how you gain access to areas, obtain certain items and complete missions. So you'll have to go through the rest of the game either being limited to melee or range orrr satisfy the blender. Once limited in combat the range of your opponents makes no sense. Someone from across the room can attack you but your physical and ranged attacks are somehow too short of any opponent in the confined spaces of the apartment complex. I got bum rushed by a monster in a bathroom stall because my shotgun couldn't land any pellets?? On a guy in a bathroom stall??? After being placed in that ultimatum a lot of the games monsters aren't scary anymore since your character has already been through it and maybe morphing would just make them stronger or wiser to pour bleach or dump dynamite into the blender. Therefore the concept of using more amounts of time and more strategy development because you're punished for making a decent decision when you would've been rewarded with the full combat of the game if you were more psychotic is scarier. I can enjoy some of the souls-like aspects and circumstances but when this has happened so early on in the game, the only reason I want to finish it once is to get the most out of my money and pay respect to the talent of the team and their vision. Some more leeway or freedom would've made it perfect for me. I find this frustrating and I'm sure the next project will be even better and probably perfect.
