Painted In Blood

The game is good, but this will remain a thumbs down until I can save anywhere, at any time. Sorry, but I'm not playing on a PlayStation, so please, don't insult us PC players with this limited saving system bullsheet.

This was a good journey down the dark path of the protagonists scarred and tortured mind. A man overridden with regret, guilt, and more. The game is filled with passion of a dev who poured their heart and soul into making a decades long vision come true. combat feels nice and punchy. the weapons fit well with the time frame and the flow of the game. i enjoyed the larger design to the levels and the think outside the box approach to finding secrets. the graphics were more demanding than i expected but i set TSR to performance and that improved the frame rate a lot (even vs balanced) with out noticing any lag or much of any difference image quality wise vs off. Overall the game is well worth playing and shouldn't disappoint you.

Everything Cultic did right this game does wrong. You get a flashlight that stuns enemies, alcohol that slows time, spells that increase your damage, protect you, and yet it is still not enough to deal with basic enemies that strap a metalplate to their belly. The weapons are weak, and every shootout is not a deadly dance but an endurance sprint. Somehow, despite being only at three weapons, the encounter design is so wonky that you have full ammo drops for every weapon in bascially every room + healing item, yet the game must be balanced around healing at the very eagerly spread save points. Simply atrocious and more chore than fun to play. Which is unfortunate, cause the atmosphere and art direction are good. But that doesn't matter if you're after all that are also hit by enemies that are invisible poltergeists throwing stuff, enemies with shadow shields, that get removed with flashes, and enemies with voidshields, that also have to be removed with flashes. Too many ideas on too little bread, causing no shooting in here feels actually fun to do.

Painted In Blood plays more like a methodical survival horror, despite it initially appearing like a fast paced boomer shooter. It's quite moody and atmospheric, with a gorgeous combination of retro throwback graphics and modern lighting and effects. Even though it's in early access, it feels like a full featured, developed game.

В целом похожа на Cultic, но это скорее survival horror, нежели ретрошутер - нет той динамики, свободы передвижения и размаха уровней. Также в плане атмосферы игра, как ни странно, напоминает The Evil Within 2 - там был безумный фотограф-убийца, создававший "живые" картины, и мы периодически прогуливались вдоль его мрачных "произведений искусства", так что в сочетании с инфернальными противниками вайб весьма схожий. Вещь безусловно интересная и имеющая место быть, визуал и звук на высоте, ничего плохого не скажу, но геймплейно лично меня она от себя оттолкнула. Всему виной душащее сочетание медлительности главного героя, коридорности уровней, невидимости теневых врагов и обилия скучноватых записок при практически полном отсутствии музыки.

Это просто бомба... давно так не кайфовал от визуала

Lowest difficulty and the enemies are still bullet sponges and you arent given nearly enough ammo. not fun to play
