Primal Fears

In an effort to work through my Steam library, I'm trying to play each game for 30-60 minutes and then provide a review. Here's my review for Primal Fears: - It's very dated in just about every way. Visuals, AI, gameplay, environment, etc. - Misleading utility of weapons. Turrets are MUCH more expensive than frag grenades in this game, but grenades proved by far more useful. Same applies to the default AR versus other expensive weapons. - You have to hold the use key for like 8 seconds on certain actions for no reason, such as opening a door you have a set of keys too. - I'm kinda certain they got their "Turn camera left/right" controls backwards? Although I may be misunderstanding what they mean All in all, it's not a BAD game per se, but I can't recommend paying $4 (or $10 without a sale, wew), when there are flash games I've enjoyed more for free.

[h1]60/100[/h1] Primal Fears is basically a sequel to Dead Horde. Unlike Dead Horde which was abysmal, this one is kinda good. Don't expect anything amazing, it's still a budget indie title, but Primal Fears improves on Dead Horde in every way. Gameplay is pretty standard. You select a level and kill [strike]zombies[/strike] mutants until you reach the end. This time around the maps feel organic instead of being a single path to follow. In Dead Horde the only form of objective in a level was to fight a horde until a gate opens up. This game kept those moments but also added parts where you have to find a key or bomb to open up the path. It's not much but at least that has you exploring the level. There's a little more diversity in enemies now and they're all far less bullet spongey. The weapons all feel functional, but R.I.P the powerhouse shotgun from the first game. The gatling gun still takes way too long to start shooting, but the enemies don't behave like homing missiles now and deal a lot less damage so you can afford to take a few hits while the barrel starts spinning. It's still nothing special and there's better games for the price, but it seems like the devs put a lot more effort in this game than their previous one which is always good to see.

Entertaining run&gun, autopilot fun.

14/20 La suite de Dead Horde, avec plus de contenu, jeu très simple à prendre en main. A faire avec un pote.

After playing through the entire story campaign of Primal Fears I feel ready to give my ultimate opinion on it. Primal Fears is an unpolished Top-Down Shooter game that becomes very repetitive and frustrating at times. From enemies that go through walls, the lackluster pick in weaponry, and the clunky camera controls made me realize that there are better games that do what this game does without such a headache. Primal Fears however does get some things right such as the beautiful lighting, the interesting set pieces you have to fight your way through, and the upgrade systems that are permanent across different levels and modes. Overall, if you do ultimately wish to get this game I would recommend getting it on a sale since the Online Mode is pretty much dead and you'd need friends who also have the game to experience that part of it. Or better yet just avoid this game with its dated mechanics and go for a more polished game that does what it does better.

When I bought this game it fried my motherboard on my laptop in 2014. The game was playing normal, until I heard the fan speed up really high, and then the laptop just died. Sadly, I won't be recommending this game.

Te digo una cosa; qué pereza de juego. El control de la cámara es tosco y desagradable. Jugabilidad aburrida.
