Synthesis of Corruption

Lembra bastante Half-Life, só que com um foco maior no survival horror, porém as mecânicas e a estética são bem parecidas, além dos inimigos no geral. Para quem é fã da inspiração, acredito que vá gostar, mas eu esperava que, mesmo que a intenção fosse passar uma vibe mais retrô e talz, que eles pelo menos refinassem melhor a gameplay e não foi isso que rolou: passei muita raiva combatendo inimigos, principalmente com o machado, e também fiquei frequentemente preso nas fases. Pela minha experiência até o momento, não recomendo, mas pretendo jogar até o final para poder fazer uma resenha melhor mais para frente.

"We have Half-Life at home" doesnt do this game any justice. This game has been really fun to play through. Finding all the secret thingies wasnt too bad which is a massive plus since most games put at least 1 or 2 in completely out-there places so you are forced to replay the game. The beginnig where you had little to no ammo and were forced to melee nearly all enemies was pretty tough but as soon as ammo got plenty it almost got too easy so there is a little potential to make the experience just a tad more interesting. All in all really really cool game and for like.. 6 or 7 bucks on sale I cant complain at all. Campaign with all secrets took me about 4,5 - 5 Hours.

Fantastic game, I'm sure every half-life 1 fan would enjoy. It's a short and thrilling story in alternate universe of indie horror. It took me 3 hours to beat and it was great. I will make sure also to check other games from this dev! 8/10 - one point substracted for lack of polishing, another one for softlock where i couldn't jump out of the electronic shelves and was stuck just outside the first portal which cost me 20 minutes.

Great little game that wears its influences on its sleeve. Well worth the walk through just to experience a bit of nostalgia and great usage of retro graphics. Looking forward to the next opus in this series!

All art asks a question, and this game's question is "What if Half-Life really sucked ass? Mouth to rectum, just really sucking it in?" it's a bold approach, but some mysteries are best left unsolved.

Basically Half-Life if it was a full on survival horror game. Except it´s much shorter, and it´s equivalent of Xen doesn´t suck. Although if you´re going for that 100% completion, be ready to do a fair amount of cheesing.

There is no map and the hint system is underbaked. You will interact with a door and they will show with wallhacks where the key is and at what distance but the second you step away from the door the hint fade away so you will have to look all the nooks and cranis of the rooms at the distance they showed you just to find the items because the dev love hiding the sh*t you need. If you like watching Youtube just to progress you will love this game. They put a system where you can move stuff a bit like in REPO but you can't rotate what you are holding for some reason and it's complicating how you're supposed to climb some high areas a lot. Wasting time trying to angle a vent cover on a large box just to climb it is very unfun especially with how glitchy it can be. It is so funny also when it's clear a box is below chest height but you still can't climb it to force you into a sh*tty puzzle time. The zombies with pistols are so annoying because they are hitscan and shoot instantly without windup. You just kill them as fast as you can and pray they don't shoot too much because there's nothing you can do to dodge them. It's so sad because I really feel like it's a case of the developper not playing his game and with a little bit of tweaking this could have been a great experience but I was so annoyed I couldn't bother finishing it.

One of the better eurojank games with some good sound design and atmosphere! Pacing and movement are definitely more horror than Half-Life FPS though
