The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu

Be me get game on sale because friend got it and likes it/wants to play together buy game on sale friend goes on vacation for almost 2 weeks wait to play game friend gets back finally open the game for the first time proceed to be met by constant crashing via fatal error or the game freezing the moment it begins to load look up methods to fix follow 3 youtube videos, 2 reddit post, 3 steam threads, 5 google responses nothing works spent like 2 hours trying to get a game to work netting me a total of 17 minutes of playtime purely on a frozen screen Refunded

Its a little bare bones in the current state but the gameplay loop is fun and the challenge progression thus far is nice. Weapons all have their unique purpose. Hopping some new mission types and features get added. Maybe some longer expeditions and the ability to buy some better equipment than is provided from the same place you buy the tokens as you level up. (think for instance what if you could guarantee having a rapier in any mission at the cost of 15 coins per rapier. should not be available for flintlocks and maybe not even guns at all)

A great horror survival game. Really fun co op and still manageable with just 2 people. Most paranoid gameplay I have ever experienced.

Promising design but, as others have already noted, there are way too many QoL issues at launch including game crashes. Very confusing design to find friend's servers, no filtering, easy to find or join servers. Clunky gameplay. I may return to this in few months but for now, it is so bad I feel I should get a refund!

Honestly, this game has potential. I enjoy the idea of it. Not many Cthulhu-esque games set in the age of discovery are out there and this is scratching that itch pretty good in that respect. It's got a good spooky vibe of what can happen and it's fun with friends. My only gripe is that it is in need of some TLC with updates. Combat is a bit clunky and hard to get use to at first. Maybe a HUD that tells more than just your health bar, like a sanity meter or a compass to at least help you tell what direction you're facing unless that's just what the developers want since you can buy a map and some other things to assist you in missions. This could be a user end issue but my mic and my friend's mic's were very quiet to the point of barely hearing them, did try to mess with the settings and had little success and my microphone is normally pretty good and projecting and picking up my voice in other programs. The game is somewhat hard and I like the challenge but can't tell that's because of the clunkiness or the game itself as it is intended to be. Overall, I think this game is worth watching out for but, it does need some QoL and other updates to make it worth the price they are asking for when it's not on sale. Otherwise, I wait until it is on sale to snatch it up.

Вот я не понимаю какого ляда игроки хаят данную игру. До релиза была доступна дэмка - поиграй, попробуй, и не бери если для тебя геймплей "унылый". Так нет же - сути игры не поняли, взяли на волне всеобщего хайпа, и теперь говорят, что не понравился геймплей. Что тут скажешь? А ничего приличного и лицеприятного тут уже не скажешь. Далее про оптимизацию. Проблем с оптимизацией лично у меня не было. Зато были у людей с 4, 6, 8 гигами видеопамять. Алло! Минимальные системные требования глядим: 6 гигов. Естественно на 4, 6 будет всё лагать. Да и на 8 гигах будет лагать, если выставить максимальные настройки. А теперь к делу. Лично мне игра понравилась, получили с товарищем огромнейшее удовольствие от забегов. Да, муторно. Да, страшно. Да, относительно линейно. Но при этом всём игра затягивает именно своей напряженностью. В общем лично мой вердикт: игра стоящая, надеюсь, что разрабы её будут и дальше развивать и не забросят. 10 мушек на экране из 10!

No más, Señor. F***ing Easter egg hunt in hell.

Bad performance, visually uncomfortable camera settings (mouse smoothing, motion blur, limited look vertical angle), clunky movement (cant run after "quick" turns), weapons break, npc ai is dumb, prologue mission exists for no reason, next-to-the-wall weapon clipping with melee weapons(why???), overall everything feels extremely sluggish and uncomfortable.
