The Park®

Pretty mid. The player is never in any real danger and the protagonist's long speeches sound like a 12 year old's attempt at being edgy. If you wanna play a good horror game, go somewhere else cuz this is not it

When I first got this game in about 2018, I left it to rot in my backlog, mainly for the fact I did not want to play it. Then early last year, I saw CheeseYean's review on [i] "The Park" [/i] and I remembered I own the "worst horror game", as it is that according to his review (at the time). I decided yesterday to load it up, and just complete it and never play it again... But then I began to read more of the files, see more of the words actually being said, and experience the game myself, and, let me tell you all this. EVEN if you see a review, try something YOURSELF. This game, though its not some Silent Hill 2 level of game, is in fact, a pretty dang deep game... [b] BUT ONLY [/b] if you are willing to actually invest and see this game through, and pay attention, looking at every file/interactable item, and read into it. I, for one, will [i] not [/i] defend Lorainne, she is hands down one of the worst mothers in games I have played. She is not fit to be a good mother, and shows it in most of her dialogue. She does have some moments where she is seemingly trying, but "Seemingly trying" is not enough to be a good mother. She is a bad mother who, spoilers ahead: [spoiler] KILLS HER OWN SON!!! [/spoiler] HOWEVER... I think I can somewhat speak on a bit of defense to it, based on what I saw in the final act. What she did is ABSOLUTELY unforgivable, but, I can somewhat see what caused her to do so (which I will make my own video hopefully covering my theory, or add to this review at the end when I have time). HOWEVER.... I recommend you play this game, and enjoy it. Dive into it, and solve it for yourself. Either the music, the dark side of life, looking through the eyes of a mother who lost her kid, and is going through the journey of loss, pain, distrust, hate, and grief, all in one humble game. It takes less than 80 minutes to go through and explore/find EVERY collectable/achievement. I recommend this game, and please, do look deeper, because somethings, are more than the dark stories we have in our minds.

The park, um joguinho bem curto de terror (e um simulador de andar). Ambientado num parque de diversão abandonado em busca de seu filho, tem uma historia bem fácil de tender, com conquistas que podem ser conquistada na primeira gameplay, recomendo compra numa promoção quando tiver.

if you love the jankiness of the original secret world legends like I did, this is fun, if not, give it a miss

The Park is a mildly decent horror game. I wouldn't call it an amazing game - so don't go into this expecting it to be the next big innovation in the horror genre or anything along those lines. But if you just want a short (2-3 hours), simple story where you wander a theme park at night, visiting each attraction and getting a bit of exposition with each one, then you can't go wrong with this one. The visuals are fine for what they are (again, nothing amazing) and the plot twist won't take you by surprise. The story is essentially that you're a mother searching for a lost child. But as you explore, you learn more of your character's past and it soon becomes apparent that not everything is as it seems. Cue a story about hard upbringings, mental health and deadly tragedy... again, these themes aren't exactly original and lots of other horror games and media have done them before. So again, don't expect anything outstandingly new here. But still, I liked it enough; so sure, I'll give it a thumbs up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u48C-o1fNuI&list=PL05Yc3_TEBpMBTx2Y2m0mMVY9YHtD1BLt&index=1&t=680s

I was promised a spooky amusement park but all I can see is mostly rocks and trees.
