Vaporum: Lockdown

Back in 2021, I had purchased a bundle with both the first game and second game in this series. A lot of time has gone by since I had tried the first game and got very sick playing it, due to forced head movement in it. 5 years later, after reading how different this game was supposed to be, I apprehensively decided to try it. It is unfortunate, but the problem has not been corrected in this game. I disabled all motion blurring, head bob, used the "Classic" movement, and so on to try to prevent my view bobbing. And the moment I stopped because the tutorial had me open my inventory, my character started looking around on their own accord, making me feel sick again. I swear I turned everything off to disable this, but when I pressed ESC to double check the game settings, the game completely froze on me, and I had to terminate it to use that screen again. The little forced motion already made me feel sick. I'm not going to try again. I cannot play this, as cool as it sounds and looks...

There are a lot of good puzzles, and a bit less fights than in previous one. And there are a lot of notes, that slowing the pacing, but you can always skip them. And it is still is a good dungeon crawler. So if you like first person dungeon crawlers with moderate amount of puzzles you should definitely try this one out.

Wow, even better then the first one which I rated just under Grimrock 1. Still not a flawless game, but definitely my new number 1 dungeon crawler I'd recommend to people trying out the genre. I do recommend playing this one before Vaporum 1 (makes more sense from story point of view, also it's the better one, so if you don't like this one no need to buy the first one). If you have ever considered trying out the genre or are already a rabid fan this game is a strong recommendation. +++Map/Puzzle design (much better flow in the maps and even better puzzles in this one) ++Atmosphere (even better then the first one, it was fun exploring this steampunk-esque tower) +Hub (we get a sort of hub in this one, which I liked cause I was hoarding all items in that spot, which btw there is 0 reason to do ^^;) +Time-freeze mechanic (carried over from the first 1 which is still my new favorite mechanic in dungeon crawlers) +Build variety (feels a lot better in this one, mainly due to a few more levelups and tweaked effects) +Final boss originality (even better then the final boss from the first one) =Breakable walls (they could have been just slightly more noticeable in a few places) =Hidden buttons (they are a few that are quite far from the door/thing they affect) =Combat Difficulty (this one is hard to judge, I played on hard and didn't have to use a single consumable the entire game but I did use the time-freeze mechanic a LOT, rebound to mouse 4) =Story (not bad, but not super engaging either) -Ambushes (most of the fights still have to lock you in a small room to be dangerous, then again, I used no consumables) -Auto-save (it's quite noticeable and warns you about upcoming dangers)

We need more fine games like Vaporum. Im waiting for a new Wizardry 8 ;-)

10/10 Great fun.
