Welcome to Hanwell

This game is now free, so it's not a case of pointing out the flaws of the game but rather appreciating the things it does well. The Silent Hill approach is brilliant, albeit the town is a bit too large and walking the area can be a little slow. Walking simulator? But once you get into each of the main buildings the environment is amazing for a game from 2017. Again, it's an Indie game, and it does an excellent job in this regard. The story isn't the most in-depth and there's no real feeling to the game outside of the main goal but I've heard great things about the second game, and played this as a way of introducing myself to the realm. The bugged achievement for collecting all of the cards is a shame. I've played an hour/two since getting the 6th card and the achievement hasn't popped, but aside from that, I have no real gripes with this game. As it's free, definitely give it a play!

The game has a cool setting, but the mechanics are too weird. It's very sad that it was messed up but missing to implement some basic, but very important features for enjoying the gameplay. Instead, the game has cool optics, a spooky Silent Hill like city and fog, but is annoying the player with lacking several things. Now it's for free, ok, it's still not a game I'd like to play too long. Setting/ scenario Very nice with many details like street signs, lamps, ATMs, etc. Even today it's looking good. The enemy design is a bit boring. Combat/ weapons Why losing your weapon upon entering a building? Of course the weapon is gone afterwards, what a boring and outdated thing. The fights are clunky, the enemies feel much more powerful, but not in a challenging way, more in a way your character feels like a clumsy ballon-man with a pizza in one hand and a broken weapon in the other hand, trying to balance on a thin line while eating the pizza. Flashlight The flashlight is draining the battery, you have to wait for an annoying amount of time to use it again, so outdated as well. Caring for the flashlight power in a dark game, really? I sometimes had to wait for the damn flashlight to replenish, this is a terrible anti-feature. Please remove these crappy "searching for batteries" / "auto-refreshing flashlight" mechanics finally, at least in dark games. Objectives/ Journal/ Map Did I miss the journal with my next target? Why not adding at least some icons on the strange map to let the player know which places he still has to visit in order to finish a task? At least a journal should be a standard feature nowadays. Finally, the sequel is much better!

This game has no option to invert the y-axis. It also likes to crash, a lot. It also likes to get stuck on the main menu. My favorite part is that despite never actually being able to get past the menu and play the game, the game had crashed, the process failed to close and stayed running (frozen) in the background for six hours, making me unable to get a refund.

Paid for this game, now free. Finished and thoroughly loved the excellent sequel "Beyond Hanwell" (don't miss it !). So immediately installed "Welcome to Hanwell", but, in 2017 the dev was trying out his skills and sadly the game is uneven. Great setting, no surprise, but a couple too weird mechanics killed the game for me. To enter every house, you have to drop your weapon at the doors and enter unarmed. When you leave, the weapon is always gone, so find another ASAP (they are all over the terrain) as you are momentarily defenseless. Why ?! Blocking doesn't work apparently ? No health meter. Flashlight works for a while (Float, 0.0000 full charge to empty at 120.0000, turns off), then it's unusable for another while (red icon) till it regens to full, but ok, except if you have to wait for it in a real dark place. Got outside the starting lab, alarm of 1st foe sounds. Instead of hiding, I run towards it, found it, kill it quickly (Steam says only 28% of gamers get to do that). Continue exploring in the same initial big walled park searching for an exit for a while. Game suddenly says "You went too far, it's dangerous, turn back", no previous comment. Before I can even react, game kills me (no foe, I just died). What. the. heck. Uninstalled, forget it. Re-installed later, went to a couple houses towards the church, but ... If the dev should change the disappearing weapon weirdness, I would play this at once. Otherwise, the game will remain untouched. Conclusion: Get Beyond Hanwell, where the dev shows fully his notable talents to brilliance !!

The game feels unfinished. Plain and simple. The combat sucks, you can't hit ♥♥♥♥ with it. When you die, you somehow loose your weapon yet inventory items remain. You run slower than a toddler. There is this one anomaly which is a limping girl that constantly spawns in front of you making it absolute hell to get to a house and weapons don't work on her. I can see effort put into this, the atmosphere, the graphics and the optimization is great but the gameplay drags all of that down the sink.

한웰 시리즈의 대부분은 거의 다 똑같습니다. 매드 사이언티스트가 사람가지고 실험을 하고 의회는 그것을 승인해주고 도시는 한순간에 작살나고 주인공은 깨어나보니 도시가 이모냥 이꼴이고. 다 똑같은 비슷한 스토리이지만 그래도 이 시리즈만의 무언가 분위기와 재미는 있습니다. 세미오픈월드를 지향하지만 완벽한 오픈월드는 아닙니다. 그러기엔 너무 요소가 부족합니다. 한글자막은 없지만 충분히 플레이 가능하며 플레이 타임은 4~5시간 정도입니다. 무료게임치고는 엄청 긴 플레이 타임입니다. 중간에 지루한 부분도 있긴하지만 그래도 무료게임인데 이정도면 갓겜맞는거 같습니다.

Ill start by saying yes it is slightly buggy and a bit clunky at times. But its a solid indie horror game and is even free and ive seen a LOT worse free and paid horror games. The vibe of the world overall is super good like a mixture of Silent Hill and S.T.A.L.K.E.R! For anyone confused about the story heres my best take on it: To the best of my knowledge the lore of the universe seems to be in this reality S.T.A.L.K.E.R like anomalies just exist throughout the whole world and certain cities are built to defend against them so you can live normal lives in them. But something goes wrong causing the defenses to fall allowing them into the city and leading up to the games events.

[strike]Обзор скорее нейтральный, чем положительный, но раз Стим не позволяет, пусть будет так[/strike] [b]Сюжет.[/b] А есть ли он вообще? По сути вся игра завязана на исследовании: собирании кусков идентификационной карточки некоей женщины, которые спрятал главный злодей, читании записок, прослушивании аудиофайлов и собирании коллекционных предметов, которых под двести штук. Какой-то глубокой концовки ждать не стоит. Графика симпатичная, есть смена дня и ночи, погоды; сирена, оповещающая о монстрах, создает атмосферу, музыка приятная (для хоррор игры хд), но ее слишком много, и она не всегда к месту, что очень надоедает. [b]Геймплей.[/b] Симулятор ходьбы по пустому туманному городу (разрабы явно вдохновлялись Сайлент Хиллом). Мир открытый, карта большая, но пустая, кроме периодически выскакивающих монстров и разбросанных коллекционных предметов есть небольшое количество домиков, в которые можно зайти, чтобы эти самые коллекционные предметы и собрать. В некоторых местах происходит всякая чертовщина в попытке нас напугать, но таких моментов, к сожалению, слишком мало. Вообще в игру напихано все, что только можно придумать - хоррор и мистика, аномалии, загадки, религиозная муть с распятой на кресте женщиной (которая особо никакой роли не играет, но почему-то находится на превьюшке игры), лаборатории и эксперименты, враги от огромных пауков до неких сверхъестественных сущностей, есть кривоватая боевка, вынужденный стелс, потому что в некоторые места нельзя пронести оружие, да, и все это происходит в открытом мире, - такое ощущение, что разрабы пытались угодить всем. В игре есть ультрафиолетовый фильтр на фонарик, это могло бы стать фишкой игры, но мы используем его всего два раза за игру, то же самое касается батареек для постоянно гаснущего фонарика, если уж и добавлять их, то не в количестве одной или двух штук на всю карту. Что еще хотелось бы видеть в игре? Больше сюжета, больше страшных и мистических событий (это же хоррор, как-никак), чтобы город не казался таким пустым, а также поправить субтитры, сломанные ачивки и музыку, которая включается, когда враг спавнится в километре от персонажа. [b] Вывод.[/b] Бесплатный симулятор ходьбы в жанре хоррора без глубокого сюжета, который можно вечерочек потыкать [strike](а можно и не тыкать, ничего особо не потеряв хд)[/strike]. Палец вверх за неплохую попытку [strike](и бесплатную игру)[/strike], а разрабам удачи в дальнейшей разработке.
