Welcome to Hanwell

[b] [/b]

Okay, so I played Beyond Hanwell before this not realising its a sequel to this. I expected it to be worse, and knowing its the same team that did the god awful Grey Skies, I knew to expect badness... And oh boy is this bad. Story wise, like Beyond It has bones, but no meat; I'm still questioning the lore and story; like whats the deal with the monsters, why are we even killing this doctor, whats it get us? And [spoiler] why is this doctor cloning us?[/spoiler] - None of this got answered. Only who C3 was in Beyond Hanwell. Beyond that, god it sucked. Combat: Hate it. You're slow. In moment, in combat, everything. You swing, and the monsters have already hit you probably twice in a row before you've hit once. Get outnumbered and it's pretty much game over. and that B[strike]w[/strike]itch can seriously do one. It just teleports; and when its in range to hit, so are you. So you just get hit and sent flying back. All the while, this monster is teleporting around. (Not massively, but it still does) - I hated it. Flashlight - It dies too fast. Sure there's batteries to recharge it instantly but THE ENTIRE GAME IS DARK. You need this damn thing on all the time. You've no idea how much time I've spent just stood waiting for it to recharge on its own before I can progress. Objectives - They just don't appear. Add that to the oversized map and your slow movement, I spent probably 3 hours walking across the map to progress the story. Only to wonder "where am I going next?" Sure, the map has different POIs you can go in and explore for collectables, but god it was so slow and boring to do. Honestly, I felt this is a meh game; it really needed QOL improvements; faster movement, smaller map, better combat (I'd settle with either ranged weapons like Beyond Hanwell or just faster attacks for the player) and god they need to flush out the lore... I'm really curious about what the lore IS but it, like Beyond Hanwell doesn't provide it. Which sticks this into the Nope, don't play it.
