Crow Country is a fantastic indie survival horror which capitalizes immensely on the PS1-era vibe of survival horror and does so while maintaining a really good modern feel. The game's atmosphere and story are great as well. Highly recommended.

Not to be overly reductive in my description, but this is a good baby's first Silent Hill, minus the "deep" plot. The puzzles make sense, there's a generous hint system and the item drops seem to be dynamic, meaning you're always finding the ammo that you're lacking. It's also not that hard to dodge the enemies altogether. The controls are also a nice departure from the regular survival horrors - you _can_ use tank controls, but there's also a modern control scheme with relative movement and rotating camera.

Notice how I'm only describing the technical parts. It's a competent nice little game, I don't really have bad things to say. My only gripe with it is that it doesn't seem to want to say anything of import - it's not the aforementioned Silent Hill, nor is it Signalis or Homebody. This is a survival horror set in a theme park which feels like a theme park version of survival horrors. For that reason I likely won't be replaying it, though I enjoyed my time with it (and really looking forward to seeing what other experiments the developers will do - I also love their other games)

Not a bad game but I think it is a bit overrated. Won't recommend it at full price but if you can get it for 10-15€ then yeah.

Why? Because the gameplay feels average and the length is on the short side. The puzzles, combat and story felt ok, passing grade, but I've seen a lot better. Tormented Souls for instance has the best puzzles I've seen in a survival horror game and it is the same price. The only thing this game does exceptionally well is its aesthetics, and it should be applauded, but personally I think gameplay is more important hence why I don't recommend it at full price.

For the record I played the game on hard mode which is also what I recommend unless you are completely new to survival horror.
