Basically Amorphous+ gameplay with story line. With some thrills and horror aspect thrown in.
You are in a weird dark wood and the game is basically about trying to get the heck out of it.

✅ The fact that we start the game with almost no information given. Forcing us to try to make sense of the situation that we are in and gradually adjust ourselves to the weird wood just to make the escape is the most fun aspect imo. Try not to spoil yourself with too much info from wiki if that is what you are into.

✅ The fighting mechanic reminds me a lot of Amorphous+. Top-down perspective game where you can swing your melee weapons and fire your guns to fight enemies. It seems to be punishing for some people but after you get used to how each of these weird-ass creatures behave, this aspect can be very fun.

✅ They also have these choice-matter elements where your decisions would affect various characters and the worlds in few different ways. Couple with a lots of interesting lore and hints that tell us about the wood. A lot are left ambiguous with a lot of theories by players. These speculation and theories are genuinely fun to read and go through.

❌ But then again, all the lore, the world building and the consequences we may leave to the world during our attempt to escape just doesn't feel really worth indulging in -- given that we are supposed to get the heck out of it anyway. It is a really weird contradiction that bothers me a lot personally.

All in all, still had fun playing it. A bit too short but not a bad way the pass time.

As someone who had played earlier Commando series. This game has every improvement that I wish Commando had.

The balance between playable characters is especially handled very well

Each playable character has their own unique feature that has their own significance in each mission. It hardly feel like a single character is carrying the whole team due to their weirdly superior skill sets... ahemmm *** green berret***.

Some character traits like stealth killing and bodies disposal are differentiated among these characters by efficiency rather than simply having them can or cannot perform these actions.
One dude would be strong enough to carry up to 2 bodies while retain his maximum speed.
Some can only drag the bodies around due to their lack of strength. However, the way they slowly drag around the bodies is also much less visible to enemies which make them better than the other dude stealth-wise.
Most of the characters can perform stealth kill but with different animation length etc

Highly recommend for those who are into this kind of game... whatever genre it is called

Enjoy the suffering.

You can't be everywhere, you can't save everyone.
