A bit rough around the edges, but kind of amazing for its time. I wish more campaigns took this approach to multi-option progressions and expensive (but effective) perk advancements. After configuring the patchwork, I still prefer the modern editions of Cyberpunk 2077, but I'd say the conspiratorial plot of Deus Ex is better than the former's overall story, and there's something special about the immersive sim genre of the late 90s and early 2000s.

They've really done good in patching this baby up. Give it a shot now if you had doubts before.

You know, nothing tastes quite as bad as bad horror. I bought this game expecting a psychological trip, like, the mind games of Amnesia The Dark Descent, or the experience of emotional tension beside all the survival horror like Silent Hill 2, but instead what I found in Neverending Nightmares is simply every trick we've already seen in the horror genre (be it movie, novel, or video game) amplified with buckets of blood and dark ambient noises to make your time playing this as experientially unpleasant as possible. I understand that in order to be scary, an artist needs to show you something to break comfort zones and unnerve you into paying attention, but here the designers seemed to just overload you with everything that tempts you NOT to pay attention: Good God, I mean, you see some of the most overtly disturbing sights and sounds I've ever found in a game here, all in that Edward Gorey-esque art style, for no insightful meaning other than to promote awareness for mental illness-- as made evident from a message in the credits. While I can see how there are people out there that can enjoy this -- be it for the sociopolitical issue of mental health awareness or the jump-out scares that will surely spawn some funny Let's Play videos-- I cannot recommend this simply due to how uncreative and tasteless the creators' sense of "horror" is. To me, Neverending Nightmares is hardly any different than a very drawn-out version of those mazes where the Exorcist face pops up.

An excellent piece of digital-interactive artwork that uses the 4 essesntial elements of gaming (algorithm, player activity, interface, graphics) to spectacular degrees, all in order to deliver the scares and overwhelming creepiness of an experience that makes a game a true survival horror. The claustrophobic blackness of every step you take along with your character's (Daniel's) frequent gasps and whimpers over the incessant hauntings and attacks you endure throughout the campaign build a disarming immersion into a ghastly world all the advertisements and reviews of this game have promised. Although all your struggles charging through the game are inevitibly concluded with any one of the three rather disappointing endings, the sweat and shivers the whole shebang (quite effectively) offers makes it an experience totally worth a sappy resolution to forget about underneath the terrific fog of memories you'll make with the genuinely frightening gameplay and set pieces.

Easily the most well-designed online game ever made. There is a happy balance of variety, spectacle, humor, danger, and control level by level in the game types set for you with frequent updates to renovate the experience almost weekly, yet the core gameplay boiling with creativity and indelible balance is never dented or tampered with. There's even an offline practice field if you think you suck or would rather play with programmed AI bots over mean-hearted human players. And what else is there to say about an online game if it's fun to play even without friends?
A must-play for any game surveyor, and it's free to play now anyways, so hurry up and get it, guys!
