This is my 3rd and hopefully final review of this game.
From a positive review on launch day, to a negative review when SONY blindsided us by preventing numerous boots from hitting the ground.

I am leaving this as my epitaph on this games page.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE LENGTHS THAT A HELLDIVER CAN GO.
I'll see you all again on the battlefield!

This will be GOTY.

Played it with my wife, and had a good time shouting across the room at each other.
10/10 would yell again.

Gunfire took what made Remnant: From The Ashes so great and cranked the dial to the max with this one. Tons of replayability, expansive loot, and best of all a wide variety of archetypes and build synergy. I have played through the campaign twice now, and adventure mode multiple times. Making small decisions each time and having different outcomes is one of the most rewarding experiences to look forward to when rerolling your campaign. Play solo or with friends you are bound to have a blast.
This actually might be my GOTY right now. Great game!

First of all if you enjoy the original Resident Evil then I would say you should play this game, secondly this game also uses the inventory management that RE4 uses as well. Clearly a lot of inspiration from that franchise, but in the best way.
The level design, characters, puzzles, and story are all fleshed out and terrific. The game is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the Indie Horror scene.

The Szymanski Family are all talented developers, so this was a no-brainer when I saw it go live.
Play their games and you'll understand that they all take influence from the best parts of what make games fun, and crank it to eleven.

Oh and for those worried about the length of the game (as if that matters), there are tons of secrets to find, cheats and game modes will also become accessible after your first completion. Some are game changers, and others are just for fun, either way a normal playthrough of searching for everything can last up to about 5-6 hours.
I'd also like to note I purchased this Day 1 and the game never crashed nor did it give me any issues performance wise.

Throughout my entire experience with My Friendly Neighborhood it was nothing short of a good time.

I'm looking forward to making a video review on this one.
Well done! I look forward to whatever you guys make next.

This game was one of my most anticipated games of 2022, it did not deliver.

I felt like this game compares close to the last Dead Space game, we are thrown into a situation we don't really understand and once it finishes I am left unsatisfied and honestly disappointed. I was really hoping the story, the scares, and the atmosphere would be enough to make me enjoy it all, but the tedious dance of melee combat felt stale, the atmosphere and jumpscares became very predictable, and most of all the story uses every standard trope til the end. Overall this game deserves a 4/10 at best.

I'd say wait for a sale, but tbh just replay Dead Space, or grab the remake, cause this ain't it chief.

Still to this day, I think this game is one of the most underrated titles pushed out by Frictional Games. It has one of the most unique story lines, and the atmosphere at times can be intense. The world building along with the storytelling of our main protagonist feels special. This kind of polish happens once in a blue moon, it isn't a long game took me about 6 hours to beat. But if you are in the market for a deep sea, sci-fi adventure, look no further.

SOMA 10/10. Play it.

First of all, this game is not for everyone and that is okay.
I have been waiting years for this games release so I had my expectations a little higher, truthfully though I am a bit disappointed.
The atmosphere and vibe were creepy and subtle, the visuals are also very detailed and quite beautiful to take in.
However, that's about it as far as the pros go, the cons unfortunately outweigh them heavily too.

I didn't have any issues with the puzzles, most of them require some use of your brain. I actually liked the puzzles a lot. It is the tedious enemy combat and also positioning of the enemies I have an issue with. The enemies tend to stack on each other and when that occurs it overlaps the damage output. You take about 2 bars worth of damage per tick, when you have ranged enemies and close combat enemies in the mix it can get chaotic quick. The room you fight the enemies in as well is a bit cramped so dodging is a bit of a challenge, not impossible.
If you happen to die, you will reload to the nearest checkpoint. However, this game does not have a save game feature, I usually like this in most games in case of a crash. I don't want to repeat puzzles, or combat for progression I have already done. In that regard it can be generous to you, or it can reload you at the start of an act. The final act of the game is extremely vivid, but its glossed over with repetitive mechanics, and unnecessarily weird scripting.

Overall rating for this game would be a generous 5/10 for the 8 years it took to come out of development hell and the 5 hours I spent to beat it.

If you aren't a novice in puzzle games / walking sims / basic fps mechanics then you may have a problem. But seeing how kids play fortnite these days. I think you'll be alright.

I recommend you wait for a sale, buy it at half its price at most. Truthfully you can get more out of a $10 game.

I feel bad for all the kickstarters.

If you enjoyed gaming in the early 2000's and wish there was a modern take on that genre, this is the game for you.

I rarely write reviews anymore, but this game was a blast, its short and sweet, very nostalgic of games like Crash Bandicoot as well. This project was headed by a solo developer who obviously has a great passion for his work. I didn't run into any performance issues, and I enjoyed the entire ride. Thank you for making something enjoyable during these harsh times!

Also love when I get to see the growth of a game within its development, so enjoyable to watch those credits roll, well done!
