I thought I wanted an old school, text based, paper mapping, dungeon exploring adventure.

Boy was I wrong.

30 minutes in I knew it wasn't for me. Love the aesthetic though. 4 stars just for that. I'd love to see a more fleshed out version in a sequel. But at the same time the minimalism is part of its charm isn't it?

I really like the concept of this game. The execution on console however leaves much to be desired. navigating dungeons is a bit unintuitive and its just clear this was made with PC in mind first. That said, the ideas are implemented solidly to really enjoy yourself. and if you're a masochist this is a game where you can really indulge because its STRESSFUL AF. The compete opposite of...lets say, a cozy game. I don't know why I like it so much. I honestly just like the marriage of Psychosis, exploration and turn based combat. I wish there was more customization but at the same time its not that kind of game

Well what can I say? Theres so much to love about Crow Country. It's art style, it's satisfying shooting mechanics, it's quirky and interesting story, it's atmosphere. It's all done so well and it's a brisk 5 hour game. I think I spent maybe 4 hours in it exploring plus I'm slow, but it's really just a love letter to the genre but also adds to it in some subtle ways.

This is a survival horror game that just feels good to play. I loved my time with it. Anyone who grew up on classic survival horror must play this ASAP
