Heart of Darkness: The Game

This review contains spoilers

My first ever game for the PlayStation 3.

Still remember the day I got the Collector’s Edition and was skimming through the character art book. Amazing start overall. Lots of love given to the character and the mythos in general.

Also, probably because it was limited to only one Island, the horror aspect is sky high. Sometimes it legit feels like you are reading an Eldrich Horror novel.

Aside from the terrible final boss, would highly recommend!

The amount of fun I had with this while playing with my friend...

Man, time flies by. Great atmosphere and art design in general. Battles are super engaging, and the last-minute victory aspect is a straight shot of dopamine to the brain.

Play it with a friend!

“I am not a father anymore. I am not a husband. I am not a Medjay. I am a Hidden One.”

Heavy stuff.

Frankly, I never expected Bayek’s journey to affect me to the core, but it happily tagged me along. The changes in the gameplay and combat especially irritated me at first, but I quickly caught up to the bigger picture.

A soft reboot, a new beginning, and the ending of an old cycle to start a new one. Loved it.

American Nightmare walked so AWII could run.

Human Revolution, a divisive entry among Immersive Simulation (Im-Sim) fans, is often credited with making the IP more accessible to the masses. As a '90s kid, I’d heard a lot about the first game but never had the chance to play it. When I finally tried Human Revolution, I fell in love with its universe.

While I initially explored the Im-Sim genre through Dishonored, the level design and multiple approaches in Human Revolution weren’t as mind-blowing for me.

Nevertheless, it’s an excellent entry point into the genre, boasting an intriguing story and a wealth of hidden lore waiting to be uncovered. You won’t be disappointed!

My first CRPG experience was about a year ago. Initially, it felt a bit clunky—even though I was essentially playing a ‘Remaster.’ But the game’s undeniable charm won me over.

From the character portraits to the themes and narration, it exudes soul. If you’re patient enough to peel back the outer layer, you’ll find an unforgettable experience waiting for you.

I have to give credit to the ‘Friendly Arm Inn’ encounter, where I faced a Level 3 foe at the door. After dying countless times, I finally hit upon the idea of involving the town guard in my fight—and it worked! I absolutely love this game.
