Retroactively reviewing this to say that it is a must play and I've thought about it often since playing it in 2022.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. The environments were gorgeous and the gameplay was fun and engaging!
I love logic puzzles so this was a great game for me since this was a clever way to present one in a video game. Every time I successfully solved something it felt incredibly satisfying. Any time I made a connection it made me feel like a genius. The visual style felt really unique, and the soundtrack was fantastic. The game deserves the praise it's gotten.
2009
I played through the PS3 HD Collection version of the game. I enjoyed the actual gameplay a lot more than I thought I would. I've been wanting to check out the God of War franchise for a while, and for the most part, the first game still holds up. The platforming in the path to hades level drove me insane though it was harder for me than the final boss battle. I also really liked the treasures included (viewing these was not counted as part of my time completing the game) and it was nice to see a more interactive version of the development process like an area with rejected monsters and models.
This is one of the best RPGs I have ever played. I spent 10 months with it and it immersed me in a way few other games have. I am sad that I've finished it and I loved the gameplay, story, and my god that soundtrack is incredible!
I waited so long for this game to come to PC, and it was worth it. Really nailed giving the player the feeling that they are Spider-Man. Only complaint is by the end of the DLC some of the content felt repetitive (I'm a proud Screwball hater) and I would've liked to see more side missions instead.
2020
The intro to episode 2 is probably one of my favorite things I've ever seen in a game and I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing.
2004
This is such a classic when it comes to Flash games for me. Playing this nearly 20 years later was still fairly entertaining to pass the time.

House of Ashes delivers some of the best character writing in the anthology so far with the characters feeling more fleshed out compared to previous entries. The inclusion of alien vampire parasites was a lot to throw in all at once, but I did like the end credits scene which really started to show more blatant connections between the anthology’s stories through an unknown organization.
Like its predecessors, House of Ashes leaves a few loose ends and unanswered questions, but that doesn't fully detract from the overall enjoyment. The series keeps me coming back by basically being an interactive horror movie that makes for a fun game night with friends.

I wish the checkpoints were implemented a bit better and we had some trouble with the in game voice system so had to switch to Discord, but overall I don't have too many complaints. For a free game, I don't think there is any harm in trying this if you love escape rooms or similar style games and want a way to spend a couple hours with another person solving one.
Decent concept and I think pretty accurately captured the vibes of being home alone and worried that someone might be in the house with you.
I like the idea of this and it only takes about 5 minutes to play through so no harm in trying it out but ultimately doesn't do much for me.
