yall don't know how much I needed a game like this after playing Prey. I bought it 5 months ago and I just got around to playing it and it's INCREDIBLE.
I would've given it a 4.5 but it's really short and it's still in early access BUT either way, don't let the early access tagline stop you from playing it!! It's REALLY GOOD
I loved the RE4 inventory system so much -seriously all games should have it at this point lmao-
loved how the shadows are literally a mechanic in the game and how you can hide IN them
I LOVED the light ring and how it genuinely makes the game clean -it's HUDless which is so cool-
Loved the save system phonograph which is basically like the old typewriters in Resident Evil
I especially loved it in the first area since it wasn't linear like the other two but I'm not gonna lie... after finishing the second area I thought it was kinda annoying and didn't really serve ANY purpose but hey it's still a pretty cool idea after all
Here are some stuff/concerns that I hope will get fixed or added in later updates:
1- I thought the 'looting for money' thing was great, but why would put it IN the game if I can't do anything with it YET?? I kept all the raw gems and the brooches throughout the whole game in my ALREADY LIMITED INVENTORY and apparently, it was literally for nothing?? I'm sorry but that is so dumb
2- the A.I., the way to see my HP, and climbing are a bit clunky but it's okay they aren't THAT bad and I'm pretty sure they'll get fixed sooner or later
3- I'd love it if they'd be a little more specific when I pick up a key, yeah I know I just praised the game for how clean it looks but keys look literally the same and I don't want to stop what I'm doing to open every locked door in the area to check if I was using the right key or not.
4- I know it's kinda pointless but I'd love if they put my playthrough's stats when I finish one -like dishonored maybe-
5- WE NEED MORE NON-LINEAR LEVELS LIKE THE FIRST ONE!!!!!!!!
Anyways, Gloomwood isn't perfect YET by no means. Still, it's genuinely awesome and I seriously do NOT remember the last time I played an immersive sim without having to go through a hassle like 99% of the time lmao. I repeat I highly recommend it even in its current state and I'm so excited for it to be finished. وصح الديفولبر يشبه اوسمز خخخخ
