What to say about this PS4 game, except it’s possibly the most stunning 3D-like 2D platformer I’ve ever seen that keeps wanting to be played.
Its plot is unknown, except you’re a boy trapped in the woods, miles from home. Unfortunately, you’re in the wrong place at the right time and start to uncover some sort of diabolical plot being done by other humans. And since they don’t know you, they assume you’re a spy and try everything they can to stop you (including sicking their dogs on you).
Farther and farther down the rabbit hole you go, you start to see their unethical experiments on fellow humans in the name of science. And there’s one point that I just said “o_O .. NOPE! This shit is going to give me nightmares, I just know it. Not playing this anymore!” And of course I was playing this game an hour before I went to to bed.
Zombies that can be mind-controlled by the player? I’m OK with it.
Some strange sea witch(that you can’t kill)? Annoying, but I’m OK with it.
A living blob of human flesh, with arms and legs coming out of it(that kind of looks like ‘The Crawling Spleen’ from The Angry Beavers? … NOPE!! Fucking nightmare fuel!
Even as I write this, I see that thing wiggling around, moaning and groaning, being able to grab stuff with its arms and legs (and being able to walk).. WTF HAVE WE CREATED?!?! Oh my god, and I thought that huge spider in the beginning of Limbo was scary.
I think I’m gonna be sick. …But anyway, this? This is a great game. There is only a single time it ever loads (minus waiting for the game to reload after a death). And the only gripe I have of it, as I was sitting on the title screen, waiting for a ‘press any key’ thing to popup (for a good 5 minutes). Tapped the X key thinking the game froze, and the game started. Wow.
Highly recommend this game to others (if you haven’t played it yet). The puzzles are great (some are easy, while others can take upwards of 10 minutes to figure out).
