It's Portal.

Yep, all my playtime was me dying on every layer of the game. But my god - even dying in this game feels epic.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. This game's perfect. I'm going to review each part of it here:
The Good:
1. Music. It's fine-tuned to the gameplay, it changes dynamically depending of the situation your squad's in. When xenos attack, new instruments in the music appear, when extraction starts - a stressful heartbeat-like beat blends in. Just enough to make you stress over blue dots on the screen.

2. Atmosphere. Dark and Gloomy. Fits very well. Also, there's a way to stand up from the computer and walk around the room, and I'm sure that they'll do a lot of cool stuff with it later .
There's also the "company does not care about humans" thingy, but even if they're clones, they still cry for help.

3. Gameplay. You basically watch them explore the area and retask them if needed. But GOD DAYMN - It becomes so stressful when it comes to micro-managing them, just amazing.

4. Audio. They cry for help. You can't help them. Oh, and also the game makes satisfying keyboard sounds when you navigate the menus.
Oh, also yes, the actors are indeed human, it's so rare nowdays to find an indie game with real voice acting.

5. Controls. Good. You do not need the mouse though.

6. Graphics. Again, there's a way to stand up from the PC and look at the room you're in, and it looks good AND you do not need NASA PC to look at it.

Now, The Bad:
1. Sometimes FPS drops when you switch from screen-to screen, but that's the only time where it does that. It's also connected to the fact that the game's actually 3D and all that you see on the screen actually happens in 3D, and they might expand on it

And The Ugly:
1. Right now the game opens the feedback google form of the game every single time you exit the demo. devs please fix.


Additional note: (SPOILER!) after you finish the demo, check the door


As you can see, there's quite a lot of good things about the game, so GO PLAY IT!

P.S. this game is literally what Mission Control from Deep Rock Galactic has to go through every day, and you are telling me that he has a "cozy job"!?

Slow, Tense, Hard. Just as expected.

So many problems with mouse controls. It was one of the reasons on why I could not play this mod - the input lag is insane.

The humour is non-existant, the characters say just what you expect them to, the section with a single portal device is too long, and all of the puzzles from that section conclude to "press the button to reset the cube" which is not even an original idea.

Soundtrack is somewhat good.

The map design is weird. The levels themselves are OK, but the decorations and the visual fidelity is either too bland or too crowded, they're mixing the designs from the GladOS era chambers and the Weatley era chambers, creating that weird mess.

Turning on Vsync is not limiting the fps to the screen refresh rate, giving that insane input lag effect. You can limit the fps manually, and that will somewhat fix the problem.

The "volumetric lighting" system just adds more visual noise, and it's better to disable it.

There's a lot of effort put into this mod, but it just does not have the charm and the design philosophy original Portal 2 has.

Amazing. Best Landfall game.

It's amazing. The tactical shooter that actually requiers yo uto develop a plan (Shocking, right!?), and has no bullcrap movement mechanics, such as corner peaking. The community is friendly, and the devs are amazing.

The game is made in unity, that means that it does not suffer from fps drops Unreal Engine has.

Plus, the weapons are actually fun to use (Unlike some other tactical shooter from Ubi***t)

Also, DEVS, PLEASE READ THIS: THE GAME NEEDS ONLY 9 GB OF STORAGE, WHY ARE 30GB LISTED ON THE STORE PAGE?

Simply P E R F E C T.

The remaster is amazing, the humour is on the top, the references are valid and not outdated, worth the price.

Boring.

- It's Terraria.
