The game on PC doesn't have good optimization, so prepare to some fix patches that you need to do by yourself in txt files inside the folders on your computer. It game has about 15~ releases on different platforms so capcom obviously made big bank by re-releasing it and EVEN MAKING THE REMAKE THAT MADE THEM A LOT OF MONEY. Talking about the pot - it is fine, like in every RE game that was released before and would after. The design and brownish style of it is a real piece of art, because they don't make games like that anymore and I really miss that (Dead Space 1 for example). The music, the song during save-screens on the type-writer, QTE and bulldozer missions - all of this is the reason why we value the era of xbox 360 & PS2/PS3, these were funny things ofc.

Admire the characters designs, for me they look even more beautiful and realistic-likely than the remake ones, so probably would choose them. Close combat is a real bad thing, mostly because they didn't know what to do with the knife except "counter attack" and... that's all, so remake really fixed this thing and made it more interesting. The character of Ashley is okay, but a bit too cliche-likely and "damsel in distress", in the same time Leon is badass chad, while in the remake all of it was actually reversed - Ashley got nice, confident temper, a little feminist-inspired but Leon was gagged in terms of woman jokes and etc.. By the game progress both of characters were poisoned by las plagas virus but the symptons didn't even show up and here was literally no side-effects of it, while in the remake...... And It can keep going so long - both versions have their pros and cons and the thing i wanna say that this version is still PLAYABLE (only with gamepad), so i'm strongly recommend to visit the spanish village and cool Salazaar Castle before playing the remake.

Wanna give the props to the original voice actor of Leon Kennedy - Paul Mercier, it's a classic one and he did a nice job but remake showed that we might get something even more brutal and actually mature, so i would prefer Nick Apostolides (From RE2, RE4) over Paul, sorry.

After so many hours spending with two iconic characters - Estelle and Joshua very glad to see the epilogue and progression of their relationships. This is perfect and I guess it will be one of my favorites for a long time, left a good memories and made you feel connected with the characters that aren't even real. JRPG have been already shown to us what ideal writing should look like. I'm very envious to the people completed it earlier at the year of release (On to the PSP or whatever)
I consider the plot of this game as a funny and adventure-likely journey, it was fun yet dramatic and very tempting on some moments. Hope they will press on to the second part more and there would be much more content

Strongly recommend not to waste time on to trying accomplish on to 100% (obviously impossible considering you will play without any wiki). Also, install the voice-over pack because quite a number of people knows that it even exists.

Waiting for Steam Sale!

Things aside, it's an another banger-sequel like the others during the era of Xbox 360 - NINJA GAIDEN II, Batman: Arkham City, Mass Effect 2. The game became even more than the original one - it's a golden tendency from the past era of games and for the current time sequels aren't always better. Diversity of guns is a cool thing but I decided to limit them to three (Plasma Cutter - no explanation, Line Gun - cool for killing heavy enemies, Force Gun - nice addition to the previous ones because it's useful against a bunch. So, here were so many guns but it's still not a big pow-pow action-shooter, I think that it's fifty/fifty, usually i find myself in an urgent need of ammo, sometimes I was terrified (also I played on the high difficulty) because my supplies were running out so quickly. Pay all the respects for the prologue, it was interesting decision in the tandem with a betrayal. Ellie Langford is such a good woman character, she is the queen and the ending for sure confirms these words. Queen literally went "man thinks he's gonna sacrifice himself for me? Hold my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beer."

Diversity of enemies also makes me happy, Stalkers and Kids (both types) are a nice addition, in the first game it was kinda boring by the end but here... it hits different. All the stalkers segments truly horrify me and makes game colorful. Space evens were cool too because of the different enemies on stations surfaces and free-flight that make you feel like you are Iron Man.

It was quite a good experience even though the game literally opens you all the DLC benefits for free, still don't understand decisions that likely, it's the second game that has it (first was dragon age 1). I guess it's the steam problem so on the other platforms all might be good.

Isaac Clark, your story arc still remains the respect (let's forget about ♥♥♥♥♥♥ DS3 and love triangle from that game)

I was scrolling the feed in steam and find myself in an urgent need of good games that my computer could actually run, so i glanced at this HIIDDDEEEEEN GEEEEEM and found it interesting but not the price, don't you think that for an indie-game it's kinda high? know the inflation thing but still. Received the game free from the friend of mine and not satisfied with the length of the game, here were so many mysteries and puzzles that are not optional for the plot, the developers could put them in the main plot and it would be a perfect scenario. In a nutshell. puzzles cool and understandable for a regular player, so i like these

To be honest, I'm not that fan of Survival-Horrors but this game sometimes got me goosebumps because of the popped-up monsters along the road to the same, "safe" location that you already know, And I'm talking about the designs and actions too, they are slow and in the same time look terrific for you. In this game all the characters have hinges in their designs, find it cool and pay respect to the artists. There were even some funny ridiculous scenes in the game that make you smile and draw attention and actual plot includes five+ characters that you communicate throughout the game. The gameplay and combat actually were kinda dull, recommend to not expect fast enemies - all of them are slow (even if you haven't worn a sport shoes. so it makes a game kinda easy

I found this one as a good successor among the others, by the inspirer I mean Silent Hill 3 obviously, because in both games you are playing by female protagonists in the amusement park and trying to figure out what's going on. It is clear that the plots are different but it still can't be unnoticed

Recommend to play but pay your attention to the length of this game

I've accomplished this game by medium difficulty, so I really like this one, it's a classic stylish piece of gold from 2008 year it may seem to be old but no it isn't. Isaac Clarke such a strong-willed man that had gone through so many obstacles on his way to just reach a shuttle and escape this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ planet. It's also funny how much vents here was in the locations, because at the start of the game they tried to scare you by jumping from them so frequently but not at the end and it were
still horrifying me. Horror here also so intense or it's just me who is not that experienced like others in terms of Horror
Genre.

Also, want to disagree with people who are keep talking about this like a shooter, mostly because here so many action scenes with explosions or whatever. I think here enough missions where you need to repair some crucial issue to escape, so by the end of it's adventure you came to shuttle like you were at work 11 hours straight and it's true. Pay big respect to those who created The Marker idea, it's a big homage to Stanley Kubrick himself, director of the "Space Odyssey", and I want to explore this even more in the seuqel. Don't understand people arguing about V-SYNC (60 fps), for me cracked physics were not that funny and hilarious so I'm okay with that. Still, can understand if it bothers someone.

XBOX 360 ERA RULES, such a masterpieces were made during this period (for me Ninja Gaiden 2, Batman:Arkham, Fallouts and etc.)

In conclusion, really recommend you to play this game even if you are afraid of horrors just like me

Firstly, game is just mid or even a little worse. I don't know why so many people are happy around this indie-game that is for sure normal in some terms but bad in others. So, about the pros and cons

I've been hating this inventory system through all gameplay. It was mostly because this game inspired by much accurate and cooler horror-survivals (SH, RE) but the directors of Signalis seem to not understand some necessary things to let this system work. It results in that you would probably have a full inventory without a chance to pick up an item for solving a riddle/puzzle during your location research. So you need to do this over and over (return to the save room to drop some of your items). In the Resident Evil franchise that Signalis inspired by, they see m to give the player an inventory expansion but here wasn't the case. The function "inspect" haven't used through the game but was added because of this existence in Resident Evil Franchise, what a ♥♥♥♥

Plot is very "Twin Peaks" likely, it's much easier to create the game that tells you almost nothing, so by the end of the game you forgot what was this adventure for and it's a big minus since this game was in production development for 8 years and had not have any understandable story arcs (except those moments when the implication is introduced that Replikas are literally the same thing from "Blade Runner" with memories they don't own but i guess it's a cliche)

Music is something bad because here doesn't exist a separation on ambient/song so you can not distinguish is it just an ambient or a song and it is not enough. The Full Soundtrack is cool but I didn't hear in game literally half of those tracks (it seems the directors cut some of them out on the half of playback) Cigarette wife is the only song that I like in the game

Puzzles and riddles are bad too, most of them don't conduct you any explanation on what you need to do except a very little number of riddles. The best example is The Empress riddle where the key to this is a paper with text in reverse which hints you need to solve in in right-left order but no it's not and it's so stupid ♥♥♥♥ i've ever seen.

CALIFORNIA GIRLS. WE'RE UNFORGETTABLE
DAISY DUKES. BIKINIS ON TOP

I tried to accomplish the whole plot of its game around two years playing little by little, and I strongly recommend you to enter into this franchise except starting with this game. It is really good point to start with Trails In The sky, this game maybe look old-fashioned, yet it much better to start not from trails from zero (even if name of the game looks like it is). Want to share with you that Trails from Zero is the first game that i bought over 15$ and it was TRULY WORTH IT, Lots of Characters have interesting story arcs that you can deep into and really feel for them. Tio Plato, Randy Orlando, Elie Macdowell, Lloyd Bannings, Sergey Chief, Detective Dudley, Speaker Hartmann and etc. that I love, The setting of Crossbell State is perfect, most of the buildings just looks great and well-developed due to nice graphics and NPC here. It was a loss that we didn't use the airplane during the plot, wanted to travel somewhere except Schwarze Auction but it's ok.

The soundtrack is also perfect as the characters storylines so now the main theme just gives me goosebumps, Japanese artists from Falcom are really have been done a great work during past 20 years and it is worth to draw your attention (MAYBE EVEN JUST FOR ONE GAME). I've come across with some error of NPC behaviour that most of the citizens don't walk as they should and just stood in the game. Maybe it was because of the port from PSVita, and according to the other condition of its port I wanna say that this is great. Combat with speed-up feature offers you a well gameplay during the fights. For example, in the older games (Trails In The Sky) that option doesn't exists on a regular basis and you need to hold RT instead of press it once. Pray for wellness of Falcom in foreign marketplace and want to see their products on other platforms (xbox, playstation, nintendo) because this kind of work should have been seen by others and also paid:)

From now on want to pass the trilogy of Trails In The Sky, seek the secret beyond Renne story and Joshua and Estelle, lovely ones! It was a pleasure to come through such the game, truly JRPG Masterpiece!

Movement. So flexible gameplay by the main character and backtracking feels okay except the moments when you didn't attain the skill what you should've, Genre of this game gives you all the space in the world so you can run where you want to and jump everywhere - not the best but good example of metroidvania.

Soundtrack. A big fan of synthwave and other electro-music so i was truly astonished by some locations theme (Empty bailey and Twilight Theatre), Considering the fact that rittzler made this game by herself, i can really say that the job was quite good, truly appreciate the work.

Lore and designs. It was very clever to create this game with PS2 graphics style so i liked that idea, the designs are good too, but the amount of enemies is too small so they can't even compete you, I guess the combat is not the good piece of its game so i can turn a blind eye on it. The problem is that here's not too much story and though it was in the beginning and the end but this isn't too much, wanted more

Received this game free but wanna say that price is a bargain for indie-game type, but want to warn you that the duration of pseudoregalia is around 6-10 hours

indifference
