The Sherlock Holmes & Dr Watson duo was very popular in Soviet Cinematography. Fun idea to include them. I wonder if there is a Cheburashka monster ;D

Kirk recommends a horror im-sim, I buy. I'm a simple man.

BRO I loved that the intro references SS2. This was a real good time! Glad you checked it out, comrade.

I absolutely love skeuomorphic design and control elements. Instead of getting more AAA stuff id probably play only once, 8 bucks sounds damn good time. Man, I'm getting old that this sounds great. Built a 4070, X3D machine with 1440/144hz and I mostly play Audiosurf, DOOM WADs and mods and Grim Dawn. Also Kirk, Grim Dawn review.. maybe..? It has a new expansion coming soon after years and years of incredible support changing the game into a slick and accessible yet deep classic styled aRPG.

Spark: Just here to comment on insanity effects and how we will always love them because we will always ALWAYS love the insanity effect of the game cutting to a still image after entering a loading zone that asked us to "Please insert disc 2 to continue" and going fucking nuts for like 10 seconds.

Judging by the reviews back from when System Shock released, controls were perceived as difficult as well.

Just heard about this game for the first time a few days ago. I was mind-blown that it is listed at under $10. Instant-buy.

This looks very cool. Ty for the review, i'm going to buy this

Just bought this game today cant wait to play it!

That reloading mechanic may put me off haha but I like the feel of this; could be a bit of fun :D

U deserve more views u give me subtle reviewer vibes like that other immsim guy with the cat and the cooking

If anyone wants a game with actually interesting unique ammo loading/unloading mechanics, I suggest Sunset Devils. Its a wild west game where you use mouse buttons and the wheel to do different gun actions depending on single action, lever action, hammer drops, etc. Not out yet but the demo is really good.

Looks awesome!

As always great video and so cool you're talking about this game. Having played System Shock with the traditional control scheme though, I have to say I just couldn't bring myself to do something similar now. It's like the tank controls of PC gaming. I understand how it can help build tension and make the player feel vulnerable, but I also think it's bad game design and kind of a crutch.

Have you checked out the GOG port of the original Resident Evil?

Having seen the discourse and pictures of Russia's Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, a Soviet ship is absolutely a perfect setting for a horror game in real life, not to mention one with sci-fi monsters.

was having fun with it but the weapon limit and no inventory ruined it for me

Anybody got a good way of dealing with the Rusalkas on level 3? Ammo is limited, so when you run out you're out, and they one-hit kill you in melee regardless of stats. Really enjoying the game, and feel it would be a shame to leave it unfinished.

PC only???

I like the sound of a lot of this. Except the reloading. Absolutely not on board with that. I have a tremor and sometimes struggle with precise clicks like that and it just sounds frustrating.

And hearing about the save system I'm out. That's a no go.

How does horror and comedy,2 polar opposite genres combine together?

Make Lennon proud? jk :)

Copying the exact controls from system shock is excessive, we're way past that.

Looks really cool but im not a fan only being able to see cross hairs instead of a first person view with a gun or weapon.

wish i could agree but the game is a disaster, it has worse controls and camera than system shock, you cant even look up, you can can only 2 weapons and only a small one and a big one so you are even more limited and ammo is very rare, you have limited save disks , the manual reloading is buggy, the writer is laughable, the game is way too dark and you have to waste so much resources to see where to and so many pickups are hidden in the darkness, the lighting feels broken, the game runs like absolute trash, i had to quit the game 5 times in a row in order to unload its memory so it doesnt run like a slide show, the garden area was really laggy and the frozen area was insufferably badly optimized. The game crashes multiple times and i lost progress, the game did not catch the full screen mouse properly so when i clicked at the edge of the screen the game alt tabbed which made it more prone to crashing. This is my first experience with godot engine and so far its the worst engine i have ever seen in a game, At some point i tried to run off a ledge to get to an elevated gap where the dead space plasma cutter and i got stuck in there and had to restart the game. I got stuck under desks so many times and i restarted the game so many time because i thought i screwed myself, the game is extremely unapproachable for way too many reasons, you cant even see your health without using an item, the inventory and the map menus are just bad on purpose, the game annoyed me so much that i actually would rather play bioshock which is too simple for me, but hey at least it worked. I dont hate the game, i just think it needs tons of patching and rebalancing and i am glad i supported the dev but the game just isnt good, tis a mess, it has the potential to be good but as of the last time i played it weeks ago, it was extremely rough. My view essentially was the same as graven, i want to like it and despite what everyone said and despite its problems i enjoyed it, but in the case of this game, nope, it beat me, i want to like it, but its insufferable. I just cant. Hopefully he make a better sequel.

This game looks prety good and unique in its art design, but I have to say, the amount of retro shooters with grey pixelated graphics is so absurd at this point I legit hope this whole "retro trend" is gonna die soon. It's been like 8 years since Dusk, just do something different.
