Among the Sleep - Enhanced Edition

Прошел 6/10

Almost great I want to underline that there is a lot to love here and I'm very glad I played this all the way through. Hopefully this does not come across as if I did not. The core concept is quite clever. A lot of horror has us focus on a protagonist who has Little power and much vulnerability and a literal two year old as a player character is probably the one that is the truest of without actually getting into someone that just wouldn't be any fun to play as at all. It's over a decade since I first played and loved the first two Penumbra and the first 2 AMNESIA Games. I quite like that this functions as a smaller simpler version of those and it doesn't feel like a rip off rather than an homage. However there are just some decisions that each on their own are fine but come together to make this less than it could be. Stealth was probably where I was the most engaged as far as gameplay goes and there's just not that much of it. It requires you to hide under things which means you can't use the teddy bear light source despite this being so dark that I ended up giving in and adjusting the gamma way past what it suggested. Climbing can feel awkward when it sort of stands in for jumping since you're sort of climbing in the air. I quite like that you crawl faster then you run though there were times where I was trying to hide and somehow the thing was too low for me to crawl under and other times where I felt confident I wasn't supposed to crawl under something because it looked so low but I still could. The ending really didn't work for me and I was not even remotely surprised when I found out that it was not the original though thankfully that one can be accessed in the museum which is a sort of interactive behind the scenes thing. The fact that this is short and that the puzzles are incredibly simple Is not in and of itself bad I just wish that it had developed its ideas more over the course of those. It's also not really a problem that this is primarily a walking simulator that the physics simulation is at least slightly clunky and there is very little experimentation you can do . Except for how similar this is to aforementioned franchises how much better they do these things . Mildly recommended
