Connection: The Nightmare Within

Bin nach 4 Stunden mit dem ersten Durchlauf fertig. Das Spiel hebt sich vor allem durch die Story von anderen Resident Evil Klonen ab. Hier sind es mal nicht die Biowaffen, die Zombies hervorbringen. Ist mal was anderes und weiß durchaus zu begeistern. Spielerisch ist das ganze sehr gut umgesetzt, man rätselt, erkundet, besiegt Gegner und erfährt durch Dokumente und Dialoge was eigentlich vorgefallen ist. Das Spiel ist grafisch durchaus gelungen. Bei diesem Preis nicht selbstverständlich! Die deutschen Untertitel sind nicht immer Perfekt, aber immer verständlich. Technisch hatte ich keine Probleme mit dem Spiel, wenn dann waren es manch knackige Rätsel, die nicht immer ohne Hilfe zu lösen waren. Es gibt 2 verschiedene Enden. Man kann zwischen Third Person und Fixed Camera wählen. Ein sehr gutes Spiel für wenig Geld. Absolute Kaufempfehlung für Survival Horror Fans!

Muito bom, recomendo!

NGL; I came fresh off from recording Tormented Souls 2 and slogging through that trash heap of a game, that this game, and it's charm and gameplay was a breath of fresh air, it was short, fun and I had a blast from start to finish and It didn't feel like a slog.

oyunu küçük bir ekibin yaptığını düşününce eksikler göz ardı edilebiliyor.. genel anlamda iyi bir oyun, oyunu sakız gibi uzatma derdine düşmedikleri için anlatmak istediğini kısa ve net bir şekilde anlatabilmiş, mekanikler ve oynanış genel anlamda iyi hikaye iyi en büyük eksiği vuruş hissi zayıf.. ama şans vermeye değer, keyif alacağınız bir oyun olduğunu düşünüyorum.. bitimiyle yeni bir oyuna bağlanacağı da kesin gibi, umarım eksikleri gidererek bu kalitede bir oyun daha yaparlar..

Rick Grimes in The Evil Within, with a dodge roll https://youtu.be/RNarI2XsELo

A very fun and classic feeling survival horror game that doesn’t overstay its welcome. I’ll be largely reviewing this game as a fixed camera survival horror game, as that’s my preference. I did give it a go with the over the shoulder mode after beating it on fixed camera, but it wasn’t really clicking for me in that camera style so I gave up about halfway through. Connection: The Nightmare Within is...surprisingly challenging. Maybe I'm just not that good at it, but I dunno...I play a lot of fixed camera survival horror and survival horror in general, and I found some segments of this game to be pretty damn tough. The game sets itself aside from many of its peers with the inclusion of a dodge roll. No, it doesn't really take away from the survival horror-ness of the experience, the enemies are quick and you'll be needing the dodge roll to evade attacks. There are a couple of combat arena sections that'll have you under high pressure to manage all the threats, so expect more reaction time/skill based action than you'd get in many fixed camera style games. Honestly, overall it was handled pretty well, but yeah, challenging for sure (with the exception of the last boss - that was not hard in a fun way, it was just too hard). The game has some really nice camera work and great framing of shots in the fixed camera mode, and some nice atmosphere with the music and lighting. It’s very cool how they used the “mind space” environment to tie disparate regions together seamlessly. I love to see the developers embracing their choice of environment and playing to the strengths of that choice. Now, for some complaints... Man the characters are stiff. It actually made the game come across as a lot more humorous than I am sure was intended, especially in conjunction with the hamfisted voice acting. I can’t say it was the worst offender for this (looking at you - Fear the Dark Unknown), but it still makes it a bit hard to take the game’s story all that seriously. Tiny text...I am constantly at war with tiny text and needlessly small icons, so, although this game is not as bad as it can get, it’s still got a bit of a leaning towards these things. In an era of accessibility, it is truly baffling to me that it isn’t common practice to just let players dial up the size of text to be comfortably legible without having to lean into the screen. The whole trend of having the inventory shoved off to the side of the screen is pretty tiresome too, for the same reason as the text. If you are going to be minimalist you had better have a good reason. That said, the inventory on the side in this game is justified (it’s just unnecessarily small) as it follows the Tormented Souls approach to puzzles, using a cursor to drag items from the inventory to the required spot. Anyway, don’t mind me, it’s not gonna bother everyone, it’s just a pet peeve - I know what I like and why I like it, and I like not having to strain to read/see things in games! Although I appreciate the addition of the low poly/old school filter option in theory, this game was absolutely not designed for it and it genuinely just makes everything muddy and harder to work with. Things that are supposed to be clear become sludge and it's just genuinely uglier. I love the oldschool aesthetic and I'd almost always take it over the glistening hyper realism and homogony of modern day graphical styles, but yeah...this filter is not it. Okay, issues aside, this game was a blast. Some nice authentic survival horror puzzle box level design, engaging and challenging take on the action that ends up heightening the challenge level significantly, some lovely atmosphere and music...and even at full price this is a good deal of content for what you pay. Absolutely worth a go!
