Gloomwood

Yeeeeep it'll scratch that itch. That Dishonored, Thief, itch. Yknow the one where the world feels somewhat alive. Or at least *lived in.* ImSim vibes. Good Bloodborne too. GloomWood blends direct yet dramatic mechanics to provide a surge of excitement. For example, traveling throughout an area until you find a lever and *click* secret tunnel near the start of the level, right under your nose or the controls to a gate. It's nothing new, but seeing how each shortcut falls into place making not only the immediate area but the whole city larger *and more easily traversed.* Or maybe getting a new tool and seeing how much of the world I wasn't aware of and how my perception changed. The world does a good job of telling stories naturally. Building connections, tunnels, environmental storytelling/posing, random holes in buildings, etc. Tack this on to some cosmic horror, Victorian hunter vibes with corpse recovery, testing, disposal.... and creating serums (to take on temporary "changes") while learning more about the beasts of this plagued city and the forces at play. If you're already interested in it, it's probably the type of game you'll like.

Gloomwood has to be one of the best modern day immersive simulators. The game is heavily inspired by Thief: The Dark Project and Thief 2, as well as other prominent old school immersive sims like Deus Ex 1. Gloomwood is basically if Thief: The Dark Project and Thief 2 had the skin of Bloodborne's victorian era theme and cosmic horror setting. With the people of the city of Gloomwood slowly transforming into beasts. Unlike in Bloodborne, you do not play as the hunter and unlike Deus Ex 1 you do not play as a cybernetically enhanced soldier. Instead you are a doctor who can die very easily and the only way you are gonna kill enemies effectively is via stealth kills. Whether its back stabbing enemies, shooting them with your revolver or shotgun, setting them on fire, or blowing them up with explosive barrels. Gloomwood also has horror elements in it, and as someone who never plays horror games I absolutely loved it. I 100% recommend Gloomwood if you like Immersive Sims like Thief: The Dark Project, Thief 2, or if you love doing stealth kills in Farcry, Gloomwood also scratches that same itch.

I Dont Know Whos Reading This But This Is One Of The Best Games Ive Played Ever

Haven't finished everything yet, but this is another new blood game that just kills it. I'm not the biggest fan of stealth games but this one does it right, there are tons of ways to kill one enemy, like luring them with loud noises before back stabbing them, blowing them up with explosive barrels, luring them right into a cleverly placed bear trap all while sneaking away into the darkness. It just works in a really compelling way, and once you get to the city area it's genuinely breathtaking. I only really have one problem with gloomwood and that's that I don't think the limited save system (like a lot of horror games have re4, Signalis etc.) works for what this game is going for. stealth games will always be a little bit trial and error so having to backtrack to save every time you manage to kill anther two goons so you don't have to do it again if you die kind of sucks that being said there's a quick save option I just figured out about that fixes this problem

so good

É um jogo incrível, Steam!

I love it, basically bloodborne, thief and resident evil all mixed together in a wonderful package.
