Hollowbody

Premise? Awesome. Vibes? Elite. Combat? Er... Unfortunately that's a bit of a deal breaker. I can't avoid combat, and you can't actually lock onto enemies and frequently miss. With the awkward movement, this results in easy and very avoidable deaths with improved design. Unfortunately I'm dropping this one.

A good classic horror with a brilliantly conveyed dark and oppressive atmosphere.

Very short and fun game.

I do love this game, but there are a lot of issues I have with it. First off, this game is a great horror game and the atmosphere/music were extremely well done. My issue is both the story and the saving of this game. There should be more saves. You can lose maybe an hour worth of progress if you dont backtrack a lot just to save and that can get very tedius. When it comes to the story, I feel the dev had more to say or do but didnt do it. The ending is extremely confusing, and a lot of questions were left unanswered. I would wait for a sale on this game. Its not bad at all, and I was LOVING the first 2 hours of gameplay, but does need some work

The author really worked hard, well done. The game was created with a great love for classic survival horror, but presented in a very unique, British style. The story is good. Special thanks for the dark, gloomy visuals and soundtrack. There are some flaws, but there are plenty of advantages. A very beautiful game and a creepy one at that. I recommend it.

very good! this game is a love letter to Silent Hill 2 that retains its own identity. if you like any of the classic silent hill games this is a must play! cant wait to see this teams next project! that being said it does have a couple issues, all of which being performance. (in no way do i have a good PC so theres a chance my problems stem from that) for almost my entire first play through i pretty much exclusively used melee weapons (primarily the guitar) and the hit boxes are WHACK. if i was attacking an enemy that was directly in front of me, no way was a hit landing, i would phase right through them; but if the enemy was to my left right or rear, that hit would land. my second was the graphics options. 4 things you can change: resolution, antialising, graphic present, and texture details. I could not tell you the difference between ultra detail and potato mode. by no mean does the game look bad (i love the way it looks), no i say that to preface my actual point (which i acknowladge might be due to my mid pc). HOLY MOTION BLUR BATMAN! if you are using free cam in the open world sections, which is pretty much necessary, it is a smeared blury mess. or theres no motion blur and my computer truly is that bad, but the game ran generally fine so IDK. my last and least gripe about the game: i have no idea when this game is taking place in context to the events within the world? i know it mentioned the cities been condemed and barricaded for 60 years or whatever and that even checks out with things you see in the enviroment, but im really confused as to how there are still groups of survivors? there are survivors we run into who are in their 20-30s, where they born and raised in the city? how is there are newish mass grave of people in the middle of the city if its been quarentined for 60 years, where they born here, where they trespassers? maybe theres something i didnt read but this makes no sense to me. this is one is truely a foot note, im just still thinking about it.

Hollowbody is a pretty decent old school horror game. You can definitely feel that it takes inspiration from the Silent Hill games. The game is very short and the combat is too easy. I wouldn't recommend buying at full price. However, if you're a fan of this genre of games then it's definitely worth checking out when it goes on sale.
