Lunacy: Saint Rhodes

Juego muy flojito que no da apenas miedo y las mecanicas muy basicas

-

Die Spielmechanik gefällt mir leider gar nicht. Alles sehr generisch und nicht mehr state of the art.

Lunacy Saint Rhodes é um jogo genuinamente bom, principalmente quando consideramos que o terror cósmico é um universo bem rico e com diversas capacidades, mas por algum motivo inexplicável, a maioria dos jogos desse tema são bem meia-boca, Lunacy é quase como uma brisa de ar fresco no quesito qualidade. Um jogo muito bem construído, ótima ambientação, bons puzzles, graficamente bem bonito e com uma história interessante. Para aqueles que são fãs de jogos de terror, fica aí a genuína recomendação.

Meiner persönlichen Meinung nach hat das Spiel vielversprechend angefangen, und dann ca. ab der Hälfte drastisch nachgelassen. Anfangs dachte ich "Oh cool, schönes Haus, schöne Gegend, das könnte was werden.". Spannung fand ich war auch da, gute Stimmung, an sich nett. Dann, ca. ab der Mitte, find ich wird das Spiel nicht nur irgendwie "Kitsch-Horror", sondern auch sehr nervig. Es gibt super viele Sequenzen, die komplett die Stimmung auf ein gestresst/genervtes Level setzen, statt auf dieses schöne angespannt sein, was man eigentlich bei einem Horrorspiel will. Das Ende fand ich grässlich schei***e. Wie kann man eine gewisse Sache einbauen, meist generell schon nervig ist, und dann aber auch noch Verfolgung mit einbauen, und Türmechanismen, die gedrückt gehalten werden müssen, während man den Verfolger weder abschütteln noch ausbremsen kann, lediglich für wenige Sekunden, was deutlich zu kurz ist. Ich rede von der Stelle wirklich direkt vor dem Ende, will hier nicht spoilern, daher so schwammig formuliert. Zusammengefasst: Ich habe das Spiel im Sale für 5 EUR gekauft, was denke ich für die okayischen 2-3 Stunden, die ich hatte, fine ist. Generell finde ich das Spiel allerdings einfach nur einen netten Versuch, der furchtbar stark nachgelassen hat, und mit Horror am Ende in meinen Augen wenig zu tun hat.

I bought the game without reading other reviews since in my experience sometimes they are misleading. The game is not really worth 20€ but 5€ ist fine. The graphics might be a little outdated etc. but still the atmosphere was good. I liked the house and the "jumpscares" in it. (Not really jumpscares but well placed ghost stuff; like her staring from ceiling onto you etc.) I also liked that it was not only about the womand in the house but also some other locations. (Will not spoiler here.) The difficulty was okay. There were some parts I did not understand in the beginning (how to attack/defeat the ghosts). The catacomb level was a nightmare since you don't have a map and have to activate several "balls" to be able to open the door. Also the fact that you could not really kill the monster down there. But in the end, the story was interesting and two endings in a game is always pretty cool. Luckely I got the good one in the beginning. I finished the whole game in like 4.8h. There were some laggy parts (where the room is expanding; you could really feel how a "resize" was applied to everything). The riddles in the house (which seem to annoy many) were not that bad and after some time you could "destroy" the obstacles to shorten the ways. And no: it is not like you always have to run in the house to avoid the ghost. 90% of the time I could walk around there without any issues. I think there are a few "hardcoded" events but else you are pretty free to move around. tl;dr I liked the game but it is only like 25% of Resident Evil or Silen Hill. Biggest issue are the graphics and the "outdated" gameplay (the sneaking and "fighting"). The story is good and not the "usual" stuff you will find in a horror game.
