Super Lone Survivor

A sublime remaster of the original game, with lots of great new music and hidden content that extends the game's world.

Mildly unimpressed. I've seen several YouTubers play this game years ago, as has much of this game's audience, and now that the game is in my possession, I must say that I'm a little underwhelmed. Survival elements and self-care mechanics are whatever, but the main issue with the game that I have run into consistently is that your character disobeys you. Anytime there is something even mildly inconvenient that you want to render convenient, like a tunnel with only one enemy, your character will refuse, then give you a poor excuse why. You can clear whole dark hallways full of hordes of enemies, but one dark tunnel with only one enemy is too much for your character. The game will stop you from going down a dark hallway, it will give you the option to read books outside of your home, then tell you that you have to go to your home to use them, but it will happily allow you to chow down decaying, maggot-ridden chunks of meat. There are so many instances of this that it made me wonder whether or not I should even bother with half the game and not just go in as straight a line as I could manage, until I'm told the next hallway is too scary for my character. I'm sure there's some thematic reason for this, but in a game where my character's name is "You", I can maintain myself however I like with varying consequences, and said maintenance has several different endings to be achieved, there are better ways to present "I can't do this" than "because I don't feel like it". Other than that, the game is average.

one of the best games i ever played

When I was a kid, I watched a lot of horror games. This was one of the many, and I remember thinking I'd love to play this some day. And then I remembered it recently. But not the name. I searched the internet, looking up things like "Horror game with smiling protag that's a mask" and "2D silent hill inspired game." And I found it. Lone Survivor. This game is heavily inspired by Silent Hill, and is a straightforward 2D survival horror game. But the plot is not straightforward. If I have a word of advice: sometimes you just need to take your medicine and sleep it off, you know? Great game.

Very well made 2d survivor horror game in the shadow of Silent Hill. It will take you about 4 hours to beat and is well worth your time. This is an improved version of Lone Survivor for those who don't know, not a sequel.

I actually enjoyed replaying the game for the different endings and all achivements, it gets more fun the more I understand how to play more pacifely and keep high sanity. Besides that I love the story, it still leaves questions no matter how many times I play/read all dialogue. We get to adopt a cat too, aaaaa!!!
