It's a good stealth FPS, not a single dead area in the open maps without some little reward.
It actually gets a little easier the further you get into the game, but not easy enough to wade in normally.

Oh, and look up the "tahoe ring" in act 1, it is the single most important item in the game, as it prevents an awful enemy respawning mechanic

For a lovingly crafted immersive sim this is an absolute steal

Your word is MUSIC

I like supporting small developers, they seem very wholesome and friendly.
I liked the short free game for its squickiness in description and art. And respect the gall to put puns in a horror game, rough around the edges in all the endearing ways.
(If I could offer one suggestion please, variable text speed for us speedy readers would be nice)

Every few years I circle back here for a few games.

This is a battle royale game entirely free of toxicity, the player count isn't what it was but it remains fun and truly stress free.

Not a bad survival horror, especially made by a team of just 4 people and borrowing plenty of piecemeal parts from some older games such as Resident evil.

Surprisingly it has more bosses (3) than it does types of normal enemy (2)
Some of the puzzles are quite tricky and I suspect some of the nuance is lost in the English translation.

I wasn't scared at any point, but I wasn't bored either.

One of the best core gameplay loops I've seen, bursting with character and you can tell a lot of love went into it!

Of the whole game there are only two very very minor complaints:
1. Quick time events, although it gets a pass as they are fairly generous and only show up in succeed or die twice.
2. The final boss is a bullet hell, the saving grace is a last second slow time mechanic introduced just for it, still.

And that's it, all I could complain about, which is just incredible.

The combat is abysmally bad, mostly because:
1. Hit boxes are so wildly wrong, and the sprites are a mere suggestion of where to aim
2. There is no move cancellation, you are locked in and can't adjust accordingly to fights

And the main character is just so horribly unpleasant in every way, you want your protagonist to be someone likeable

IT ENDED WITH A SONG

It pains me to not recommend this game, as it seems fairly bug free and is full of life and character.

The thing that drags it down is the relative price tag, I've 3 hours in it and done more or less all content. And one of those hours was me forgetting to turn the game off. The map is exceptionally small, you could dash from one end of it to the other in about a minute, the vertical-ity helps but not too much

If it was half the price it would be a strong recommend, but I cannot justify the relatively huge price tag for this adorable little title.

ARK is great. I will change this to a thumbs up as soon as the devs fix the massive issue with constant crashing
