GRID and Dirt didn't convince me to buy a wheel for my PC but somehow this game did

While it might not have a hitch, this scout is probably the most futuristic-looking one in the game and drives like a dream. That said, if you are driving using a G923 TrueForce wheel, I recommend turning down the Vibrotactile Force Gain in the settings. This thing will shake your desk apart.

It genuinely doesn't get better than this. If I can impart anything onto you, review-reader, it's that this game DOES live up to all the 9/10s, 10/10s, and 5/5s it got from professional news sources. This game is something we may not get again for a very long time, This is a GOTY contender, unquestionably.

The thing I respect the most is honest devs with a vision. These guys came out and said they planned on cosmetic packs to keep funding the game after release, and frankly, the first set they delivered can only be described as "The Forever Winter Aesthetic", and it's kind of a banger. Buy this if you want to put a little extra forth to support the devs. It's what I did, and because I'm a Shaman main. This game is one-of-a-kind.

I played through my first ending in one full sitting. I love this game, through and through. It's not too demanding of your time, it's not making you sweat over your perks and builds, it's not making you stress and beat your face against a wall until the wall caves. You're here for the weird, you're here for the silly pronunciations of British officers yelling at you, and you're here for the occasional side quest that suckers you in. This is a good game made by devs who cared. And that's what matters. Can't wait to get the other endings.

I bored out the starter pistol to fit 12ga shells, and then made it shoot twice the amount of pellets. I can justifiably say my character probably has dust instead of bones in their wrist, but it got me through two bosses. 11/10

Memes aside, the game's a ton of fun, but it's still early access for a reason. The enemy variety right now isn't the biggest and you'll be cycling the first stage a few times to get a run going that actually carries you through. But it's great! The customization is surprisingly robust, and the personality of the art style and item design is one-of-a-kind. And apparently you have to actually know how to cook to get the most out of the healing system, so go brush up on some cookbooks.

Really do recommend this game. It's great.

I held tab for 4 hours before realizing there were other buttons, thank you Sseth

This is a game that evokes the feelings that roped us all into the horror genre many years ago, while standing up on it's own as a testament to creative content. Play it because it makes you think of Silent Hill. Enjoy it because it's Hollowbody.

Alright, I'll concede, maybe games really do cater to the male fantasy

This game is simultaneously a spectacle to look at and also a tool to instill agoraphobia, claustrophobia, and nausea somehow all at the same time

Edit, and a real review here. This game is phenomenal. The scale of each level and the environment designs are truly something to behold, and each level feels very unique. I want to be crystal clear though, this is not a strictly a "vibe and hop around" game. The premise is simple, find your way from point A to point B, but that's filled with stamina management, butt-clenching jumps, lots of deaths and resets, and some frustrating "how do I even GET THERE" moments. But, that's what makes this game unique. I can understand the comparison people have made to Celeste, and it's certainly a reasonable comparison, especially after you unlock a few upgrades. But I also believe it stands on it's own as a truly unique game that almost sets out to give you a platforming experience with a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
