Left 4 Dead 2

Alone - Psychological Horror Single Player Mode
[SPOILERS] Feedback on the addon so far
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this is peak right here, my favourite mod and go-to option to play l4d2 with truly feeling alone (as someone who doesn't have much friends that want to play l4d2 with me), this is just right. I play Realism Expert on this and still seems balanced in a way, the best strategy is to just bomb rush and run through the map as soon as possible, I love the details this mod provides and strange occurances that happen

- Power-ups
Personally I don't think much of them, the benefit I get most of the time is shooting a smoker that grabbed me, the adrenaline boost is cool, I guess, but all the other power-ups kinda feel random sometimes, when things go hot and you spray, the bullets just randomly turn into explosives and you randomly get a laser, I was kind of confused in that department.

- Abominations and Souls
Now this.. This is it. A solo gamemode with the infected actually roaming around AND special infected. Last Man on Earth for some reason removed the commons which kinda neutered the game, felt lonely yeah, but also kinda boring. I love the referral to them as "Lost Souls" and "Abominations"

- Addon as itself
It's crazy to me that this is compatible with everything and anything, all custom campaigns, custom HUD, (almost) custom scripts, this is awesome, now this feels official...

[Good stuff goes from here...]
- Spooks, mechanics
Now this is where the real dealbreaker starts for me, the random events from time to time really make this shine and I feel like there's way more of where that came from. I got about 5 hours in this and boy was it creepy from time to time. I run into a safehouse with a tank on my tail, shut the door with a slam and damn, relief, when I load into the next chapter, the tank is still outside the safehouse. I genuinely shat myself, this is something I did not expect, eventually he leaves of course but damn that was kinda cool. Sometimes when loading into the next chapter.. The recording flashes red and white and all the infected just get nuked, walking around in that ghost state, though I do have complaints about this completely clearing my inventory, but I guess I take it since the infected outside all die too. Despite it being a solo mode, I find it interesting that you coded out of your way some slipping mechanic that would honestly be hard to notice otherwise (because when youre the last one alive, you can't grab onto ledges as there's no one to pick you up), but when a smoker pulled me off, wow, quite interesting. Sometimes, the static envelops, I walk around and hear a voice from far away, "Where are y'all? Coach?", now this is my favourite part, feeling broken from being alone, I don't like that the voice of Rochelle feels loud and out of touch, but the mechanic itself feels dreadful (which is good).

- Some things/bugs I found while playing
When slipping off, the game kinda bugs out, "MASH SHOOT"? "Don't slip."?? "Quite the slip."??? I like the mocking but in that moment I also just kinda got stuck there, I couldn't even press RELOAD to restart the chapter and had to completely reset, oh well.
The voice commands don't usually work, but when you come up to a microphone be it Whitakers or Midnight Riders, wow! Now I can hear myself! A small thing.

- Overall
I love it, I love it, I love it, need I say more
