Lone Survivor is a 2D zombie game with a survival/thriller focus that will absorb your soul if you let yourself get immersed in it. The graphics are pixelly and the soundtrack is awesome, and the map system has you turning corners in the building you're in, so you feel like you're walking around in a square rather than a moebius strip. Mostly you sneak and shoot your way past zombies, but hiding spots and ammo are both limited. There's sanity and health and hunger, but there's no bars to keep track of; the screen changes filters and the character will make remarks about his status. The exploration is fun because it's kind of urging you along. It's a constant push from "I need more food" -> "I'm low on ammo" -> "I'm going insane from not using my flashlight" -> "Yes, two bullets" -> "Ok I got a can of fruit" -> "What the gently caress do you mean I need a can opener" -> "Well there's some batteries at least" -> "Maybe if I take one of these pills I found something will hazzxckjjnm" Fake edit: Also it's basically Silent Hill and sometimes the walls are made of meat Soho Joe fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Aug 1, 2014 |
