I'll mention right from the start that I do not dislike the novel itself.
The negativity of this review is all about the publisher solely: JAST USA
The old pre-steam versions of the game that you could've easily download wherever on the internet had the NSFW content included by default, which is somehow essential for plot comprehensial. In case of this release, you'll buy exactly the same product but with some artwork and voice-tracks being cut from the game. Instead, they make you buy the content that was supposed to be there all along for extra 5 bucks.
Not only that, but the novel code didn't aged all that well, and it seems for me that they didn't bother renovating it even a slightest bit since the game runs like garbage sometimes: it's freezes occasionally, crashes, corrupts some of your saves. Maybe some of those are the case for me only. But who the hell gotta know that?
I'm very dissapointed by that greedy desicion. Considering that I've been waiting for too long for a discount to appear before buying it. And it's really a shame that I've spend so much time messing with the content just to make it as it was, that I can't even retrieve my cash for it back. Now that's sucks.

I think I should start by saying that I was born at the beginning of the millennium, so I didn't start playing this game too long ago—just a few years back, to be more specific. However, the classic Doom series has easily become one of my all-time favorite shooters.

It has everything that the genre should offer for pure, unfiltered fun. Despite its honorable age, it's still incredibly balanced in my opinion, especially when it comes to the weapon arsenal. There's no weapon that feels useless at any point in the game, thanks to how the situations vary from map to map.

A huge respect to the team at id Software for creating this masterpiece. It remains fresh even today, and I'm confident it will continue to do so for years to come.

It was a cold, winter night. My friend gave me his CD with a game which then gonna stuck in my mind for an entire decade.
I can still feel those emotions that the game was reflexing back on me, from the glimmering monitor. The atmospheric, dark caverns that surrounded by the hoards of all sorts of creepy n' nasty creatures. Ambient sound-work, that is still somehow.. Strangely relaxes me, every time when i'm starting to investigate the underworld all over again.
It is the pure magic of game-design. While in-game mechanics might be still not so great, even for it's time, i should say that they're quite unique. Thanks to the original creators and folks behind Arx Libertatis project, that resurrected this gem forgotten by many.

Однажды, возымев возможность поиграть в сей нетленный шедевр, я утратил былой, более пессимистичный взгляд на жизнь.
Углубившись в самостоятельное исследование, могу с уверенностью признать мое глубочайшее уважение к автору идеи, а по совместительству одному из главных разработчиков команды Psykskallar - господину Андреасу Рённбергу (Andreas Rönnberg). Он подал отличный пример того, что из себя должен представлять настоящий психологический хоррор, как, и самое главное, более ярко передать эмоции главного героя, с которым Андреас всецело себя ассоциирует (собственно, текстура Саймона принадлежит именно ему), и позволить нам, игрокам, примерить на себе состояние разбитого и целиком подавленного человека. Человека, чья жизнь, казалось бы не могла стать хуже, вплоть до тех пор, пока он не лишился возможности ходить, вследствие инцидента.
Действие игры происходит в книге, за авторством самого Саймона, который по совету, или быть может, по строгому указанию лечащего врача, стал записывать в нее свои самые потаенные страхи, обиды, переживания. Те, со временем, приобретают более гротескные и сюрреалистичные формы, вплоть до обезображенных монстров с вывернутыми ногами, ссылаясь на свое собственное физическое состояние, будучи прикованным к инвалидному креслу. Мы посетим самые ужасающие закутки человеческого сознания, а в некоторых местах, станем ловить себя на мысли, что это все похоже на нас самих. Любимая Саймоном девушка, что не проявляет к нему никакого интереса, грубо отвергая того. Стены колледжа. Лекарственная терапия. Самобичевание, и ненависть ко всему окружающему. Глубочайшая фрустрация.
Во всем этом, я смог узнать себя.
Для меня это больше, чем просто игра. Это именно то, что помогло мне преодолеть свой собственный "рубеж", в большей степени осознать свою персону. Я ценю труд команды, что был вложен в этот скромный F2P проект.

Du ändrade mig.
Tack för Cry of Fear, Andreas!
