Oldie, but a goldie :) In my opinion that's the de facto Oddworld experience. None of the Oddworld games were ever as polished as this one. It's humoristic without being obnoxious and breaking the fourth wall all the time. The secret areas are marked in a special way, so you don't need to die in every possible way to look for them. The theme of the game is grim and hits differently after many many years. This game has everything I would ever want :)

This game is literally unplayable IMO. Changing keybinds is almost impossible. I am not going to press Esc to navigate to menu and WASD to move. This is one of the very basic things that I should be able to change before I start the game. I cannot even used AutoHotkey to circumvent this horrible keyboard handling. My character is flailing around after I load to the game, yaddi yadda... Some roleplaying nonsense... I don't need this, I just want to play the game, and after almost 2 hours of gameplay all I got from this "product" is frustration. The beginner experience is the worst I have ever experienced in any game.

Po 30 godzinach wiem tylko jak rozpalić ognisko i przeżyć dwa dni, ale bawię się przednie :)

One of the best in the genre

It's just fun :)

WADY:
Łatwo zapominalna. Napięcie znika, w momencie gdy wiesz, że nie da się umrzeć. Niektóre części są bardziej irytujące niż straszne (Leon). Chodzenie po tunelach to 70% rozgrywki. Zakończenie jest... konfundujące. TDD budowała napięcie aż po sam koniec. SOMA zostawiała gracza z wieloma egzystencjalnymi, ciekawymi pytaniami. Mechanika "dziecka" jest męcząca, bo po prostu zmusza do zatrzymywania się co kilka minut. Świetnie, że postać się przejmuje swoim dzieckiem - dla mnie jako gracza ono jest po prostu kolejną mechaniką, więc słuchanie Tasi w pewnym momencie jest już irytujące.

ZALETY:
Grafika jest lepsza. Potwory potrafią zaskoczyć, przynajmniej na początku. Animacje / cinematici są oczywiście dzięki temu też ciekawsze. Są odniesienia do oryginalnej Amnesii, ale jeśli muszę to pisać, żeby wymienić jakiekolwiek zalety, to można się domyślić, że za wiele ta gra nie ma do zaoferowania :/ A, przepraszam, jeszcze jedno - można swobodnie skakać i biegać pomimo zaawansowanej ciąży :)

Don't watch this game. Play it. Experience it like a newcomer. Let yourself be surprised. Fight for your life. You'll enjoy every goosebump.

Simply doesn't work.

I am really torn between recommending this game and not doing it.

It has a simple premise and it executes it well. It is as stereotypically heroic and american as you can get. It is really fun and challenging... well. Unless you want to cope with abysmal amount of bugs it has. The game is very simple and it's on the market since 15.10.2015, so you might think that the bugs are almost non-existent. You *might*...

If you are a casual player that just wants to destroy stuff and have fun from it, I highly recommend this game.

If you are a somewhat hardcore player that strives for challenging gameplay, you'll be satisfied for like and hour or two, then it'll start being more and more frustrating. Ironbro challenge on Hard is very fun, unless the game behaves correctly. Just as an example, if you eject yourself from the machine-gun bot right as helicopter comes to grab you at the end of the level, the character is teleported to the upper right corner of the level. There's a very high risk of not getting on the platform then and getting killed, which is fun for a first 10 times. There are ton of bugs like these, so brace yourselves if you want to go for the challenge ;)

It is definitely NOT worth 14dollars for how bug-filled the product is. For a casual experience, sure.

It has nice campaign, ok, but when it comes to multiplayer, this game's a joke. You have to fiddle with it a LOT to get it working properly and still it's unsafe for an end-user to do such things as port opening. One mistake and you can do more harm than good. If you don't open the required ports, you will play with abysmal delays in multiplayer. Until they fix this, I do not recommend the game.
