SENARA: The Sacrament

Искреннее не понимаю, как можно было сделать довольно атмосферные локации, приятное управление, управление инвентарем, звуки, но при этом забить на анимацию озвучки персонажей или интересных мобов. Меня смутило это еще на демоверсии, что, по сути, большую часть времени, я бегал и тыкался, но по факту никакого врага, от которого я должен испытывать страх или ужас - не было. В основной игре я за 80 минут встретил одного единственного моба, который стоит в туалете и не пускает меня разбить кувшин, уж простите за спойлер. Когда приближался второй час, то я встретился с чем-то вроде мини босса, который также стоит в определенном коридоре и просто ждет, когда я его убью. Да, если подойти он огрызается, но в остальном это абсолютно рушит атмосферу. В общем, задумка классная, есть все по канонам сурвайвал хоррора, но нет главного и для меня важного - проработки врагов. Никакого ужаса, напряжения нет. Да, есть пару скримеров, от которых дернулся. Да, есть аномалии, но это даже не мобы, ведь все, что нужно сделать - это по быстрому подойти к сгустку материи и тыкнуть в него ножом. Даже если забить на все это, ну не должно быть в хорроре на выживание так, что за 2 часа встречаешь два-три врага. Когда уже исследовал почти 70% всей локации.

The game started off promising, as a Resident Evil inspired survival horror, but by the end it was very frustrating. When the game relied on the classic elements of finding items to solve puzzles, backtracking through claustrophobic spaces and inventory/resource management it worked very well. It was janky at times but overall it was a fine enough experience; however, the game ended up relying too much on stealth in the later portion of the game and it became frustrating. Fishmen seemingly spawning behind you, enemy hitboxes reaching further than their model, enemies immediately being alerted the second you step into view, getting hit through walls made what at the start was a fun enough experience borderline unbearable. There were also odd design choices that detracted from the experience like introducing bottles to use as a distraction in the first stealth segment but then never letting the player have access to this again; or, as another example, later in the game there is a segment where you need to survive for 3 minutes but once the timer is over you still need to survive for what felt like another whole minute before the sequence was over. Had it relied on the basics this could have been fine, but the stealth mixed with the jank just made it a frustrating experience.

It reminded me of when my Korean granny invited me over one summer back in my earlier twenties. She told me my grandad had become a fisherman and it would do me good to get out on the open seas and feel the salty air against my skin and become a salty seamen in the process. It w as there when we were also kidnapped into a crazy Korean cult on board a container ship, I remember though that after then injected me with the J-Virus I went into a state of shock and dropped to the floor and then I did the dinosaur. Enjoyable overall, a lot of back and forth which is to be expected when a game borrows from RE. The game itself kind of relies on reaching certain checkpoints before things start happening, so if you avoid these you can explore the ship as much as possible without much hinderance. Had a great time streaming it! Good points: 1. Map - shows which doors are openable as you gain more access codes and keys. 2. Nice feature which doesn't lock you out of other endings, it has auto save check points. 3. There is no scarcity of ammo if you actually look around and get all the money. 4. VA although only Korean Bad Points: 1. Being able to heal when already at full HP 2. Inventory doesn't auto stack items sometimes 3. Story does fall a bit flat at times. L O L Sorry about your cat.
