INFERNIUM

Perfect example for why there should be a mixed/neutral button for reviews because I can totally see why this appeals to this small niche of masochist gamers, it checks all the right boxes with the games framework, but at least gameplay wise this was torture. The atmosphere and environment was top notch, loves the various areas you got to explore in this game, issue comes with some of the inhabitants of those areas and how they really badly want to make your time a living hell as they realise what kind of game they're in. Which from I experienced is a hardcore "permadeath" survival horror with no direction full of cryptic story and puzzles and scary enemies and put together to the level this game takes it is almost too much. I really had to lock in to one tap my first and second playthrough as I realised the game wont save your data when quitting, and will take you back to a checkpoint almost nowhere near where you quit from. And I mean REALLY lock in cause man this games exploration will cause you harm with how it tells you almost nothing. Now just like there are people willing to sink hundreds of hours into Rimworld or Dwarf Fortress, there will be and are people willing to do that to this game and major props to them, they arent human anymore and I applaud their rapture from our mortal plane. Overall this is a great game to gawk at the areas you get put in, if you can put up with the massive wall that gets thrown at you every so often
