Unfortunately this isn’t going to help the game from being good, they can patch it all they want. It’s bland as all hell, and it fails to even somehow be remotely shocking with all the edgy imagery they used for the game. It’s just very, very sub-par.
“bland as all hell”
Kind of the point there moron! Get your brain checked.
No, it should be the exact opposite. I’d tell you to get your brain checked but unfortunately amoebas don’t have brains.
Dante’s Inferno (the book, not the God of War game) was interesting and not bland. This one i don’t know
You can patch a walking sim without anything interesting going on, its still a boring walking sim.
Far to true! Nothing can save this game. I guess we’ll have to wait until that other game comes out that takes place in Hell that has guns. I think it’s called The Scorned or just Scorn. It looks like it at least has some “game play” in it.
I will get this game when it’s $4.99 on Steam…

Honestly man when i first saw the game, it was a black and white walking sim heavily scripted without any interesting going on. I dont get why anyone got excited for this, they were going on “hur dur this is the horror game i am excited for” when i didnt see this as a horror game or scary. Didnt see any gameplay either or atmosphere, i felt it was gonna be a polished boring walking sim but its worse its a boring duke nukem forever walking sim.
Why duke nukem forever? DNF is good tho
Yes it is

I’m probably in minority here but I do like this game, maybe partially because I was never expecting anything more then walking experience from this game.
I just yaared this, glad I did, sounds like it’s not worth playing, let alone buying…
