BugZy's Review: INFRA - Debris, debris everywhere

[BugZy]

Loiste Interactive, the developer and publisher of INFRA, has kindly given us some keys for their game for promotional purposes. The following is my opinion.

In INFRA, you enter the world of a structural analyst, just another day at the extremely large and detailed office - and I say large and detailed because that is completely the case. About half of the building is unavailable to explore, but you can see through the many big windows that more than a lot of time and effort has gone into this building alone. The building is only a fraction of the game and it would already make up one of the best maps for an online FPS.

Anyway, your job turns from bad to worse when you go to visit and report deteriorating infrastructure. I will avoid spoiling any more of the game so you can experience it for yourself. Just expect to spend a lot of time exploring places that the people at Loiste didn't need to add, but added anyway, which made the game just that little bit more detailed and affected the overall amenity of the game in the long run.

The game can be compared to a not-so-scary version of Outlast, in that you are navigating dark areas with a camera. Unfortunately your camera doesn't have a built-in flashlight, so you carry one seperate (which if the developers had thought through, you would be able to smack some stuff with.) The camera and flashlight both have batteries that drain unbelievably fast though, so you must find some new ones lying around in convenient places. Not to worry, there are more than enough lying around!

As you can see, I am so far, very impressed with INFRA. It has some very meticulous developers and the environmental graphics are brilliant (the humans could use some more detail though, but the environment makes up for that.) The sound effects in the game make the game a bit eerie and - although it is a completely non-violent game - it does get a bit spooky (especially when you take a picture of something out of the ordinary, that sound caught me off guard a few times.)

The game plays nicely once you manage to load it up without crashing, Sometimes it crashes on launch, sometimes mid-game, sometimes when I'm trying to quit. No game is without problems, though.

Overall, the game is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone who likes exploration, attention to detail and/or taking photos.

I rate it 8/10 very detailed koalas.
