Old But Gold..

The survival-horror gaming genre (in
my opinion) really started with the Resident Evil series. Being scared to death
while playing a game was completely new to me and I became hooked right
away. Since the first Resident Evil game there have been countless clones
released. Some good, some not so good and others that are just Ok. Obscure falls
into the latter category by offering a modern twist to the survival horror
genre: the teen horror flick. Think of Obscure as the ultimate culmination of
the movies Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer and the Resident Evil series.

The story behind Obscure revolves
around the high school of Leafmore. Strange and unusual events have been
reported happening at the school. There have even been reports of students
disappearing at the school. Five friends decide to figure out what is happening
at the school and lock themselves in the school after classes are over. Sounds
just like a script from a recent teen horror flick, doesn’t it?

The ability to play different
characters in the game is where Obscure succeeds at being different than other
survival-horror games. Usually survival-horror games center on just one
character and you controlling that one character. But Obscure does it a little
different. During the game you can have at least two characters under your
control at all times. Each of the five characters in the game has their own
unique abilities that make them useful during particular areas. At anytime
during the game you can change between the five students, or at least the ones
that are still alive. Which brings up the next interesting part of Obscure – the
survival aspect of the game.

The game starts off with five
characters but you probably won’t finish the game with all five of the
characters still alive. In fact, the game doesn’t end if one of the characters
die, the game will keep going until all five of the characters die. Early on in
the game Obscure made it feel as if I was playing/watching a modern teen/horror
film when one of my characters died. For example, if you’ve watched Scream then
you know that someone has to die during the movie. It wouldn’t be a horror flick
without it happening. Obscure is the same way, it always seems as if someone is
going to die, but the game doesn’t end. When one of your characters dies it
feels as if it’s part of the plot, but it’s not. You control the plot because
you’re in control of the characters. Unlike other games where you try to survive
with just one character, in this one you’re trying to keep everyone alive. One
of the remaining characters in the game can pick up and use the items of their
fallen friend.

One of the most surprising and unexpected games to dominate 2017 has to be that of Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds. The every-man-for-himself battle royale shooter picked up some serious momentum on Steam so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Good Game

Dead By Daylight could be described as a reverse Evolve, as this is a game where a selection of overpowered monsters hunt humans while they try to turn on generators, allowing them to escape. On paper, it sounds like a great time, but in execution, it is mostly dreadful.

First off, the survivors have no offense against the monsters whatsoever. As a survivor, you're expected to hide in tall grass/trees/corn or juke whoever is playing as the killer while simultaneously turning on loud generators. These generators take seemingly minutes to turn on, which consists of holding the right bumper while also pressing the left bumper for random timed quick-time events; failing to do so will cause a loud pop that alerts the killer to your location. Aside from that, the only other things survivors can do is heal each other, hide in randomly placed and oddly empty closets, and toss down debris while running from the killer.

Unlike survivors that play with a third-person camera, the killer is played in first-person, thus allowing survivors to have a chance at juking. Each killer has their own special ability like being able to teleport, turn invisible, and so on; not that they need them because just running around and attacking using gets the job done considering survivors take two hits to down. Once a survivor is downed, killers must carry their squirming bodies to conveniently placed meathooks around the map and impale them there where they will struggle for a bit before some kind of hellish monstrosity reaches down from the sky and carries them off.

In my experience, survivors rarely escape due to just how overpowered the killers feel. While I understand that Dead By Daylight is heavily influenced by horror movies, it doesn't make for much of a compelling game to have the cards stacked against survivors in the same way as in said films. On top of that, those playing as a killer seem to earn credits to spend far faster than survivors, even if they escape.

In-game credits can be used to unlock various items for characters that give them a better chance at surviving or killing; as if the killers need any help. There is also a leveling and prestige system in place, as well as seasons for ranks, though I'm not quite sure why anyone would care about those things; the game sure doesn't give you a reason to, or at least one it tells you about..

The game doesn't give you much advice or guidance at all. There is no training or tutorial aside from a bunch of text on-screen that must be manually flipped through and read if you hope to understand how to play at all. I could understand the developers forgoing a more engaging tutorial if this were a tried-and-true formula such as a platformer, but it isn't. I made the mistake of just jumping into a game and being completely and utterly at a loss for what my objective was, which is never a good look. game so fun with your Friend that my Reviewing for this game .
