Why does it never seem to crack the top twenty despite how consistently it wins duels?
davis_lelah

I played through most of it during a really cold winter myself, curled up with the heat on, which honestly matched the mood a bit too well. It still didn't fully click for me though, something always felt a touch too slow.

Frame_Rippin

tension totally different sure, but calling it survival horror is a stretch imo, its mostly a shooter with quiet bits between

LootRex2

Yo lo jugué hace apenas un invierno, o más bien al final de uno, y esas partes lentas que mencionas a mí sí me atraparon del todo, ¿en qué momento exacto sentiste que se rompía?
QuestLegend2

So the ranking algorithm just decided 24th is where this belongs, forever apparently, and every duel just confirms the same number over and over, doesn't it feel like the votes barely move it anymore, up or down.

Vinyl_Millet

Et clairement, moi aussi je m'étais fait la même réflexion pendant un long trajet en train, il devrait être plus haut.

Kuphal99

I did the same thing one autumn, binged it after a breakup, does anyone else associate this game with a specific rough patch like that

Vous êtes nombreux à dire qu'il devrait grimper, mais concrètement qui vote encore pour lui après l'avoir fini une seule fois

Loot_Sanchez

Face à Red Dead il perd en échelle, mais l'ambiance glaciale me reste plus en tête que n'importe quelle scène du far west

sporer_elva

It's been 24th so long the number stopped meaning anything to me, honestly I just vote and move on at this point
BerryRunner

Oh sure, let's keep it at 24th forever, seems fair.

Nobody's asking for miracles, just some movement after 346 duels feels reasonable.

no vengas con eso, yo lo terminé en tres noches seguidas y me pareció justo su puesto

I picked this up during a rough stretch a couple winters back, when I wasn't sleeping much and needed something to zone out with, and ended up finishing the whole thing over maybe two weeks of late nights, headphones on so I wouldn't wake anyone up.

Irma_76

Same thing here, late nights with headphones on, except mine stretched into a whole month instead of two weeks
harber_cordia

The combat can feel a bit stiff in tight spaces, but the way the story carries you through the seasons gives it a shape most shooters don't bother with.
BossRex

Does the survival horror side actually hold up, or is it mostly window dressing around the shooting?

CoopKnight4

I've wondered the same, for me the survival elements feel more like flavor than a real system you have to manage

Willie_12

I only put in maybe fifteen hours total, spread out over a few months, and even at that pace the horror bits landed, it's not just shooting dressed up.
FrameRex2

Solid pick honestly, just wish it climbed faster...

Ghost_Archuleta

Subir rápido nunca fue su fuerte, pero cada duelo que gana lo hace por algo, no por casualidad
ArcadeNinja

The stealth sections drag a bit longer than they should, especially early on, but the open levels genuinely surprised me with how much freedom they give you.
VinylRex

I replayed it this past winter and winter, and it just doesn't hit the same as the first time, something about the pacing feels off now.

La soledad convence más que el caos, aunque a veces cansa un poco
LootAce

Puede que me equivoque, pero comparándolo con BioShock siento que este apuesta más por la naturaleza y el silencio que por el diseño artístico exagerado, y contra Call of Duty 4 ni hay comparación posible en ritmo, son experiencias totalmente distintas.

QuestDragon93

I keep the exploration parts on repeat in my memory, that alone earns it the spot
Coop_Ferrer

Comparado con Left 4 Dead la tensión es totalmente distinta, aquí es soledad y supervivencia, allí es caos en grupo, y aun así los enfrento en mi cabeza y no sé cuál prefiero de verdad.

RetroSamurai

¿Y por qué no puede ganarle sin ser lo mismo?

ReggieLegend

Reminds me of quiet nights alone with it, or rather not entirely alone, my dog usually crashed next to me on the couch

Audreanne_1999

Honestly comparing it in your head to Left 4 Dead every time just proves neither one wins outright, and I've stopped expecting it to climb from that fight
Moral2003

Lo rejugué hace poco durante unas vacaciones tranquilas y me sorprendió lo bien que aguanta la parte de exploración, aunque el tramo final se siente apresurado, ¿a alguien más le pasó eso?

NeonPilot26

The exploration holding up after a replay says a lot, the rushed ending is the one real blemish
ComboRunner

La verdad, cada duelo contra Left 4 Dead me da rabia (no debería importarme tanto pero me importa).

SilentHunter

and yeah the rage is real, i still curse every time i lose a duel against left 4 dead for no good reason
SilentSniper

Merece estar mucho más arriba, la ambientación sola ya justifica el puesto.
