Red Lake

This is either a borderline unplayable nightmare or an excellent and deeply realistic training simulator for attempting to enter a house guarded by three vicious dogs in a world free from the laws of physics, space, time and reason. After being killed by reading a note and having the game restart me upside down twice, I am forced to conclude the former. Allow me to share my suffering. https://youtu.be/pot6fZqbrjE

I played about 10 minutes and that's more than enough to go through the problems in this game. First, there's basically no menu. There's a start game, "about us", and exit. Then you get in game. Every step you take you wobble violently side to side, worse when sprinting, and I'm pretty sure it could give certain people splitting headaches. Also, the "stamina" is almost nonexistent --- the guy is out of breath and panting like he's near death after sprinting for less than 3 seconds. The first spoopy ghosty thing to appear was a cat or a dog that ran across the screen, pure white. I don't know if it was supposed to be white, because it looked to me like a graphic model that had failed to fully load. Other random spoops appeared in the exact same spots with each playthrough (having died several times). There's no option to look down the iron sights of the gun, and there's virtually noth

To put it simple, Red Lake is the spiritual successor of The Slaughtering Grounds, but in his own way... With six chapters that offer some varieties Red Lake could be an interesting game to play but sadly that's not the case since the game also comes with a variety of bugs and issues. First of all, the enemies are badly designed and poorly animated. Also, the interior environments need lot of works. The only thing that stands out is the forest which is not that bad for an indie game. Aside from the graphics, the presentation itself has nothing positive neither. The cutscenes look so amateurish as is the voice-over. Throughout the game you will only carry a pistol. Its shooting rate is so ridiculously low that it's not even fun to use. Anyway, there's not many thing to shoot at except zombie dogs, crystal tigers and annoying crows. Again, the worst part of the game is not the combat

First of all, I would like to point out that there is no way you can possibly take this game seriously. That being said, the following review addresses the game as a joke it is. My friend got this... unholy masterpiece for me so that we all could have some fun listening to the entrancing stories told by Russkij Ivan (I assume that's the protagonist's name). Well, we did get a few laughs from that, but... It gets really annoying. Even though the death of the protagonist is shown simply by displaying a hilarious text box with "you died" written on it, it is tiresome. Every time creepy UFOs or ghost cats prey on your soul, you have to restart the whole chapter. Yes, even if you have to walk for ten minutes to the point where they kill you. Granted, it gives you couple of chuckles, but not for long. So, get this gem ONLY if you are not easily annoyed or enraged by the retarded game mechani

Horror FPS where the player fights monsters and zombies. ✅Good blend of horror, shooter, and quest elements ✅The music builds the atmosphere well ❌There's only one weapon type (a pistol) throughout the entire game ❌There's little enemy variety; you mainly fight zombie dogs, crystal tigers, and annoying ravens ❌The pistol is ineffective at longer ranges ❌You don't recover used ammo after death ❌There are no melee weapons or the ability to engage in melee combat after running out of ammo ❌There's no realistic battery system or a classic flashlight power source ❌The locations are monotonous, empty, and unattractive. ❌The world animations are poor, with leaves and bushes moving unnaturally while other elements remain stationary ❌❌ Verdict: Terrible , Bad , Mediocre , Decent , Good , Very Good (Rating scale for short games, retro indie simulator games, and similar) If you'd like to see mo

Wow...this game was amazingly bad. First of all the animations of the dogs you first encounter are bad. I shot one, and his corpse did somersaults at my feet. In a wacky game like goat simulator that may be acceptable, but not here. When you die you respawn at a checkpoint, but the ammo you had does not respawn with you, so if you run out of bullets dying will not bring them back. There were plenty of times that the dogs were a mile away, but still managed to bite me. I would hear the barks after I died. Game is glitchy and full of bugs. When you run, the stamina meter depletes very quickly, and your character will go into an asthmatic attack. I did not make it too far, could not figure out where to go or what to do. I lost interest quick as I found the game painfully dull. A masterclass in crappy game design and execution. Not worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMDDTRaO8DU&inde
