Topic: Pure Xbox Game Club - The Evil Within 2 🍊🕹️🚧 (Oct)

@Balta666 I didn't really find it scary at all - and I don't like horror - though there are a couple of moments that got my pulse elevated, these are few and far between.

@themightyant Humm, I will give it a try at least (need to check if they have some accessibility features for scaredy cats like myself 😅)

So while I dont want to give any promises, but given that Still Wakes the Deep seems to be quite a short game I might be able to play it this month.

I have started the game now.

@Baldbelper78 Hope to hear your impressions of it later.

@BaldBelper78 hello there, I believe it is your first time here so welcome! If you'd like I can added you to the tag list so you know first hand the game chose each month and how to vote. You don't have to to stick around obviously. Cheers

Unfortunately cannot download the game today because of the outage...

I finished this the other week. I really enjoyed the setting and it looked and sounded amazing. It was a great game to test my new TV and sound bar with 😂

For me, It had a similar story path as their other game, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. You learnt about your character and the environment as you progressed, coming to your own conclusions as you go.

@themightyant Agreed, I hate to use modern parlance in this context, but there is definitely a vibe you have to tap into and I can imagine if you can’t you end up with cries of boring and the like. I would love them to move away from horror again or at least be horror adjacent. Need to check out Little Orpheus, I had forgotten about that one.

I tried it for a bit but definitely way to stressful for my taste. Uninstalled 😂. Hope everyone else likes it though.

@Balta666 how far in did you get? It gets really stressful when things go quite wrong and you are navigating the under side of the oil rig! 😂

Almost an hour I would say. Just a bit after I got the lantern and I knew a crazy guy was lurking around

Yeah... that part is quite stressful 😂😂

Please do add me in. I was here before but am now back!

Played a little more and still love the characters and the setting, it's just the gameplay which is very average and lets the game down. Even before my first encounter I noticed a locker with press X to hide which gave you an idea of what was to come, but in reality I never needed to even use a locker to hide, the enemy is AI is both simplistic and irritating. It feels like one of those games where i'd almost rather they just committed to it being a walking sim than having the not so good gameplay. It lets the whole package down.

Played about an hour today. Not bad. I pretty much second most of what's said here, both good and bad. I'll carry on tomorrow and see where it takes me. One thing I do love is the vibe. Reminds me of classic 70s/80s horror films like "The Thing." So needless to say, I'm really intrigued thus far.

@themightyant My expectations were in check so the rudimentary gameplay didn’t bother me as it seemed to service the story and atmosphere, which is the main attraction here, and is way more interactive than say …Rapture or Dear Esther which was quite refreshing. I would have definitely been happy with a straight up walking sim though.

Well another round of price increases are up for tomorrow. I still have a couple of months stacked but most likely will be unsubscribing soon I am afraid...

@Balta666 didn't hear that. When? I might unsub myself.

@NintendoByNature at that time I mentioned it was a leak of official documents (it was pretty clear was not a fake) and has now been confirmed. For the same current price you no longer have day One Microsoft games and Ultimate has increased 3€/$
