![]() ![]() This inability of movement makes some parts of the game harder and tenser than usual, and that’s a good thing in my opinion. ![]() ![]() Not being able to look down, for example, may annoy some players but in that enormous suit, you shouldn’t be able to, realistically. Gameplay of Narcosis seems a little bit off at the first glance, but in time, you realize that this feeling is a deliberate design choice. ![]() Because, you know, you are in a high-pressure suit which looks like a small submarine from the outside and is hard to puncture ( except for spidercrabs). And in this game, you don’t have a health bar, instead you have to look out for your oxygen resources. Slowly, but somewhat realistically, we fight back –with consequences: Every fight increases your oxygen use drastically. While being a little unresponsive and slow, these sections surely ascertains the distinction of Narcosis from other walking simulators. Anyway, these creatures sometimes a giant spidercrab that wants you to stand the f*** away, or a cuttlefish that wants to cuddle the f*** out of your face consist the action part of Narcosis. But who knows? All those “Kraken” stories should have some point, at least. While being non-fictional one of them, a great octopus is on the edge of being a myth. …In which, some deep sea monsters dwell those we generally see only in weird documentaries. And also, as an “unreliable” protagonist, the suspense is always at its peak: Because you can never be sure of what to expect in the next room, because you gradually go insane in your journey you are making under tons and tons of dark water… It all comes in a beautifully designed package. Loneliness, a deep sense of uneasiness, hopelessness. Even if you don’t like the genre, you should give it a try for the sake of its perfect ending.Īs for the atmosphere, did you like Cryostasis? I cannot relate to a certain element (except frozen methane textures), but the tone of Narcosis reminded me Cryostasis a lot. The other elements has their flaws, we’ll come to that but the narrative… It was exquisite. Mostly, though, this is a game about diving and rolling and sliding and shooting, and even when objectives pop up, the action never really slows down or changes.In case I haven't been clear, this mod is super fun, full of crazy stunts and non-stop action.Narcosis does two things flawless: Creating a beautiful & haunting atmosphere and telling a great story. One player may be carrying a briefcase of cash, and sometimes a race will begin, leading players through several checkpoints. Players may be targeted if they're doing well, letting everyone know where they are on the map so they can be hunted down. Nicely, if you happen to fall off a roof alone, you don't have to fall all the way to the bottom twiddling your thumbs: a simple keypress will let you respawn topside.There are some objectives, sometimes, among all the high-octane carnage. There's a couple of industrial maps as well, and of course, the best one, the rooftop skyscraper map, allowing for extended leaps through the air and long slides off of ledges, plus the awesome plummeting gunfights down to street level. Also perfect for not leaping out of the way in time and being splattered. ![]()
