G4TV writes: "Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason is an especially appealing game for fans of horror who want something distinctive. It's a slow, brooding, atmospheric journey into interactive story telling and very different from other recent games in the spooky genre. Other player may be turned off from the repetition of both foe and corridor. In a larger sense, it all makes sense and adds to both the story and atmosphere of the game – the claustrophobic steel hallways, the desolate white wasteland awaiting outside, and the fear that every fight may be your last. If you don't mind the frozen nature of the gameplay, this is a ghost story well worth experiencing".
RPS:
"Cryostasis belongs to the same class as the S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Metro series, namely weird-as-heck Eastern bloc shooters. As an FPS it isn’t as good as anything either of those series’ offer, but the story it tells between the gun bits is satisfyingly mysterious and surprisingly touching."
Den of Geek continues their 31 days of horror games series with a really chilling game, Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason!
Videogamegeezer highlights three PC-only first-person games that need to be re-released onto the Xbox One and PS4, also suggesting improvements.
Among the Sleep was pretty good. Not all I was hoping it would be, but still a very strong title. Never played, naissanceE and Cryostasis, while interesting, was very, very poorly executed.
There are a number of titles that I feel are more deserving of a new audience.
Soldier of Fortune, made by Raven again like SOF2.. That multiplayer was so good back in 2002.
Nice score for a game I had never heard of before.
Great game, reminds me of penumbra, got it in steam. Personally I think it's one of the scariest game this year. Oh, and the game requires a pretty good PC, I have a dual core 3.0 Ghz and a 9800GT and the game lags a lot on high settings...
This game has been getting mixed reviews. Some love it, while others hate it. Those who hate it tend to be gamers who play nothing but fast-paced action games.
Good thing there's a demo.
