Gamers Universe writes: "Anatoly Subbotin is PR Manager at Moscow-based publisher 1C Company, and one of the production bods behind wintery PC shooter Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason. Tipped as a Russian Bioshock and featuring disturbing lifelike thermal physics, Cryostasis sees player character Alexander Nesterov dispatched to investigate the frozen wreck of the North Star, an old nuclear ice-breaker. Once aboard the ruined vessel, our hero finds the majority of its crew dead at the hands of chillingly silent (or should that be 'silently chilling'?) allegorical monstrosities. Trapped between the merciless Antarctic climate and his mutant adversaries, Alexander must call on a range of makeshift weapons together with his own, extraordinary abilities if he's to unravel the mystery of the North Star."
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.
