GBG writes: "Another game that snuck up on me. The FPS/Survival horror hybrid "Cryostasis" had little fanfare or hype preceding it. I'm never sure whether this biases me for or against a title. On the one hand, I hate how crappy shovelware games are overhyped to make them sound so much better than they are, but on the other hand, being completely off my radar until launch often also means there's nothing to recommend a game... so is Cryostasis another foreign-made sleeper hit, a-la Serious Sam, or just another low budget stinker from a small foreign dev house?"
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.
