Stølverk 最近的评测

I bought this because i am an idiot.
I still hate you Wildcard and Snail games

As with any sequel, FMF 2 falls very flat. I never understood why developers don't take the original concept and build or improve upon it...

The gunplay is noticeably worse; the guns feel and sound weaker compared to the first game.

You have access to the end-game weapon tiers early in the game, provided you found a few not-so-hidden upgrade points.

Level design is way worse than the first one; levels feel sloppy and uninteresting.

When you complete an action, a small video plays showing what you just did... have we gone so low in attention span that a video showing a door opening a few feet from you after pulling a lever is necessary?

Enemy design is worse than in the original, too.

Bosses are lacking; at the 6-hour mark, I fought my first boss, which didn't even feel like a boss.

The windable flashlight pisses me off; I miss the old lantern as a light source, which even amplified the ambiance.

Skill points and level-ups have been replaced with a card deck system. You may choose from active or passive abilities—only 3 cards, ONLY 3. In the original, you felt progression and were forced to make smart leveling choices.

You have only one ability instead of FMF's four abilities. Yes, you can customize this ability with the previously mentioned cards—ONLY IF you choose all active cards and no passive cards. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

It's like and not like the first one. I don't know—buy it on a key site or something for a few bucks if you have to; it's definitely not worth 25 euros.

HP Lovecraft's cat would be disappointed.

Edit
I am fighting against the second boss at a 7.2 hour mark and WHAT THE F have you people been smoking in the studio? nobody ever asked for some zoomer brain platformer doctor boss.

Edit 2
I am on the desert level and you Polish ♥♥♥♥♥ really force me to find and pull all 22 stupid levers around this maze, CAN THIS GOD FORSAKEN GAME JUST END ALREADY

Edit 3
Finished the game, I enjoyed it way less than the first one.
FMF - I enjoyed it 90% of the time FMF2 i enjoyed it 35% of the time
Did the developers even play the first one? Same studio but clearly different crew of people working on it.
LET ME SAY, if a player asks multiple time in the game, Can this game just end already. You have failed as a developer.

- Do not buy this, buy the first one and go play that -

Like i said earlier
HP Lovecraft's cat would be disappointed.

Achievements are completely bugged + you need a trash microsoft account...
They pop up whenever they want to or not at all.
Beat the CE with my buddy on heroic and i did not get a single achievement for it. (No achievement affecting skulls enabled)
Tried to test the first chapter solo heroic and got only few achievements for that...

Late review but...
Techland followed daddy Tencents rules and screwed over the Deluxe edition owners....
You guys could have given at least free microtransaction dlc crap for deluxe owners...

What I liked about Blood West

Annabelle.
Art style.
Developers appreciation of THICKNESS.
Western/Native theme with Lovecraftian enemies.
Fun to use weapons with different ammo types.
Highly interesting level design with plenty of secrets.
Graphical design.
Annabelle.
Interesting story that leaves you with speculation.
Good enemy design.
A couple of sexy enemies with physics ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Likeable characters.
Good voice acting.
Annabelle.
Captivating gameplay mechanics.
No difficulty slider.
Inventory management.
Item descriptions with lore.
Not a triple-A game.
Environmental storytelling.
Music and sound design.
Minimal handholding.
Items or charms that give you buffs and debuffs alike.
Did I say Annabelle?

What I'd like to see more of are enemy designs with mechanics.
For example, I liked how ghosts and spirits can be damaged only with silver and boo hags with golden ammo or fire.
It reminds me of Dark Souls 1 skeletons that can only be killed with blessed weapons. Mechanics like these force the player to think twice.
about engaging in combat with these special enemies if they aren't prepared.
Also maybe some sort of hardcore mode too?

What I didn't like about Blood West
Not really that I I didn't like but the boss fights were a little..... underwhelming.
Enemy detection is too forgiving.

Easily the best 10 bucks I've spent.
I will grab the DLC when I have money...

Although this game is a bit buggy and will definitely need more work.
It is a solid fun game with friends and why not alone too.

There is a concerning lack of John carpenter's The Thing inspired games so this fills a nice craving for more.

No idea how many devs are working on the game.
I´m guessing one or few, so people should give some slack to the guy / team
and there´s been a steady stream of updates anyways.

This game is like the very Chaos Gods themselves.
It beckons you so sweetly with promises of Quick dopamine with friends or surprisingly kind strangers.
Seduces you with Good Lore, Well written characters. Cool maps. Fun combat and game mechanics.

Then you give in and start to play it more and more, only to realize you´ve been tricked.
You spend many hours of your mortal life, Grinding away for mockingly rare Red items.
Do weekly events to earn that 1 Red dust, Run the Screaming bell over and over and over again
Endure a lot of poor connections. (Possibly because of the limiter setting)
Submit to Many paid DLCs, some that are clearly cash grabs

Is it worth it?

Yes sir,
Glory to the Dark gods over at Fatshark

Edit

Never forget 20gb rat ogre

Forgotten gem. We probably never will see a modern remake.
It has it´s jank and weird physics.

Jonas is much more likeable than Simon.
Chad Imperial German scientist vs Zealot American.

The story takes more grounded stand, and tries to explain itself more better.
The tank and plane scenes were perfect.
For historical and for fun reasons it makes sense, that you´re made to drive the FT17 rather than A7V
Somehow combat felt more functional than in the First one.
You actually had fellow soldiers from both sides helping you.
Not so much of lost company then...
More interesting enemy variety.
Possessed nurses (I see you devs)
Shield bearers
Werewolves


_____________________
Few things before launching.
_____________________

Set +dx10
As launch option in steam, To remove the washed out look.

Disabled AA in-game and multisampling
Then go to Nvidia control panel (Or similiar for your GPU)
AA in Nvidia control panel -> I used 8x
Vsync -> On or half from max framerate.

in game Tilde key to open console and type : setmaxfps xxx
(xxx) <- your own. For Stability, i used 60. too high FPS can cause micro stutter.

in installation folder modify the config file
Cfg.RenderDevice to 1
Cfg.FOV = 120 (Too high breaks the game)
Cfg.FOVRun = 140 (Too high breaks the game)

It´s so bad that, it´s somewhat good, Really wish there would be mixed option.
The enemy variety is lacking, although interesting.
The visuals are there and sometimes beautiful for an old game like this.

The story is pretty dumb and i don´t even follow it fully, Like you are a murican in World war 1, Fair enough, but wait there is vampires, zombies, ghouls, demons, dragons, necromancy etc. Sounds like a fever dream more than a serious story.

The game has a very massive potential for a modern remake, but alas i doubt it will happen.

Giving a negative review due to me getting all the way to the Chapter 8 and then i got CTD and now when i load any save i keep getting CTD. So i didn´t get to finish the game.

Launch options i used +dx10 in steam, To disable the ugly washed out look.
Disabled AA in-game and multisampling off and enabled them in Nvidia panel.
in game Tilde key console type setmaxfps 60 for Stability.
in installation folder i modified the config file
Cfg.RenderDevice to 1 instead of 2
Cfg.FOV = 120
Cfg.FOVRun = 140
So your eyes are not glued to the end of the gun.

-------
Edit
-------
I got it working again by setting the compatibility mode to Windows 98.
So i got to finish the game.

However i will leave the review negative for a few things.
The game drags itself on and on and on, The dragon part.... Just....
The end boss fight was just dragged on and is basically move left right and shoot.
The story as stupid as it was. The ending was so bad.

It has potential for a modern remake that´s all i´m going to say and better remake the story while they´re at it.

Music isn´t bad at all tho.

Maybe don´t choose Bad cop
and don´t expect the puzzles to be obvious.
