This game is the continuation of the first two games. I really loved the first game, I thought it was brilliant. I thought the second game was good and now we’re up for a third.
In this game you wake up in Nowhere as two characters. You play as a beak character or a green character. You start off in a dark place where a giant baby wants to kill you, squish you or play with you. It’s a bit unclear. You go from area to area with some kind of boss at the end of each and I think there are four in total. The game is not very long, not very hard, not very scary and there are no real puzzles to account for.
What I love about this game is the graphics and the art direction. The game looks fantastic. The dark grueling world seems to have descended into complete evil and ruin. Everything seems hostile and just standing in a corridor even the walls leans in over you. I love it! The game is very spooky. It’s a kind of cozy spooky and not a scary spooky that the previous games had. Where the previous games could have my heart race, this one makes me just slightly on edge.
As it has been before, the platforming and controlling your character is very bad. I got stuck several times, thinking that I must be doing the wrong thing as I keep failing, and then I look up on a tutorial and they do exactly the same thing. It’s just that the controls are so bad that it is partly luck based if you manage to pull off a jump and grab.
The game has several scenes where it’s just trial and error. There was no indication when you entered the room that you needed to be sneaking, so you get eaten at once. The only way to get past the chase scenes is by doing it again and again, because there are no clues of what you’re supposed to do. You just have to die and try again.
My greatest disappointment is that you play as two characters, and it is possible to play with a friend over network, but not in couch coop. I would’ve loved to play this game with my son, but we do not own two PlayStation 5 and I don’t think we would’ve bought two copies of the game either. Too bad, it was a missed opportunity of a great couch coop game.
My last criticism is that the story is a complete mystery to me. I have no idea really of how I ended up in this world, what the objective was and why it ended as it ended.
I rate this game as GOOD.
