I love space horror so I'm going to remain quietly optimistic on this one.

I'm goign to try to avoid hype around this and let it hit me like (hopefully) a nice suprise.

Loved Dead Space 1&2 (let's forget 3 is a thing) so I'm really excited for this.

Pity it's still well over a year away. I assume the PUBG link is just for the sake of lore building.

And This is released TODAY! Just received my copy. Will be over xmas when i play this, GOW Ragnarok and The Quarry along with some other stuff but think this and GOW are the ones i am mostly looking forward to!

I need to find a few months free to play all the games in my backlog. TLoU2, Ragnarok, Callisto to name a few

ZXSpectrum · 2 Dec 2022 at 12:13

Yeah i needed to take some holidays before end of year so booked the week before xmas so i can get 17 days off to vegetate and play games.

Anyone knows how this runs on the PS5? I haven’t had a chance to read reviews yet and the PC version is a typical clown fest of issues.

ZXSpectrum · 2 Dec 2022 at 12:31

I have specifically not watched any reviews or vignettes etc. I want the pure experience. Might be £45 of trash but i love the concept and look as well as who it was made buy so fingers crossed.

Plainsong · 2 Dec 2022 at 13:03

Not watched anything either. Going in blind apart from the first reveal. Delivery is between 2-4pm today. Not long to go!

Same! I won’t get time to play for a few days though. I’ve read some reviews which aren’t massively positive, but I’ll form my own opinion.

ZXSpectrum · 2 Dec 2022 at 13:34

I am just hoping for a space version of The Evil Within. That didnt get great reviews at the time but i loved those games. As long as its got a decent story, there is some great suspense, tension and gory horror and its not a buggy mess and looks decent i will be happy!

Installing now woop!

41GB install and a 19GB patch.

MOOGLEYS · 2 Dec 2022 at 15:00

Done about 2 hours of this and yeah its pretty crap tbh.

Shame as had high hopes for this but there you go. No wonder the reviews were held back until release day.

Hearing a lot of this, think I'll return mine.

Always got to wonder about review embargos dropping on day of release.

Anyone want the free skin I got on pre-order?

Ali195 · 2 Dec 2022 at 15:13

Asked for a refund, downloaded but not launched, not sure why I Pre-ordered, never usually do it.

Amos91 · 2 Dec 2022 at 15:43

Glad I waited for comments here and review feedback before buying, definitely a sale game by the sounds of it.

Never really saw the point of pre-ordering, an SP game with dreary day 1 content.

Ali195 · 2 Dec 2022 at 17:24

Got a refund from Sony, after seeing the reviews I realised the money would be better spent on a game next year. How disappointing, I assumed it for be a solid game on console but PC issues aside it seems alittle lacking compared to the obvious prior series. Skillup review cemented me.

Plainsong · 2 Dec 2022 at 17:25

Not sure what @MOOGLEYS is playing but it’s great fun so far. He hates everything anyway lol

It’s like Dead Space meets Condemned if anyone remembers that old Sega melee game in the 360 I think it was. Pretty brutal.

Sound and visuals both top notch.

Not bothered about reviews it’s something I knew I would like.

Condemned was literally my first 360 launch day title and scared the hell out of me for days on end!
