![]() ![]() It's one of the games which reserved a spot in my memory. ![]() I first got my hands on Obscure back in 2004, on PS2. I should also mention the game does indeed run at 60fps. The only bummer is that there is still no mouse support. However, this game was originially released back in 2005, so expect some outdated mechanics compared to modern horror.Īlso, this PC port is a re-release of an older port but adds native widescreen support and full controller support, among general optimisations to work on modern Windows systems. I recommend this game to fans of the classic RE and SH games, and looking for their fix on survival horror with some original concepts to it. That being said, what I hear fits what is happening, just that it isn't something you would listen to casually. Unfortunately, for me, the music is quickly forgettable so don't expect some Akira Yamaoka level of quality here. The good thing is that the controls are easy to learn and complexity is not needed here. The combat is basic, there is auto-lock, power attacks and standard attacks, but that's all this game needs I feel. It also features my favourite "game fetish" storyline in which everything is normal at first, but slowly devulges into the horror you came to expect, and you have to fight and learn the mystery behind how this all happened. The story is cheesy, not serious, but there is a charm to it. Speaking of partners each different character you can play as, and switch to at any time, have their own special abilities - so it is advisable to use different characters in the appropriate situation, I think this adds depth to the gameplay. This survival horror has alot of the classic elements you would expect variety of actual puzzles, limited supplies, dark and tense atmosphere, unique monster designs and since this is a co-op experience, reliability on your partner. ![]() This game utilises "fixed camera angles" like the classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill games but mixes it up with a cheesy high school teen slasher flick story, and combining gameplay from both franchises. I played Obscure back on the PS2 at its original release and remember being pleasently surprised. ![]()
