Thoughts on game?

Yes this game is not as good as Until Dawn. No supernatural element, no good scares, fairly booring character with a ton of cheesy lines. The platinum was really boring aswell. Still  worth a playthrough if you can get it at the right price. Little Hope looks promising atleast, i really hope we get some witches or anything supernatural tbh. Don't want any serial killers or dangerous chemicals, that just doesn't do it for me anymore.

that might be a good thing for me.  I really enjoyed the first half of Until Dawn much more than the second half.  Once they introduced the supernatural stuff, it went off the rails.

If you enjoyed the first half of Until Dawn more then the second half, chances are high you'll like this game more then Until Dawn. It's not a bad game, it's just not my cup of tea since i prefer supernatural stuff. When Until Dawn unveiled the Wendigo it blew my mind. Wasn't that into it when i thought that Josh was the killer but my interest peaked when i saw wendigos =>

Good stuff.  Yeah thinking about the Uncharted series, the only stages I did not like were the one with the supernatural baddies, just not my thing.
 

 I really enjoyed Until Dawn overall (sounds like it is higher quality than this one which I will play).  But the dialogue and scenes building up were great until the big reveal (still solid after that).  I think the character’s name was Matt or maybe Mike, that dude tripped me up.

Several fun and a bit scary cutscenes that was made by a skillful team.

 

Expect to sit on the edge of your seat, even more so if you play with friends. 

 

Will take some time to get all the trophies but there are several ways to enjoy the game.

 

F-U-N

This game is meant to be played as a co-op experience right out of the gate. Which is what I did. I turned the lights off, had a few drinks and enjoyed the next 4 hours.  Yes, the game starts slow but it picks up over time. I had a great time knowing my actions were screwing with my buddy and vice versa. We tried to keep everyone alive the 1st playthrough but we ended up killing each other. Had a blast doing it too.

 

What made it really cool is that I discovered this game is based on a true story. You can find the History Channel's version of events on YouTube. Even the real life notes that were left behind made it into the game as collectables which gave me chills. Again, it's not going to be for everyone (especially if you play alone...you're missing out) but I highly enjoyed it and can't wait for the next one.

To be fair you can have fun poking sticks at a dogs turd when you are with friends. But yeah i enjoyed the game slightly more when playing coop. Just found it very short, but then again it's not a full priced title and a "episodic" game.

Currently slogging my way through my 6th playthrough, it's... alright as a rental but I'd never have paid full price for this thing. It feels so much slower than Until Dawn, even though it's shorter, and none of the characters grow or change much at all, it isn't scary either.

[Sir_Bee]

lol, the disdain and spite emanating from this post is amusing.  I am glad you enjoyed the game though

[Litha]

I'm gonna have to use "boring suckage" in arguments more often. Thanks!

 

I enjoyed Until Dawn in a 'so bad it's good' kind of way. I never finished Hidden Agenda because I found it boring. I haven't touched Man of Medan for mainly the same reason, and likely won't unless it's free for some reason.

[Taliesin_2943]

Loved the game only had 1 character I regularly tried to kill because she's just so horrible but I think she was designed that way but seriously she invoked a murder lust

[reiner-]

"Fun lovage"? Sorry not as funny as "boring suckage". ?

 

EDIT: You could of used the opposite "Exciting Blowage" but I guess that wouldn't of made your point.

Anyway I'm just stirring at this point. I haven't even played the game.

Well, that merge ended up a little funky. LOL

Haha. 

Now I'm confused. Is this game "Boring Suckage" or "Fun Lovage"? Boring Lovage??? Fun Suckage???

I changed the title so it's up to you!

 

Kind of just wanted to leave it as is!

That would have been better ?

There's actually a really cool feature that allows people to be invited to the coop mode without even needing to own a copy of the game, so you can effectively enjoy the story for free if you can find someone willing to invite you (I'd be happy to if our timezones match up, I need the mp trophy myself.)

No. I hardly have enough time anymore to play games I enjoy, much less games I don't care about. If you need the MP trophy then you'll get far better results by making a boosting session.

First off- weirdly hostile response. Secondly, if you're going to say something like " likely won't unless it's free for some reason." when you clearly never wanted to play it at all, maybe you should have been honest with yourself from the start.

Firstly, if a direct and honest response is your idea of 'hostile' then I recommend you rethink how you interact with people. Secondly, I changed my mind. I realised that I in fact do not care. Do not attempt to misrepresent that as hypocrisy.

There's a difference between being direct and being curt, and apparently the more I talk with you the more I realize rudeness is your default tone.

I actually like "fun suckage" as the best description for this game. The game definitely sucks on a couple of fronts. Some of the QTE's are just bad (like early days of QTEs bad with the timing) and it goes awhile without any story at times, which makes it a little boring at parts, but I'm still having fun with it.

 

I'm almost done with my second playthrough that's mostly for fun. The boring parts aren't bad now that I know what I'm doing. My husband and I did the co-op last night on my profile for the first playthrough. He knowingly killed Julia by having her drink the beer after not decompressing properly. We actually didn't know it was going to wait until the very end to kill her, so I got hopeful I was getting the trophy for only the girls surviving. Nope, lol.

 

I didn't expect it to be scary. Most horror movies and games don't get to me, so I never expect much from any of them on that front. The pacing isn't much different than a lot of the Telltale games I've played. I haven't gotten around to playing Until Dawn yet, so I can't really compare the two. I'm looking at another three or four playthroughs, but it's a quick game. I don't mind. It's giving me a bit of a break from the more in depth games I've been playing.

[LoveInHell]

It was quite enjoyable but I expected more and I feel like they could’ve made this a lot better.

 

The controls are wacky as in the character don’t go where you’re controlling them to. You would control them to the right, they spin first then go to the right. You try to walk through a door, they stop in front of the door. This can get a bit annoying.

 

I didn’t like how the characters are adults but act like teenagers. They still joke around when obviously they’re stuck in a dangerous place. Looked like “edgy and want to be funny” writing and it failed.

 

The game is way too short but I guess what else is there to do on a boat? There weren’t many encounters with the kidnappers nor with the hallucinations either.

 

Oh... and its too easy to get off the boat with everyone alive.
