In Soviet Russia game beats you!

It sounded so promising, 'but hardly a game has ever happened to me so at $ ** K, and the time! In the second half there will be a little bit more interesting, but frankly was my motivation to keep playing this game for the first few levels nor, mainly, that I can tell the world in this review how terribly annoying was the game and wanted to I naturally fully know. There are some very nice ideas; Unfortunately they are completely ruined by a reaction that has almost hurts.

Let's talk about the 'heroes': It's completely okay that the protagonist is not a superhero (apart from its ability to send his spirit through time in the minds of other beings, so he can help them survive). But it feels as if it were broken out of the nursing home! Sneak downright through the area 'race', one can initially for two seconds, as the game is changing a bit, because if you as a player has enough stamina to see that yet. If one does not yet exist the rest, you can look forward to the weapons. Who always wanted to handle with guns that are as agile feel like an anvil and take the middle of the battle with fast and powerful opponents paltry 5 to 10 seconds for loading to complete, will be happy with this game.

I mean, the scenario with zombie-like creatures, brutish cyber experiments and a psychically gifted protagonists is now not really realistic, nor the possibility to permanently adhere to the next heat source in good health (life energy is in Cryostasis namely body heat), while a an opponent shoots all the time from two machine guns in the back. But then to mobility and reactions to the cold more realistic (or not, I find them exaggerated)? Honestly, if I want the kind of realism, I walk in the park in winter.

Let's talk about the tasks and cutscenes (both often goes hand in hand, because in the cutscenes, you can move the most, while sometimes change the past - 'but not save). Some 'mystery''re ok, some simply illogical or counterintuitive act arbitrarily, many simply swallow only powerful time; could prove even alongside a pizza.

In the graphic was certainly a lot of work invested (and the graphics card is required to make even much good stuff), what it can still seem ironic, how ugly, boring and similar looks everything. In addition, one in its extracorporeal phases has no flashlight and too many places are just pitch black, so you recognize absolutely nothing - 'no, that does not improve the atmosphere that just sucks.

While we're in the mood: It's not even really creepy! Anyone who has played Doom 3 or Dead Space, here almost feels like a bedtime story. Oh yes, the story is not really exciting.

Let. To bugs and other inconsistencies Unlike Doom 3, the hero has a flat torch, which he carries in his breast pocket in this game. Nevertheless, it is often abruptly duster, especially after cutscenes or fight, sometimes just like that. From time to time I could not find a way out of a situation except to reload. There are hotspots for object activation that are just stupid to use. The story is partly presented by a narrator from the off if you pick up pictures or list which is then immediately put away again, because the narrator does not stop even when continued running - 'except the next door ends the level or there is suddenly a cutscene, then breaks off the story! These are just some examples of how little the game developers have thought through things - 'or such matter to them was their job.

The only bright spot of the game, and who is also not particularly bright, the ideas that flowed in Cryostasis are. To save people in a kind of time travel retroactively or body heat as life energy, which is a bit original, and there are a few other nice ideas. The game would have to lengths can be better if it were not so badly designed.

So I can finally recommend, prefer to save the money for something that can prove their worth; it is not difficult to find better games than Cryostasis.
