Lame graphics, sound and gameplay

User Rating: 6.5 | Cryostasis PC
Story is not well told. It is played out using pieces of paper found throughout the ship.

Graphics are the same wherever you go. Frozen or thawing walls all look the same. With everything turned on the game crawls. and the animations and renderings are worse than the quake 3 engine with shiny surfaces.

Sound. Not so good. Music uninspired. Sound effects are just blowing cold wind over and over again.

Gameplay. Who said "slowest movement ever"! It is horrible. You can't run more than a few feet before you can't run anymore. AI hits you with every shot. Monsters don't fit the story. Bosses just uninspired. Linear, linear, linear. Claustrophobic linear in fact.

Weapons: The hands, steal valve and axe were innovative. The rest just blah blah blah.

I wanted to like this game. I did play through to the " made no sense" ending but probably won't ever load it up again.


Nice try from the developer but please next time make the movement faster and story easier to figure out. Who was that guy at the end supposed to be anyway...
