Performance issues aside, Cryostasis is a true masterpiece, as well as a monument in video game storytelling.

One of the most unusual FPS games I've ever played. I'd even describe it as a puzzle game with an element of FPS
The whole story takes place on a ship locked in ice somewhere in Arctic. You navigate your way through frozen rooms and corridors. The way to stay alive (and regenerate your health) is to warm yourself at heat sources: l... Read Full Review
