Red Mist: Rivers of Blood

I love games like “Broforce” and “Freedom! Do or Die” so I decided to give this one a try. At first, I thought the price was too high but then I got deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole. Only then did I understand why this game was priced as it is. Obviously, the trailer can't show it because it would ruin the surprises but... Well, let's just say the Easter Bunny seems to have taken an egg laxative and produced a shed-load of golden Easter Eggs that will (if you are lucky enough to find them) make this game seem like five games (maybe more but I don't know whether or not I have unearthed every clue, stumbled on every secret or found every concealed entrance). I think some levels might remain unearthed for years to come. This really is something special. The graphics aren't great and the premise is (on the face of it) lazy and hackneyed, but god-darn it, who cares when the adventure is this!

Do not be fooled by my gameplay hours - my internet connection has been very temperamental in recent weeks. In truth, this game has made the internet seem redundant! I haven't even checked my emails for three days! If you've ever seen The Sixth Sense, you'll know what I mean when I say I can't say much about the game. Just play it! The controls are OK, maybe a bit spongey sometimes, but OK. The visuals aren't the best and I'm not sure if it's going for retro or something else. They only get great when you get into the forbidden bits (for want of a better word) but maybe that's intentional. The voice acting is not the best but the levels are incredibly well designed. I gotta get back to the game now!
