Snipe Hunt

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 2[/h1] You can view my initial impressions review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/ZaHNN-fMKuI I'm not sure I would recommend the VR experience. It's very rough. However, this game is budget-priced and it does seem to have nice potential, so I am going to give it a neutral recommendaiton. The biggest problem with this game currently in VR is the poor performance. Game is running on the Unity Engine and on my RTX 3080, I was getting frame rate drops consistently, despite choosing different graphical options, including turning off volumetrics. However, even worse than the frame rate issues, was the pop-in. There was nothing I could do to stop the severe pop-in that seemingly got worse, the longer you played the game. The other big issue is the lack of a tutorial. I had no idea what I was doing, but I think I was able to figure most of it out, except for the runes. I still have no idea where they are or what they look like or what you're supposed to ...

GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD! CORN! Would recommend, developer is putting a tutorial level to help out if you don't know what to do so please give it time. But it's worth a look with friends for a scare.

Played two games of Snipe Hunt and here is my review from a non horror game players perspective Atmosphere: 5/5 A corn maze is familiar and a perfect spooky atmosphere for a game I hgavent seen before. It adds a nice uniqueness to it from the other modern horror games. The crows and birds did give me a good scare and seeing the creature just graze me made me jump a few times Gameplay: 3/5 Simple and effective, However an issue when I was playing was with figuring out which footprints or bone piles i tested. This was not a negative aspect but it did cause me to question what i had and had not found. The other issue is a proper "how to use" prompt for things like the goggles. I was hoping to have a sort of UI that had some prompts such as "Press c to bring up sheet" just as a reminder. Visuals: 4/5 I love the simple look of everything. Most games like these give you tools that make you the next ghostbuster. Here, you get an oil magic lamp and a bag of runes. I like that it actively fe...

Why is it not called Maize Maze? While a mechanically simple game, it has a strong atmosphere, especially on the audio front. It creates a great sense of unease while exploring the maze for evidence and makes you urgently feel the need to leave, something which can be made more difficult by random nature of the mazes and the space warping mechanic found when traversing the corn. The game also features a co-op, which my or may not ease some of the tension. Visually some elements are lacking, the night time skybox and the lighting of the maze maps is great, though some of the assets look a bit rough and the lighting feels a bit off inside of the lobby house. I was able to escape the bounds of some of the maps but this required effort on my part. I have no comment to make on the VR as I do not own a VR headset, though I can only imagine it enhances the already strong atmosphere.

So far this is way better and more scary than the corn maze I was in last week

Very well made game! It scared me a couple through the corn patches and dark pathways. 100% recommend giving it a try, especially since the developer is still adding, upgrading, and fixing content!!

It's an interesting premise, but it's current version (10/29/2022) on mouse/keyboard is very rough. You're dropped in a cabin with four potential jobs, Training and then increasing difficulty. Let's just say it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to get out the door to Training because there wasn't an indicator that you had to bury your face in the door and then spam E. I tried the door multiple times from a foot away with no success, so I assumed it wasn't what was supposed to happen. It wasn't until I got so close my lantern was glitched through the door that it worked. The training was very basic, just explaining what the different types of clues look like under tests. Nothing about the key mapping (though it is somewhat intuitive), or how to trap monsters, etc. The game then drops you into whatever mission you chose without much explanation. I started off solo on difficulty 1, and stepped five feet into the maze before my screen got a blue tint and apparently I was caught by Moth...

Been playing snipe hunt since the demo and it has been a blast! The horror aspect of the game is what I love! The jump scares are not overused and are just right with the theme of being in a maze! Sounds from your surroundings make you uneasy as you go through the maze, something I enjoy to a very large extent. Mechanically, the gameplay is simple but also easy to understand for anyone who is new. You have a variety of tools to use to uncover the identity of the monster which you must navigate through the maze. Each tool has a certain effect that will show off exactly what type of evidence you get. I especially like how you can also lay out a trap to capture the monster! Overall, this game is easily a 5/5 due to the horror aspect and easy to understand system. Not to mention, if you have friends, it's even better! Who will survive at the end?

The corn smells nice, but the scary man does not ;(
