Lone Survivor isI bought this game once it was available in store today. I played the PC version and I should say this is a much better game. Lone Survivor is one of the best survival horror indie games I have ever seen. It starts mysteriously in a very nightmarish world filled with a really moody atmosphere and step by step it will tell you the story. I will not spoil anything about the story.
   Lone Survivor is pretty much about surviving. In the game world you have to explore and while you explore you have to be careful to take enough food and sleep. You have to keep your sanity stable as well by consuming pills. the game really relies on resource management and as you go through the game the more depth will be added to the overall survival mechanism. Since the items are important therefore exploring in the game is very rewarding as well.
   However, exploring will not be that easy. It is all about the choices that you will make based on your items. you can go ahead and kill all the monsters you can chose to accomplish you goal by stealth rather than fighting with enemies. depend on which action you chose all the items you have found will come in handy, depend on the item the consequences will be varied. you can stunt enemies, blind them, burn them or kill them with your shotgun and so on. There is a really crazy variety of items that you can use and since you will treat everything as a scare source therefore the gameplay will not be repetitive throughout the game.
   Other than these sort of challenges which you will face through the adventure in the game, also for exploring you will be required to look for maps, there are various puzzles to solve as well which all together adds more variety to the core gameplay.
   The game world is truly beautiful. Mostly it reminds me of the silent hill series but it has its own art style. even though it is pixelated but as the matter of the fact this kind of graphics adds a better level of the atmosphere to the overall presentation. Sound effects, dialogues and so on are quiet quality work.
   I recommend this game to every survival horror lover.… Expand

The atmosphere captivates you from the very beginning, and the storyline is wise enough. Although the graphics may seem too simple, it is not easy to recreate them this way; there are other similar games in which the settings are clearly worse designed.
   
   I highly recommend this game if you like horror indie games (otherwise, it may not be a good choice).… Expand

Сюжет интересный иОтличная 2d пиксельная игра вдохновленная Silent Hill, а какая здесь волшебная музыка ммммм... есть даже стелс механика. Сюжет интересный и запутанный, несколько концовок, жаль на мобилы не вышла там бы она еще популярнее была и принесла автору гораздо больше денег, кстати автор игры это композитор hotline miami и там есть несколько его треков. То чувство когда жалеешь 2д игра куда атмосфернее всяких слендеров и прочей чепухи.… Expand

At it's worst it's a tedious slog to play through. This is one psychological survival-horror game that nails the survival aspect, but doesn't really deliver on horror. The scares are lacking here, so it's strength lies in it's ability to make you wonder just what the heck is going on. There's almost always something weird, unexplained thing around the next corner.
   
   The gameplay can be a mixed bag. I loved sneaking past enemies and finding new ways to collect supplies, but I hated every time I had to find a way to deal with enemies when there was no way to sneak past. These moments can lead to a lot of frustrating deaths and/or irritating combat.
   
   These moments along with the fact that it's just not scary bring the experience down. However there are still reasons any horror fan should check this one out. It has a compelling (if vague) story and atmosphere that kept me playing through my frustration. There's also some really cool side-content to dig through. Overall it can be frustrating, and I didn't find it scary, but there are still reasons to check it out, especially if you're a fan of the genre.… Expand

   Got this free with Plus, it's by far the worst game that's been offered with Plus. I refuse to go back.

   First off I actually enjoy the graphics, takes me back to the era of amazing GAMEPLAY games!
   Secondly, I wasn't scared... I'm sorry but this entire game was not scary to me. It may scare some however.
   Last, I can't stand the map system... can't tell you how many times I've backtracked.
   
   2/10... just not that good or I guess not my type of game? But hey I tried it before complaining about it unlike the 90% of Plus users this week.… Expand
