It's challenging and does not forgive players who are pushing forward without thinking. The map, compass and good terrain orientation are all necessary in Kholat. If you admire a good challenge set in amazing mood, graphics and sounds then this should be a treat for you.… Expand

   Game in first person that will make you enter a story based on real events.
   This game of adventure and terror is inspired by an incident heGame in first person that will make you enter a story based on real events.
   This game of adventure and terror is inspired by an incident he had in Dyatlov, when 9 Russian hikers mysteriously died without knowing how or why. In the game, our character will have to discover the reasons why these Russian hikers died.
   
   This game is narrated by one of the most popular British actors, Sean Bean. If we add to that the environment of the game, the effects, the fear, its history and its graphic quality we can imagine that we are facing a masterpiece of fear games in the first person. This game you will enjoy from the first minute without any doubt.… Expand

It is hard toThis game evades the comparison to any other game out there. I can see why it gets very different scores from various sources. It is hard to grasp, difficult to understand at times. If you are looking for walking simulator - walk way. If you are looking for horror - you can find more typical game of such genre elsewhere. If you are looking for adventure - it is not a typical one. But I found in it something fresh that
   has incredible atmosphere, stellar voice acting, brilliant landscapes and mood. For the price I bought (18 EUR) this is definitely a good value. I spent around 7,5 hour with it and I love watching how other streamers player it. Go check it yourself.… Expand

   Interesting theme, nobody before didn't put the Dyatlov pass incident in the game,as far as i know. The game is based on a true event, but itInteresting theme, nobody before didn't put the Dyatlov pass incident in the game,as far as i know. The game is based on a true event, but it succesfully tried to put supernatural elements to that. The atmosphere is quite intense sometimes. Yes, somebody will say it is a walking simulator,but if you like a good story driven games, you should try it. Not a masterpiece but a good indie title.… Expand

   I do like heavy story narrative games with minimal game play now and again. First impression kind of bad it wants to be terribly mysterious,I do like heavy story narrative games with minimal game play now and again. First impression kind of bad it wants to be terribly mysterious, but it is terribly boring slow with bad controls. Why is the run button set as the uncomfortable hold L3? When the unassigned L1/R1 bumpers would be so much more WAY comfortable. Wow some bad graphical pop ins or what? Sean Bean great actor in a not so great game oh weil. What is this? Arty farty snow Slenderman or something?… Expand

   Never have I ever... Had to look up a walk through guide to see where I needed to go right at the opening seconds of a game.
   Never have I ever... Could not read an in-game map
   Never have I ever... Watched trailers and game play of a game, liked what I saw, bought it, and then upon playing it for a little, absolutely hated it.
   
   Even with a patch released to fix bugs and issues, the game is technically lacking big time. Massive frame rate drops, a ton of major freezes that lasted a few seconds before the game resumed, terribly short draw distances and audio dropping. Game play wise, the map is hard to read (when I saw hard, I mean impossible unless you're a cartographer), compass is impossible to use as it doesn't function like a normal compass, instead showing you where the last camp you found was. There are wooden spikes in the ground serving as traps to those who aren't looking where you're going, but most of these traps are hidden under snow. Even if you are looking where you're going, you're gonna find and die in one of these hidden traps. The creatures in the game are awfully placed, most of the time they'll turn a corner behind you and kill you from there even though you could not have known it was there (since there are no music or visual clues that something is right behind you). You have to constantly check behind you, which is a pain because it makes progressing slow, and causes the game even more frame rate issues with the constant turning of the camera.
   
   Environment is pretty well done, the mountains and trees are quite detailed... Until you get real close and see that trees are paper thin and reminiscent of PS2-game trees. Ledges and cliffs are hard to navigate because sometimes where you need to climb up or down is impossible to tell, or (when climbing down) you die after dropping a couple feet because "That's not a way you're supposed to be able to go *wages finger*." Save points are so few and far between, that if you die, you most likely have to replay between 10-30 minutes of the game again just to get to where you died........... Only to die again because the game is poorly designed.
   
   Repetitive deaths in the same locations, combined with insanely infrequent save points make playing this game your own nightmare. So if the game wanted to create a nightmarish experience, it's done a fantastic job. If the game wanted to create a GOOD nightmarish experience, it falls right on its face, breaks its nose and runs out into the snow storm, left alone to either bleed our or freeze to death with its fate left a mystery.
   
   PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS GAME… Expand
