Imagine everything that could've gone wrong with Dead Space and this is basically what you get. [The Short Version] I didn't like this game at all. It wanted to be sexual for some reason with naked alien zombie women, combat is clunky but ok I guess, the game just looks ugly, UI is terrible, and the cutscenes don't work. Stay away from this game and buy something else. p.s. These positive reviews are lookin' kind sus......................................... [My Gameplay Experience] Hollow is a first-person, sci-fi, survival horror game where you take control of a space delivery man who has just boarded a seemingly empty vessel. Dazed and confused you embark to find someone who can tell you what is going on and why everyone seems to be missing. You end up finding a radio. You pick it up. After wandering around for a bit you encounter your first jumpscare! This won't be your last. I crouch under some crates and continue forth to the main power room. At this point, I'm hearing noises and I'm genuinely getting a bit unsettled. I turn on the power which (you guessed it) just so happens to be a jumpscare. I then go to the control room and wander around there for a bit before noticing a note telling me what I should do. "Hollow. Follow my instructions". I kick a generator and somehow turn it on. I then find a gun (?) and I proceed to scare myself by shooting the gun which I swear is louder than the actual game's audio. I encounter my first enemy. A naked woman with knives for feet. I shoot her a few times and she disintegrates into oblivion as I see her corpse glitch and stretch out. I walk to the room in front of me and I am greeted by another woman who's pinned on the wall next to a gore display. I'm starting to sense an unsettling trend here. I wander into a few more corridors and there's another human. The camera tells me this by controlling the camera into awkward positions then suddenly snaps back to me. I continue and then I'm met with more naked monster women who proceed to gang up on me. While this is happening a cutscene happens and I'm still taking damage. I die mid cutscene and I get booted to the title screen. Then my game crashes. What the **** just happened. [My Thoughts] I will admit, I was hyped for this game when I saw it on the store but oh my god I was in for one hell of a disappointment. The game looks ugly, there is a weird blur, walking feels off, and it just feels bad. Combat is pretty fun, I think. I do understand what they were trying to do but they somehow managed to do everything wrong. I only managed to see one enemy design and those were the naked women monsters. To me, they got inspiration from Dead Space which is ok but they did something rather... strange. It seems like they were trying to be sexual but since it's a horror game it gives off a very creepy and disturbing vibe. This is in no way a compliment to the game. I am saying the designers are either closet necrophiliacs or they want us to somehow get aroused from shooting naked zombie alien women. Both of which are disturbing thoughts. It's not a good game. It had potential to be something great but it just flopped like an old pile of tripe being blasted off into space. Doesn't make sense? Exactly. P.S. Whoever you are character designer, get help
