Labyrinthine Review (FbTheNorthernKing)
I love this game. I loved the story, i love the case files, i love grinding for cosmetics and for it's price it's more than well worth it.
However, there are so many flaws in this game that i don't know how it's close to being finished. The variety of map sizes and monsters in case files is a good way to keep things fresh however when you put 1402937 monsters on the map and we end up stuck in spawn for 15 minutes before just re rolling the map is a joke.
Monster A.I also needs a massive overhaul. Some monsters are genuinely pointless and make the map easy then on the other side there are the monsters who are a ridiculous. Can see round corners, hear you from a mile away, twice as fast as the player with no way of slowing them down. That isn't fun it's stupid especially adding in the fact the monsters don't roam they just camp you wherever you happen to be.
Audio is awful, I have no other way of putting it. I'd love to see some changes made to the warnings you get when a monster is close by. Some are perfect and make it possible to track the monster and avoid them. However some merely play elevator music when they're in the same map as you giving you no way of tracking them or knowing where they are. Feels lazy and ruins maps. I actively try and avoid playing trenches because not only is the map the worst on this game by miles the monster i'll call Slender Digits is broken.
This game is well worth playing and buying but could become an essential game to play if things are changed.
Update.
Game is so much better in so many areas that this game is still an absolute bargain.
However, extreme difficulty is a joke. Monsters still continue to group together. Continue to follow the same path and continue to camp you no matter where you are. If you're looking for an exit or a safe room then just look for where the monsters are camping.
Such a good game let down by frustrating mechanics that haven't been fixed.
