Make sure you have a lot of time to spare in this darkness oriented action game.
Well after reading reviews about Undying, I decided to try this out-- ignoring Barker. I now know who he is-- a master of horror story telling and a very creative person. And he left his mark all over this horror action game.
Now horror does not have to be like Doom 3 where blood and strange deformity or mutation appearing out of darkness does the trick. In undying distorted mutated characters are not necessarily the element of horror. This is a proper horror game, where undead entities are your opponent and you are out to solve a mystery. Its not science fiction horror fantasy , but a horror action fantasy. The game kickstarts with a brilliant Victorian era setting which rules the environment from the beginning. Brilliant graphics. With Victorian era fire arms you start your mission in fighting the undead. Undying uses darkness a lot and in fact darkness can put you off as some scenes can go completely black. Sometimes you can roam around in wrong direction again and again because of the darkness and get killed by the ghosts. In other words, the game demands your attention and time. If you are playing the game for short time-frames and long intervals, its likely that you will not finish the game.
