Now don't get me wrong. Its not around the best things that are around, but still. You can immerse in the emotion and the feel that were put into the game.

And for someone like me who has played tons of different games for years - games like Odium stand out - and not because of the particular genre or gameplay. Games like this stand out because the creators of it managed to put enough of an atmosphere to make it feel organic and alive.

And all-though its kind of short everyone that enjoys games with a personality will enjoy this.

I for one am bored of high-tech struggling to be eye candy that passes for games and is unshakably artificial experience from top to bottom.

And lets face it for a game of 1999 - its looking mighty well - and sounds even better, complimenting a gameplay is enjoyable and doesn't really have any problems to get in the way.


Its now 2011 and allot of games can't even match that.
