Afterfall: Insanity Critic Reviews

Afterfall: Insanity gives fans of gritty, horror-action games a whole helping of what they enjoy. Despite its issues with a simplistic combat system and sometimes unintentionally comical cut scenes, the game is otherwise considerably solid.

Maybe the setting is clichéd and you have experienced all its tricks a million times, but Afterfall Insanity is moderately effective.

Despite the moody atmosphere that is elaborately built and the smart puzzles, knowing that you always have another mediocre battle around the next corner turns the game into a chore with no real incentive.

Despite many issues, technical and gameplay wise, Afterfall: Insanity offers a good atmosphere and some nice ideas.

Quotation forthcoming.

The dark and creepy Afterfall: Insanity is let down by its tedious combat and slow start.

The mission design is average at best and suffers from repetition. The puzzles are irrelevant and so is the action – mainly thanks to the ridiculous AI.

Afterall: Insanity is the rough copy of Dead Space. We can't suggest it to anyone unless you really love the genre. But, we warn you: be careful and keep informed about the product before purchasing it.

Afterfall: Insanity is a bit of a mess. Everything about this product comes off as unfinished and if given more time to cook and iron out the bugs, the game could be enjoyable but in its current state it is barely passable.

Afterfall: InSanity may be criticized for many things. However, if you belong to die-hard fans of Dead Space or Resident Evil titles, the game may manage to attract your attention, and your time spent in it may not be misspent.

In terms of gameplay Afterfall: InSanity resembles Dead Space and has some strong points (e.g. varied locations) but falls short when it comes to production values.

It's always tempting to be lenient where indie developers are concerned, and if nothing else Afterfall: Insanity makes for an eye-catching calling card for Intoxicate's graphical skills, but as a game in its own right it's as middle of the road as they come.

Stops short of truly bad, but also some way short of recommended.

Afterfall: Insanity is plagued by bugs and many gameplay's flaws.

Afterfall began its life as an ambitious CRPG, but turned into a mediocre shooter somewhere along the way.

You need a clear, unified vision to shape a game into something that makes sense and compels the player to see it through to the end But scares and gameplay in Afterfall fall flat as scene after scene repeat the same notes, turning what could have been a spine-chilling adventure into a treadmill to an unsatisfying finish.

A first serious endeavor and an instant failure - Afterfall: InSanity is not a good way to debut in the category of big budget games. AI seems unfinished - interesting ideas are unpolished, things borrowed from other games are sloppy, and the technical side leaves a lot to be desired. If not for the interesting storyline, some cool things in the gameplay and an appealing Afterfall universe, this would have been a total disaster.

Survival horror inspired by classics like Fallout or Stalker can not hide its fan-based roots. With the second-grade visuals, sounds, level design and story it ended way beyond our expectations.

I feel sort of bad ripping this game so badly, but I went into it really hoping to be blown away, and came away feeling like I, and anyone else unfortunate enough to have fallen for their ruse, had been duped.

Do you like videogames? Do you like horror in your videogames? Do you like life in general? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, stay as far away from Afterfall: Insanity as possible.
