StarCry : Reloaded

Mod review

This mod is fairly well made and deserves a lot of merits. However, I was very fatigued with most of the mod; I would be running around maps looking for parts which I had "missed" to continue. The boss fights would be way WAY too long since I had no idea what or how to win(most of the hints wouldn't help).

I was also very disappointed that I never got to go through the Stargate more than once...I HATED this! C'mon, it's called Stargate for a reason. Anyway, I gave this mod a 8/10 for it being very enjoyable...mostly.

I'm too tired to give the positives... :D

The Forgotten Ones

Mod review

The forgotten ones was a horrible mod. It was very bland, empty and boring. The size of the mod was 2GB with 90% of them was unused models and textures. The length was a mere 30 minutes game play at most. The only positives I can say would be the ideas implemented into it.

The game play was a basic run and shoot broken up by badly made cut scenes and voice acting. Whenever you pressed the use button on something that wasn't interactive you would say annoying lines and if it was you'd say "hell yeah". View bobbing proved to be annoying as it shook the screen as if you were on a pivot. However bad the maps did look they were very interesting to search around excluding the "scary moments".

The visuals weren't anything new. The maps were bare and repetitive. They were in no way realistic as the heights and dimensions were way off. When a horror moment appeared the screens colour would turn green and orange; annoying and in no way "scary". Although the maps didn't seem to have any errors

Overall, this is a very boring mod. It could be used as a test but nothing more. I rate this a 2/10 and recommend you avoid playing unless very VERY drunk.

My advice for the creator-
-Stop being so lazy and take your time.
-Learn more about the source engine
-Playtest HEAVILY and practice on a single map.
-Make it more of a survival mod with less ammo since it's too easy.
-You could combine all the maps into one with good optimisation as it would be easier and less distracting from the atmosphere because the loading ruins it.
-Remove the bobbing, I cannot stress this enough!
-The maps seem very repetitive, try adding different props

I understand this is a Beta and understand it can be improved heavily.
Also, sorry for the harsh review D:

Mod review may contain spoilers

This mod was unbelievebly good. The features implimented were amazing, however some of the levels seemed very repetative E.G teh bit underneath the parking lot. The shooting needed to be broken down into small chunks with a rest in between with a puzzle or exploration THIS ISN'T CALL OF DUTY! :D

The cutscenes were great, I've always wanted to see them introduced in a mod.

Sometimes it was confusing where to go, the hints didn't help me very much.

I rated this a 9 because the mod was at a high quallity and innovative however, felt very repetive and sometimes boring. Definitely worth the download!

Mod review

This mod is a very interesting idea, I loved the puzzles and the "scary" momements but I also had many problems on this map.

The overall gameplay was simple but most of the time I didn't know how to continue. You should add small hints to let the player know of open doors and the right routes.

The moment where you could choose what to do wasn't a good as I had hoped. I'm sorry that I can't add any feedback on this but I was dissapointed.

I rate this a six since it's puzzles were very good but difficult to understand the problem to overcome.
