Abandon: The Town

Mod review

There is a lot I like about this mod and some things I dislike. I like how the author tried to make the experience much more challenging, but it never gets unfair. He makes sure of that with a few new mechanics, like partially regenerating health (Like in Wolfenstein The New Order), or a inventory for health kits.
Because of that though, the Mod was too easy for me. I love how the enemies are all faster, but also some have less health. That makes it more challenging but also more satisfying.
The atmosphere was also great, although visually the mod is just solid.
My favorite feature is how the Hunter can jump on platforms and down again which makes the fights against them extremely dynamic. Unfortunately there is only one fight where they really utilize that. Also since you can't sprint anymore, it is impossible to dodge Hunter attacks in open space. I'm not a huge fan of that, but the author made sure that the levels always provide enough cover and escape routes to prevent damage. The levels are in general well made and very open, but sometimes there are long walking sections which can become boring.
It was a satisfying experience.
