If there is one place this mod shines, it is in creating suspense. The sterile atmosphere and empty corridors are brilliant at freaking you out, and some of the more fantastic elements (such as the crows) can make this mod very creepy at times.

Unfortunately, Dissolution has one major problem: It's not actually that fun to play. Combat is ridiculously difficult to begin with, due to Zerg rushes from enemies and a useless pistol, before becoming comically easy once you get your hands on the shotgun. Enemy variety is nonexistent, and the only enemies you see swarm you in packs at scripted moments. The fact that the entire game was just a series of fetch quests featuring a climax ripped straight from Bioshock didn't help one bit.

That said, Dissolution is still a recommended download, if only to bear witness to the bleak level design and surprisingly good voice acting. Still, it could have been so much better.

Excellent work. Very well done. Great models/skins, great level design, great enemy design.

The cons: Dated AI, a useless melee weapon and some bad story pacing.

In particular, the horror elements only appear late in the game, and aren't used to fullest potential.

However, that doesn't make it any less great. Even running on a 14 or so year old engine, the graphics are great.
