Blood Enemies Chapter 2

Mod review

Yet again I rate this a three...

Good things:
-Creativity
-Storyline
-New puzzles
-Good end/Bad end/General end

Bad things:
-Rushed, and even more boring than before
-No checkpoints
-Barely any music or ambience
-Not scary in the slightest
-Bad (and rushed) level design
-Yet again, key puzzle after key puzzle...
-Very dark, hard to see

Although I included more positives, this in my opinion was worse than the first Blood Enemies. The level design was the same. Like I said, try to decorate the rooms with supplies and other stuff. Also in the prison rooms, I noticed many texture glitches. Look over your maps and look everywhere for texture glitches and fix bugs.
While talking about the prison rooms, each prison room looks exactly the same. Some parts just looked select+duplicated. I see you've rushed this mod, which I see no need for, and from reading the description is my proof.
Mods take a lot longer than a week to be polished and uploaded. Some of the mods I've made were very short and took more than 3 times longer than it took you to make this.
There were no elements in this mod that made it even the tiniest bit scary. The few jumpscares in the game were predictable. There wasn't much ambience and no music to liven up the mod in anyway and no checkpoints for me to be able to go back and do the endings again.
Enough with the negatives though, it's nice that you included a good/bad end in the game. Those I think are quite a nice touch, plus the weight machine was also pretty creative. Unfortunately, back to the negative.
You've yet again used the same puzzles or quests over and over again (collect keys, collect keys) and some of the general quests like levers and stuff, and considering the fact that it's very dark without oil in places like the storage, I used the walkthrough about 5 times, but in the prison sections, it just got ridiculous and I almost gave up of boredom, something that hadn't happened with your previous mod

What I can suggest is with the weight machine, keep that creativity up, because no one wants to see key quest after key quest. Don't create maps like the prison sections with 8 cells where you have to check under the bed, check the buckets, check the bars, check on top of the bars, because that takes too long and leads to boredom. Add more lighting, more decoration, more creativity and more effort. And never rush your mods.

3/10 Awful

Blood Enemies

Mod review

Good things:
-The mod spooked me a couple times
-Storyline

Bad things:
-(I agree with Kiralmmortal) The story is unfitting for the mod's surroundings
-Key quest after key quest...
-Bad level design
-Boring for the most part
-Could do with more oil + very dark in areas
-Rather short
-No music/not much ambience

-------------------------------------------------

Storyline > For a mod like this, the storyline is a bit odd, just because it doesn't fit with the mod itself and how it all works.

Level design > The rooms are kind of bland, which in my opinion makes the mod kind of boring. Fill the rooms more, decorate them.

Lighting > In most areas, using a lantern was essential to see, otherwise you'd be wondering in the dark most of the time trying to find what you need. You should include some more lighting (windows/torches/candles) so you don't need a lantern all the time. Especially when you don't have much lantern oil.

Other > The mod was rather short for what it was, not including the time it took me to solve the key puzzles. You should put more effort into creativity. To sum it all up, you tried, but this mod bored me, and I had no need to replay it. Spend some more time on your mods next time.

3/10 Awful

The Trapdoor

Mod review

Good things:
-Unique and creative
-Nice effects
-Puzzles
-Great idea
-Story
-Interesting scripting

Bad things:
-Hard to navigate
-Trips are extremely long
-Lack of autosaves (game crashed and I had to redo everything)
-Bugs

This mod is extremely creative with nice puzzles, but I would like to mention that the puzzles can be hard at times. The trips can be really long, but a very nice idea is introduced with boney and the effects of the trapdoor, it has good atmosphere and adds a nice amount of stress, but everything is so dark, I got a headache by the time I was done. I kind of had to break the game a little to be able to beat the game, because from what I'm seeing, a door was supposed to break down, and that never happened for me. The ending was a bit confusing, because when I was running down the stairs, I got pushed out of the map, landed on a ceiling of something below me, fell more, died, fell again and then the credits rolled. That was a bit weird but I got to beat this finally and this was actually pretty cool and unique. I might replay the ending to see if I did it right or not but no matter...

8/10 Great

-Work was actually put into this

Bad things:
-Texture glitches

Sins of the Father: Eternium

Mod review

Good things:
-Great level design
-Nice monster sequences
-Good scripting
-Creativity
-Not to long, not to short
-Decent atmosphere
-Custom models

Bad things:
-Not a lot of story
-Some parts of this are pretty boring
-Ambience is slightly lacking
-Bad ending
-Very simple puzzles

This has great level design with nice scripting and cool monster sequences but there's not a lot of ambience nor is there much story and the ending was a bit upsetting. This did however have lots of creativity and detail and the monster sequences were cool.
Next time, just add a bit more story and please don't end it like that where the player really wants more and then it just ends.

RECOMMENDED!

7/10 Good

Bad things:

Okay, bye now.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Game review

Very nice game, spooky atmosphere and a really awesome spine chilling experience each time you play. Much scarier than the first game however much harder (Took me about an hour to beat night 2 of the demo + the same amount of time to understand how to actually survive)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

9/10 Amazing

DARK SCARY STORY!

Mod review

What in the FUUUCK?!!?!

Good things:
-Scares

Bad things:
-Texture glitches
-Bad level design
-Horrible grammar
-"Based off of a youtuber" cliché
-No story or challenge
-Ending?

And soooo many other things, my brain is going to explode thinking of other errors.

You need to work on your level design a lot. There are many texture glitches. Add music and atmosphere and actually connect walls instead of going crazy!
By the way, custom stories actually take time, not 10-20 minutes. The level design was a mess!

There were scares and they got me the first time but it got repetitive.

Work on all of these things. Oh, I felt like being generous so here:

2/10 Terrible
