Cold Fear Pc Game Review
About Genre Action Summary Survival horror game from publisher Ubisoft, developed by Darkworks. In Cold Fear, players step into the role of Tom Hansen, a U.S. Coast Guard who is sent to board a drifting Russian whaling ship in the middle of a howling storm on the Bering Sea, and there discovers that there is no safe place here.
Cold Fear could be best described as Resident Evil 4-Lite. It doesn't have the epic quality of the popular Capcom series but for a tight, solid, horror-survival game you could certainly do a lot worse.
Had there not been some imaginative design elements in Cold Fear it could have easily been dismissed as a generic zombie shooting gallery. Working with less of a budget than Capcom, Darkworks was at least able to infuse the game with personality, thrills and chills.
Tom Hansen is with the Coast Guard. He and a crew are sent to investigate distress signals coming from a Russian whaler somewhere in the Arctic. Before his appearance, a team of CIA agents that were sent out to investigate has disappeared. What he stumbles on is a little more than just your average ghost ship. The place is literally crawling with mutant zombies just dying to rip you to shreds.
Not all of the action takes place on the ship, but it sure makes a great location for a game like this since the entire play area moves as it gets pushed and pulled by the waves the winds. The swaying of the boat adds a new twist to the gameplay as you'll find yourself fighting gravity in an effort just to stay aboard, upright and safe from swaying hooks and toppling crates. It makes aiming a little more challenging as well. Fortunately in this game you can walk, aim and shoot at the same time. The weapons have flashlights on them so that you can see in the dark. You can only illuminate a little area at a time which adds to the overall creepiness since you never know what's going to pop out at you from the shadows.
If you've seen one zombie you've seen them all and the same goes for the zombies in Cold Fear. They're not particularly frightening or original but they sure blow up real good. They do have a nasty habit of moving faster as they get closer to you which really increases your anxiety levels. When you first encounter the average zombie they will move about very slowly allowing you time to fix a laser bead on them and let them have it. Headshots are the only thing that will stop them dead. If you can't get a good headshot off, they will continue moving forward. As they get to within an arm's length you better get a shot off fast or you'll be toast. Blasting a zombie in the head at such close range results in a spectacular gory burst of crimson and cranial matter.

Finding such a way to the higher levels is a matter of his aptness and intuition, rewarded by advancing higher.Show More. Unfortunately Rememoried is not that kind of unforgettable gem. Submitted on 7/23/2019 Review title of k1LL3rXGood concept but WAY too short!!!I love indy games and the fact that we get more and more steam titles which sometimes turn into real gems. Rememories. Some elements in the surroundings change when the player turns away or leaves, and become more than just a direction sign: they become the way along which the player walks, flies and falls.
In between shooting zombies and other mutated creatures, you'll explore the boat finding shreds of evidence that gives you some background into the origin of the horrors you encounter. You'll find various keys and codes that you will need to access certain areas of the ship. Some doors and rooms will become sealed trapping you in or out. Water will fill in some areas forcing you to pump it out. There is no in-game map of the ship but there's one in the manual which I recommend having available for the first hour or so. The ship isn't huge but it's still easy to get lost.
After the ship you'll find yourself on an oil rig. This time there is no map but at least it's not an overly huge area. The zombie shooting, puzzles and different locations are well balanced to keep the game from getting repetitive or boring. The action is fast-paced. The Xbox version is the one to get because the load times are quick. Much quicker than the PS2. You can also get a resolution of 720p which makes the monsters almost jump off the screen. The locations are filled with details but more variation in the character models of the zombies would have been welcome.
The creepy atmosphere of the game is bound to give you goosebumps. There's a certain amount of realism to the situations that makes it seem more believable than your average shooter - even though it features zombies. The fact that the game is tight also means that it's short. A good puzzle solver should get through this in a day although the Extreme Difficulty mode will certainly challenge you much longer. Definitely recommended for a rental.
