Pasture Cure is a 6 hour long game about a former soldier named Ian.. youre dealing with memory loss due to an experiment that was done to you…
The game starts in a dream, where youre introduced to woman.. and the game is set around trying to understand this dream and the different figures in this dream, and government projects, and pills, and mind powers.. but assigning a single genre to this game just isn’t possible.
Past cure is all over the place with what it is.. and some of these things are good.. some not so good..
And depending on the type of player you are you may actually end up really hating certain parts of this game and loving others…
Theres a great focus on narrative which is perfect for a game delivered in the way that it is..
Theres an interesting story full of intrigue to pull you through the section of the game you may not like.. as really there are no repeating sections here..
The game at first is a resident evil styled horror game as youre learning the shooting mechanics…
It feels like a quantic dream styled game while youre running around your home, and then all of a sudden it’s back to dream land where youre doing puzzles with your telekensis and time manipulation powers.. but this is really just the game using a clever tutorial to teach you how to manipulate later sections of the game…
As youre then in a 3rd person shooter, health pickups and blue pills are important here as youll be using your powers and taking damage as youre taking out enemies from behind, grabbing their guns and getting into gun fights.. using your telekinesis to take out cameras to not alert more..
But now all of a sudden it’s a hitman feeling stealth game which was my personal least favorite chapter of the game where time manipulation is now important are being detected fails the mission sending you back to the last autosave
and then bits feel like dishonored while youre trying to crack safes, then youre in a horror outlast feeling chapter with puzzles and stealthy sections with monsters you cant attack
The game is non stop changing things up which is really great if youre into variety..
Its also great because it stop the game from feeling boring or like a drag to get through
Its bad however because none of these chapters feel like quality chapters indevidually, it’s a bunch of mediocre versions of really great games and genres stapled together, though the sum ends up being greater than its parts…
As an experience its an overall enjoyable one
The 3rd person shooting is probably what will stand out as the worst aspect of this game..
The hit detection is just awful.. you feel like youre getting lucky everytime you finally take out an enemy… but these moments are spaced out and checkpoints are frequent enough for them to not feel like too much of a hastle
Past Cure is a hard game to describe, but if its anything its like nothing you’ve experienced before and everything you’ve experienced before all at the same time.
Sometimes this is a 3rd person shooter, sometimes this is a horror games, and sometimes this is a stealth game.
Its unique and worth checking out.
