    It pains me to give this game a low score, but considering I love the premise of Alien Invasion Survival Horror so much, I decided to rate this a 5, rather than a 4. The game was definitely faulted in a few ways. Missions were often unclear. Character movements were blocky, and the running system made you feel chonky. Dialogue was alternating from funny, serious, and overall misspelt /It pains me to give this game a low score, but considering I love the premise of Alien Invasion Survival Horror so much, I decided to rate this a 5, rather than a 4. The game was definitely faulted in a few ways. Missions were often unclear. Character movements were blocky, and the running system made you feel chonky. Dialogue was alternating from funny, serious, and overall misspelt / incorrect grammar (though I do want to stress, the team isn't an English speaking developer, so I'm sure they did their best) In the end, certain mechanics of the gameplay just needed far more tweaking.
    When trying break free from an alien's grasp, the button mashing never seems to work correctly. And as far a using a PS5's R2 trigger to button mash, it isn't exactly the best button to use. The trigger is designed for their adaptive use and have a farther reach from un-pressed, to pressed (if that makes sense).
    The visuals were actually pretty impressive. The lighting was awing, the trees blowing in the wind added to the immersion, and most areas the character would spend time were detailed very well. Though once you step out of the buildings and off the main roads, the invisible fences, 2-D foliage, and graphical glitches began to show. Vast landscaped of flattened green were seen behind invisible barriers.
    Since the developer is Indie, and clearly becoming good at what they do (I mean that :) I hope to see what the sequel brings.
    In my opinion however, when I see the genre as survival horror, I do expect more horror. Not silliness and lines such as, " I don't want them putting things in my dirty ass!". Which DID make me laugh, but I was already over the game at that point.
    Greyhill Incident is a silly, good-looking at times, alien invasion game. I wouldn't say it's scary, but if you see it on sale sometime for a few bucks, it's a few hours of fun. Literally. it's only about 3 hours long. So grab some friends, pass the controller, and enjoy a weird slice of extra-terrestrial B-horror fun. But don't expect horror, survival, or a well polished product.    … Expand

    Me apena mucho las notas que estoy viendo y más cuando es el trabajo de un estudio modesto. Es cierto que te limitan mucho el movimiento por el pueblo, que el diseño de los aliens son simples y con animaciones muy mejorables en general. Pero se nota el cariño por el cine de serie Z con los extraterrestres. Me parecen muy injustos los análisis de esta página.

    I actually liked it. Yes, it could be way better, but it's acceptable. I loved the atmosphere and the video camera filter option. The "story" doesn't take itself too seriously, which is good to me. Though the player's supposed to avoid and hiding from the aliens, the combat system doesn't help, so as some models through the map. Since I had my 3 hours of fun I can't give it less than a 7.

    We were never expecting Greyhill Incident to be amazing, but it falls even short of simply being mediocre. Unfortunately, it’s one of the worst games we’ve played this year. While it manages to create a truly unsettling atmosphere and has some pretty hair-raising scenes, its gameplay is so tedious and frustrating that it kills your desire to progress. And so, those looking for alien-based horror thrills will have to do with the paltry options that are already available for now.

    Greyhill Incident is, by no means, a disaster on all fronts. The product packaged by Refugium Games leaks from all sides. From the disappointing technical sector to the cumbersome gameplay, every single aspect of the production leaves a lot to be desired. The poor general quality does not even allow this adventure to be counted among the so-called 'so bad, it's good'. Even lovers of trashy games will probably be dissatisfied with it.

    Greyhill Incident could have cornered a niche in the market, yet its forgettable story, poor dialogue, and lazy gameplay make it one to miss.
