Outbreak: Endless Nightmares

Outbreak: Endless Nightmares will undoubtedly have trouble finding its audience. The game’s rogue-like aspect lacks further development with certain levels not being randomly generated enough - the inside elements are the only one not being predefined - and are acting as obstacles to the player’s free will and skill set to progress. Having to discover coins to unlock new levels will be a great source of frustration for many players. The poor sound design and the fixed camera angles that don’t always change when the character is already out of focus keep making the immersion into the horror harder and harder. This also results in a controllability that isn’t convincing enough. Yet, the weapon’s durability, the hidden documents to find for a better understanding of the lore, the skill points or even the two-player option will be able to satisfy the less demanding players… And for many gaming sessions.
