That said how polished can a fully fledged FPS be when it's only 5 bucks?It has guns, gore, survival and horror.The developer should be proud as it seems to be a one man band. Well done Oleg.I will go back and play some more.. Putrefaction is a first person shooter game. It's not too bad; somewhat reminiscent of a 1990s game of Doom. It's not fantastic, but it's quite ok to play.You are deep in a laboratory facility, with the intent of investigating the outbreak of a disease, but you end up fighting off hordes of horrible mutants instead (my initial investigation of the facility lasted about a minute, the rest of the time was spent being attacked by mutants, or walking around being scared of being attacked by mutants).As someone who doesn't like horror movies (and therefore never watches horror movies), I think that this game had a bigger impact upon me than it would upon someone who loves horror films and is therefore inured to the genre (of course, it could be that someone who loves horror movies has something a bit psychologically wrong with them in the first place).The ambience of Putrefaction is quite good; the confined darkened corridors, the spooky music, and the monsters all add up to a "perfect storm" of heart-pumping action (although, bear in mind that it looks like a 1990s-style game).I must admit that, when I was attacked for the first time by one of the second type of mutants, who was skittering along the ground towards me (and therefore I didn't see him straight away, until he was almost in my face), his initial attack elicited an involuntary "F**k me!" from my lips (this is coming from someone who doesn't like to swear, and who tries to avoid doing so).Each time I walked through a doorway into a new area of the underground complex and a "Game saved" message appeared upon the screen, I though "Oh no!", because I knew I was going to be attacked by yet another horde of mutants.My only real gripes about the game were:1) It doesn't tell you what the controls are; you have to figure them out for yourself. However, they are the standard FPS WASD type of controls, so it should only take an experienced gamer a few seconds to work them out.2) You can't change the controls.3) You can't save the game. However, it does auto-save when you enter into new areas.As an aside, I thought that the music was very well done, and possibly outshined all of the other elements of the game.It's only $5 on Steam, so it's not a bad price (and if you buy it when it's on special, then even better).It might not exactly be my cup of tea, but it is well-made (albeit, 1990s style).If you like horror games or fighting mutants, then this game would be worth getting.. -A Total Middle of the Road Experience-Putrefaction is one of those games that makes me wish the Steam reviews section had a rating that was right in the middle. I've played through Putrefaction on "normal" once, dabbled in survival and have a game on the "hard" setting started. The game is enjoyable enough but not wholly recommendable either. On the other hand, it was pretty fun while it lasted. Unlike a game I really, really enjoy and am encouraged to come back and play all of the difficulties, Putrefaction feels like a chore already to start over. In the game you play as an unnamed operative who is sent in to clean up a monster-creating infection in some underground stronghold beneath a mountain. That is as much story as you're going to get. This game probably has less story\/atmosphere than Doom I, Quake I and the first Serious Sam. In this game you get equipped with a fun selection of various guns and blast your way through levels crammed with ugly baddies. There's no voice-acting or other distractions to keep you from the task at hand. This game makes even Doom and Quake seem complicated as there are no secrets to be found, keycards or otherwise. As much as I love a back to basics game, this one feels like a totally dry piece of toast with no jam or butter added for flavor. The shooting is fine for the most part. Sometimes things will hiccup graphically but overall I had very little trouble there. The guns are cool, satisfying to use and do some Soldier of Fortune-esque gore damage to the monsters. Monster A.I. on the other hand is dumber than dirt for the most part. You can jump on top of a box if you're having any trouble (and it wasn't very difficult on normal overall), and just pick off ranged enemies while the landlubbers dumbly run up against it...trying to nail you yet being too stupid to figure out how. At least those classic games had beasties that each had their own way of making their demise a pain in the butt. Thankfully some small enemies, ones with guns, a type that rolls, a self-destructor, etc. shake things up slightly from all of the goons that run straight at you (and they are plentiful). There's a pair of boss fights to further spice things up and they were fun enough to fight if rather unoriginal. Sound is unremarkable, the shooting is alright although the monster sounds are rather laughable and shouldn't scare anyone under the age of 10. Control is a little loose, not enough to cause alot of cheap deaths, but don't be surprised if one or two occur. When you need to dodge out of the way of anything, you'll find that you have to plan your movements because Mr. Unnamed Operative skipped the space marine diet\/exercise regimen. Jumping is wonky which really isn't a problem as there isn't really any pesky platforming segments. You just shoot, blast, shoot, blast, rinse, repeat. I would say I got more enjoyment out of Dead Effect in recent times than this. Simplicity in gaming is a beautiful thing and I"m always down try these new school takes on old school gaming. The problem here is that it's so very linear. With no secrets to find, no overly challenging or memorable battles, respsawning monsters that block your progression and such point A to B gameplay, it becomes very mundane very quickly. Throwback games are fun, but there has to be some salt, pepper or touch of seasoning to make sure you don't end up "boring" instead of "old school." That's the biggest problem here. I'll break it down into some pros and cons...Pros-Simple, mostly fun old school shooting-Plenty of monsters to fight-Solid selection of guns and most are fun to use-The way guns gore the monsters is entertaining-Boss fights were decentCons-No secrets, little variety, very plain, bland levels, etc.-Ho-hum graphics (but good enough for what it is)-Unremarkable sound-Controls slightly wonky-Pretty short-Doesn't encourage much replay even with a survival mode and different difficulties-Almost zero of its own personality as a gameOverall, depending on how much you are into first person shooters or not will determine if you need to play this. I'm glad I did but I'm not sure I'll get much past my 6\/10 achievements and a normal completion. Most every game I own I play through more than once. For whatever reason, it's a struggle to want to progress on hard with absolutely nothing to find because the game is so bare bones. I'm impressed what a single person was able to develop here and Oleg shows lots of potential for future gaming projects but I don't think he's quite found his whole groove yet. I'm going to have to say this one is a pass unless it pops up for less than $5. Rating: 5.0\/10UPDATE: I did find some glitches on hard. I fell through the first level no less than 2 times near the end right when I was about to finish. I dropped the score and uninstalled the game. Yeah, this one is a definite pass unless you got extra cash sitting around.. I would only recommend this game only if it's 60% or more off. There is no map and you have to move around a lot and figure out where you need to go. Difficulty was very challenging and I put it on the easiest level. I got past the big orc and I'm at a cave. Got to a point where there are so many laser shooting lizards that I just gave up. Come on, easiest setting, the cave is pitch black dark even with the flashlight on and there are like 20 to 30 lizards shooting at you. I'm gonna give this game another try and try to beat the game but if I keep dying and can't move forward, I give up.After playing very carefully and slowly, I past the pitch black cave and 30 lizards and finally reached the last boss. Got his hp to a Centimeter and can't aim for his head because his clones keep trying to explode towards me. Failed more than 3 attempts, I officially give up. I played the game on the easiest setting\/difficulty and I can't beat the game. Your game is TOO DIFFICULT!This game is only recommended if it's on sale and when it's really cheap. Otherwise you are wasting your money. If you love to lose and want a challenge, get frustrated and angry and have stress for trying your best but still struggle, then by all means, go ahead and buy the game for full price.. Poor man's Doom 3. It feels like that way first but that's not even comparable with Doom 3, but you got the point. I will try to be not harsh since it's a dirt cheap game but...First of all it's low budget, kind of ugly and not even scary "horror FPS". Gameplay is based on -mostly- linear levels and monster waves. Story is nearly non-existent and clich\u00e9 (year is 20XX and a virus bla bla). You have to kill all monsters to advance to next checkpoint. Game saves your game automatically when you reach a checkpoint.Short pros\/cons list:Pros:+ Shotgun is satisfying+ Since the game is really simple, it make you keep playing a little longer+ Monsters aren't creepy but make you laugh (i'm serious, especially that headless weirdos)Cons:- Framerate issues (Unity)- Sound effects, especially footsteps on metal surfaces- Shotgun's secondary fire doesn't work- Wave system- Level design isn't good and levels consist of same, cramped areasWhile we're purchasing that kind of cheap titles, we don't expect many things. Yet i believe that we have to write reasonable things with their both strong and weak sides.Try Putrefaction (while discounted) if you're extremely bored but don't expect a decent, short first person shooter experience.
