      ^ I got that one too. I was actually taking a drink of my pop when it came up so it legitimately jolted me for a second.

      Edit: Played a lot tonight. Still not going to give away spoilers, but... damn, I'm so glad that some nobody Czech development studio learned so much from studying the older games. They really seem like they paid attention to what makes a game atmospheric and tense. Definitely a game that has been putting me on edge, I'm really pleasantly surprised.

      Edit edit: Oh yeah, might as well absolutely praise the puzzle design. The highlight of the puzzles was definitely when... well I know it's a spoiler thread, but even so, definitely when Spoiler:


      Blew my friggin' mind. Seriously, props to Vatra.

        This is definitely not a 4.5 game.

          You can't spell ignorant without IGN!

          Seriously though, who listens to them anymore anyways? XD Every other reviewer is going for 7 or 7.5/10. Me personally? 9/10. The combat just needs a little more tweaking, but other than that I really can't find major flaws in the game.

            The survival horror fan in me wants to give this a 8-9/10 as well. I was shaken up by the idea that Homecoming was rated higher than Downpour, but clearly whoever wrote that Downpour review either forgot or has never played a traditional survival horror title before, let alone from Silent Hill 2 and 3 which the reviewer ironically praises as the 'glory days'.

              Just got home from work. Picked up Downpour on the way while I paid off the rest of ORC. Putting it in now, shit is about to get real.

                    I'm in the caves, killed one of the cave monsters and ran from the rest. Tough bastards.

                    Dying, no med kits left.

                    Stopping for tonight.

                      Well, I just beat the game and I'm not sure which of the six endings I got, but it was a positive one at least.

                      This game is by and large, one of the best in the series. I'm absolutely stunned at how well Vatra Games did. While I don't like comparing SH games to the "golden trio", I will honestly say that this game holds up incredibly well against them, and is the best since then. To think that some company that had only one game on their record, a download-only arcade-style action shooter, is able to come up with this, blows my mind.

                      If they work on more SH games, and can consistently keep them as good as they made this, I have no issue labeling them as the second coming of Team Silent.

                        THIS. XD I picked it up before work today and got started after work. Maybe it's because I'm running a fever, maybe it's the Nyquil making me sleepy, but I keep getting lost. xD

                            I honestly only found about two, and I still ended up at about 12 hours. I made a no-spoiler review on Facebook, I'll copy/paste it when I get home.

                              That's why. I've finished four so far, and from what I've seen in the achievements that's nowhere close to being at the half way mark.

                                Yeah, and they're sprinkled everywhere.

                                Anyway, my no-spoiler review for Downpour that... just so happens to be going into spoiler tags because it's a wall o' text.
