I got my copy today and played for about 2,5 hours. First impressions are very good.
The game is kind of a mixture of:
- the thing (coldness as a gameplaymechanism)
- Penumbra (dark and silent environment)
- Condemned (close/melee combat + fisrt person view)
- Cold Fear (the ghost-ship-scenario)
- Silent Hill 2 (the slow and calm way of storytelling)
- and ... dunno another game with the feature: "touch-a-corpse-to-see-last-moments-of-the-dead-and-take-influence-to-result-a-different-situation-of-yourself-and-surrounding-in-your-present"
...so, if you like any of the mentioned games up there I highly recommend to get cryostasis
been waiting forever to play it, but the version i downloaded ages ago may or may not have been full of viruses (it was larger than the other rips, more and more people were saying the uploaders other torrents were virus jobs and now the torrent doesnt exist.
i kept it still rard on my comp for ages and finaly decided it wasnt worth the risk today, after finding out the torrent had been removed, so obviously there was something wrong with it. i'll download a nicer copy after i play darksector, got about 4 games in line to be installed right now lol.
...dunno if thats the kind of link you wanted :P . but here is one:
