Well it's been a while since my last game review (2 years or so). I'm getting back into writing as a hobby as well as a job so I took a look at indie survival horror game, Syndrome!
The survival horror genre has become increasingly popular in
recent years with titles such as Dead
Space, Amnesia: The Dark Descent
and Alien: Isolation showing
many unique variations. When playing Syndrome
it’s easy to see where its inspirations came from, which can be irritating. I
would have liked to see more originality with the plot.
In Syndrome you
play as Galen; a man who has just woken up on a space ship where everyone is
dead, except for two survivors who communicate with you and all the monsters. You
have to repair parts of the ship, avoiding the monsters and steadily unravel
what happened to the crew.
