The Forgotten Ones | Hardcore Games

Hardcore Games: "A good psychological horror game cooks up a potent mixture of paranoia, bewilderment and suspense, and keeps you stewing in it until (and occasionally, beyond) the grand finale. Its a careful balance of flavors: enough of a sense of disorientation to keep players curious, but with just the right whiff of clarity, some hope that answers can truly be found if the game is completed. Unfortunately, The Forgotten Ones, Bernt Andreas Eides Half-Life 2 mod-turned standalone action / horror game, feels like the product of a heavy-handed, over-zealous high-school cafeteria cook, foregoing subtlety in favor of a bunch of generic elements slapped together with a near total lack of skill and aesthetic."
