The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation
Finished the Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation as my first Spooktober Game and was positively impressed, the story was quite good and the asian horror elements that I expected were there as well (more than the usual jump scares in western horror)
Also, it was short with around 5h playtime (which is great)
Things I liked:
- The English Voice Acting was (except a one or 2 scenes) surprisingly good
- The Environment Graphics conveid the eery feeling quite well, i.E. the fog that sometimes comes up
- Was a nice mix of story with occasional puzzles interspersed
- No unnesecary inventory management
- Characters came out mostly well defined and felt different
Things I didn’t like:
- The leveldesign could’ve been more optimised, I often died because I couldn’t figure out the way to go at first and needed a few tries
- …while the voice acting was good, the speak animations were not optimised to english and so the mouth kept moving long after the words were spoken and didn’t match up good in general
- I wish sprinting really would’ve meant what it says, sprinting…I could barely make out a difference to walking to I did mostly the latter as that didn’t attract ghosts so much
- I would’ve liked if the main characters would’ve explained more about what was going on, you needed to read all the little bits and pieces that you picked up on the side to pick up more about them and about the curse
