Judgement: Not Recommended

View review on Steam

Welcome to Hanwell is a survival exploration horror game.

I had the game on my wishlist for quite a while, once I got to actually play it I got disappointed unfortunately. It looked promising...

There are couple of gripes I have with the game:
- Huge map populated with what seem to be assets that are being sold on some store. It still feels empty as there is nothing going on.
- Game mechanics make no sense, eg. you can't enter buildings with weapons(?)
- Textures issues, clipping issues.
- Scares are basically jump scares which make my heart go to my heel. I don't like that, I don't want to get a heart attack.
- Tons of collectibles for no reason except for prolonging the game.
- Backtracking.......

So what you are going to do is walk around a dead town, enter buildings where jump scares will get to you and repeat until you go through all buildings. I got quite bored after I went through the hospital. It feels like a chore to go further and I'd rather not do it.
