When the Soviet nuclear icebreaker North Wind sends out a distress call in 1968, nearby meteorologist Alexander Nesterov and his dogs trek out across the bitter ice shelf to investigate. That's the setup for the intriguing first-person action/adventure hybrid Cryostasis, a surprising title that GameSpy first saw during the 2008 Leipzig Games Convention.
RPS:
"Cryostasis belongs to the same class as the S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Metro series, namely weird-as-heck Eastern bloc shooters. As an FPS it isn’t as good as anything either of those series’ offer, but the story it tells between the gun bits is satisfyingly mysterious and surprisingly touching."
Den of Geek continues their 31 days of horror games series with a really chilling game, Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason!
Videogamegeezer highlights three PC-only first-person games that need to be re-released onto the Xbox One and PS4, also suggesting improvements.
Among the Sleep was pretty good. Not all I was hoping it would be, but still a very strong title. Never played, naissanceE and Cryostasis, while interesting, was very, very poorly executed.
There are a number of titles that I feel are more deserving of a new audience.
Soldier of Fortune, made by Raven again like SOF2.. That multiplayer was so good back in 2002.
