You could always power through with some special ammunition, or grind past opponents with charged sonic blasts. But really, you’ll only be cheating yourself out of all those marvelously entertaining chain-reaction killing sprees and the resulting scoring bonuses. And by the time you reach the abrupt cliffhanger ending, you’ll be too busy planning your next playthrough to worry much about the wait for Hydrophobia’s inevitable sequel.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

What a surprise, I was just searching for this game. I'm honestly quite surprised by the water physics and definitely looking forward to trying it soon.
loved this game/ still play it. The water and atmosphere where stellar and really fun to interact with.

After a rather decent amount of discounts on Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles last time out, the Deals With Gold sale is back once more to deliver a number of games at bargain-basement prices. Is there anything found in the Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale for 13th-19th November 2018 that takes your fancy?"
Lol
OXM gives it a 9
Almost everyone else 3-6
Well it IS OXN after all, but in all honesty, we did give the game a decent 7.5/10, as it does bring back some basic gameplay mechanics akin to the earlier Max Payne games from Remedy Games, which really had you working out how to get through obsticals, rather than have your path laid out in front of you with glaringly lit passageways or doors etc.
Plus the ending of Hydrophobia is meant to take you into the next iteration, it is after all, a on-going series, not a sequenulized game.
