Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles Forum

Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles can be a great game if you look at it through a particular lens, that lens being from the year 2000. The game has managed to replicate the original survival horror mechanics that elevated games such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil to success almost perfectly, but its beguiling allure sadly melts away the more you play. Awkward controls and some irritating segments cause the game to be a chore on a regular basis, creating a genuine feeling of relief once you complete it. Encounters can most definitely be tense in some areas, so there is a sense of challenge to overcome, but the chance of glitches can ruin that immersion. As battle mode does little to bring you back, once you're done with your time in Outbreak, it'll probably be a nightmare you won't bother to relive again any time soon. Read full review
