Hrot

i own this on GOG, this game is great! feels kinda like a soviet quake/chasm hybrid. satisfying gunplay, dreary anxiety inducing setting (that's a good thing) and tight, responsive skill based gameplay.

I absolutely love this. Obviously it's very inspired by Quake, but oddly the sound design immediately made me think of Medal of Honor, of all things. The gameplay is also much closer in pace to Medal of Honor than to Quake, in my opinion -- the speed you move and shoot with feels human, rather than superhuman. Other than that, there's also a ton of interactive objects scattered around through the levels that help build the atmosphere. It encourages you to, at least on a first playthrough, take your time moving through it to really soak it all in. It's great. Also, I'm not aware of many other games set during the Cold War on the eastern side of the Iron Curtain, let alone any that do as good of a job at immersing you in that setting. The description isn't kidding when it says "those times were dark and terrifying and so is the game," either. It's genuinely scared me a fair number of times.

I'm couple levels in of HROT and since I played the demo ahead of time, I knew I would love the game. This game feels good to play, the guns feel weighty and the unique setting is appealing to me. I know I'm 36 minutes into the game but I know I would recommend this game to anyone. If you love games like Dusk, Chasm the Rift, Quake, Amid Evil and Boltgun this game is for you
