Story

Condemned is a atmospheric survival horror game and it nails it well. I beat it on hard which means you can't take as many hits as on normal meaning that you have to know your block timings well and enemy attack patterns which makes the combat in this game shine, with the exception of the final boss, that boss is just unfair. While its not Resident Evil levels of survival horror you do have health management as in try not to die until you find your meds and use them wisely. The audio, lighting and scripted events give the game a really creepy vibes. My only complaints about this game are that climbing stairs are too slow, movement is slow and you run out of breath too quickly. That and the before mentioned boss with his attacks, he double hits the player, the attacks don't line up with animations, meaning you block when he swings but you still get hit, this is a real problem when you play on hard cause you die, a lot. It was just luck that got me through that boss, lucky blocks and moving back the whole time. Overall the game is a must play if you want a horror game with a good melee combat system

Rating: 7/10 Time: 20:00 The Good: Nice graphics for the time, melee based combat very interesting, scary and tense moments, decent story, great atmosphere and sound design The Bad: Shoddy ending, bugged achievements, combat can be stiff and awkward This game is a real pants passing experience at times. Its aged decently well. Unfortunately I'm missing two achievements which I'll come back to. The achievements were not clear in what i had to do and will require a full replay... :(

Игра от разработчиков такой серии игр как F.E.A.R. не могла быть плохой. В целом прослеживается работа этих разработчиков, линейность коридоров, умный ИИ и давящая атмосфера на протяжение всех уровней. Сам геймплей, боевка и сюжет мне понравился, но графика 50/50, хоть она и не главное в данном случае. Боевка к слову достаточно простая, но при этом даже на нормальном уровне сложности заставляет местами попотеть, особенно на босс-файтах. Для тех , кто хочет почувствовать себя детективом в триллер/хоррор игре, советую.

This game becomes laughable with its Steam Port's broken and missing audio. Download the fixes though... and this game is amazing. I absolutely loved playing through this live on stream and would love to do a second playthrough at some point

Fantastic horror game. The use of melee combat is done really well. Some story parts knock it down for me but overall a great experience.

Was decent enough at the time of launch, wouldn't say it's aged overly well tho.

amazing melee combat, nice atmosphere to it, didn't expect to have as much enjoyment from punching drugged up hobos

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Se7en is created in the image of depravity, homicide, and crime. This classic of the early 2000s deserves more attention and more recognition. Impeccable melee gameplay, excellent detective work, you feel like you are there at the scene of the crime. And it only gets more messed up the deeper you go, creating a supernatural mystery police thrill ride blurring the line between criminal and monster
