FRIST_008 A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead Review

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead made me happy. The game is simple: basically it's a walking simulator where you can't run, and you often have to walk even slower than normal. But it's atmospheric. The main character is a pregnant asthmatic: the combo for not surviving in this universe is complete. Everything makes her ten times sicker, and any physical effort turns into an asthma attack. The story is so-so; the game holds up purely on its atmosphere. The notes are pointless: they mostly describe the history of the area and the level. There are items hidden on the levels that give you credits, on the same principle as the coins in The Devil in Me. At first, survival comes down to looking for inhalers and flashlight batteries, and later bottles, sandbags and even a shotgun come into play. Bottom line: for me it's a 9, and for those who haven't seen the movie, an 8.
