After loud gunfire, the quiet becomes unsettling. Reviews of Chapter One describe a rhythm that lets action fall away and makes the next dark passage feel threatening.
Secret hunting feeds back into the fighting. Players like finding supplies and weapon upgrades that feed into combat.
What makes it fun
The mine falls quiet after the fight
After the gunfire, the music stops and you move through a dark mine by lighter light. The quiet before the next enemy appears keeps the tension alive.
Secrets pay off in combat
Side paths and hidden spots can yield supplies and weapon parts. What you find while exploring gives you more to work with in the next fight.
Slide in or hold a corner
You can slide through enemy fire or use corners and cover to draw foes out. Against a group, you choose when to push in and when to wait for a shot.
