Daymare: 1998 Standard Edition - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

Daymare: 1998 is a third person survival horror game that recreates the mood of iconic titles from the 90's. An incident that turns a small town into a deadly zone, three characters to play with and little time to find the truth, before it's mutated citizens abruptly end your mission. There are some bad reviews out there claiming this is a poor man's Resident Evil knock off, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It is totally opposite & well worth investing in, I love it personally & would highly recommend it if your a true blue survival horror fan!

The harsh reviews this game is receiving is not fair in my opinion. The reloading is a pain but other than that it’s pretty good. The storyline is ok but the game play is really fun its challenging and it has a spooky vibe to it. Try it.

Daymare is awesome throwback to the survival horror games I enjoyed in the past. It’s no Resident Evil or Silent Hill but it’s still fun.

Great visuals with a classic feel in its homage to Resident Evil 2, which it set out to originally be a remake of. Interesting reload system that doesn't add too much to the game, unfortunately.

4* I gave it it 5 because I feel like there are a lot of people writing reviews that don’t understand 90s survival horror and what this game was intended to feel like. You’ll notice a lot of younger kids mad that it doesn’t feel like RE6 or RE5 (these are hardly survival horror games) action packed with explosions and all that. The reload system was very unique and a nice touch. You can choose your reload which is extremely realistic. You can reload faster but drop your magazine Requiring you to have to go back for it (speed reload) or reload slower and retain the magazine (tactical reload) if you’ve ever been in the infantry or had tactical training you may appreciate this realistic consideration. This game pays tribute to 90’s survival horror games(hence the name) Not your more recent shooters. Those of us who grew up playing these games (Dino crisis, Resident Evil, Silent Hill) will definitely enjoy. The price feels a little steep considering it could use improvement but I’m very satisfied the game felt nostalgic brought back memories of playing resident evil with my friends huddled around the tv.
