This was my first VR game, I was completely new to this technology, and despite of some blurriness, I hugely enjoyed it.
To me after Until Dawn, The Inpatient is the second best title done by SuperMassive Games. Despite of being a decent prequel, The Inpatient, unlike its predecessor, is not that action-packed and suspenseful, instead it relies more on a psychological horror. It has no score, but the scares are good.
The atmosphere is stunning just like in Until Dawn. As the title implies, we get to explore the Blackwood sanatorium before it closed down. While the place looks great, I wished it was a bit larger and some parts of the mountain could be revisited as well. In fact, I don't understand, why they didn't start the story from the point where the miners incident took place. It could make a much better experience if we had several playable characters stuck inside a cave, struggling to survive and remain human. The cave part of the prequel can still be told even now, and I recently wrote about it to SuperMassive games, but at this point I guess they're not looking to do another Until Dawn game, which is kind of sad, because I'm more than certain, the fans would love that.
The summarise this review, The Inpatient was the reason I got my VR, and I'm more than happy I did. If like myself you are crazy about Until Dawn, The Inpatient is a must-have, and you'll love it.
Go get this game!
Stay safe and thanks for reading.
