Low poly holiday in brown town. Trusty super shotgun included. Spam E against every wall for secrets. Another exercise in scumming on Very Hard. Having an army of doggos eating all the rats was cool. Viscera Cleanup was also a nice gag. Fun levels at just the right size. The egg drop game was nerve wracking.
HROT is such an incredibly unique game. While the majority of the gameplay is pretty standard boomer shooter gameplay, every once in a while it will hit you with some crazy curveball that keeps everything fresh. The more normal aspects of the gameplay feel very fleshed out and polished, movement feels good, and all the guns fill their niche well. Overall, the gameplay experience is cohesive and enjoyable, and it changes things up enough to always stay interesting. The biggest strength of HROT, in my eyes, however, is the atmosphere and world building. The game takes place in a Soviet post apocalyptic Czechoslovakia. Based on this description, I expected something akin to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or Metro, and while they do share some faint similarities, HROT carves out a unique identity of its own. It feels like most things in this game have a meaning or an idea behind them, but it was very hard for me to actually assign meaning to some of them. Instead, they conveyed only a vague notion of a feeling or an idea, but these notions ultimately added up to a very distinct feeling of post Soviet despair. It is one of the few games that consistently surprised me without ever feeling random or incoherent. This is a game you absolutely should not skip. It is weird in all the right ways, and with around seven hours of playtime, it is something you can comfortably finish in a week or so.
HROT is a game that takes a great amount of pride in it's absurdity. If you interact with a picture of Lenin, a smooch sound effect will play. You will often walk into a room or an encounter, and find at least one enemy loudly throwing up. Every time you finish an act, the game will give you a real life recipe for some food. There are multiple mechanics that are underutilized, and left behind the moment the level is over. This is not a weakness for the game. It may be its greatest strength. HROT bleeds passion from every pixel, and so much of what makes this game remarkable is the wonder you get waiting to see where this ride will take you next
