It’s a perfect example of the attempt at objective ratings gone to shit. Maybe I’m getting melodramatic here, but if the game is fun then people should buy it. They complain about the graphics, the lack of depth in the gameplay, and some other stuff but then say the game is fun. I’ve read a lot of reviews for this game (holy shit, you mean there are reviews besides the ones on this site?!) and nearly all of them end up giving the game something like a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 but then end up spending the whole review justifying why they didn’t give it a 3. So where does that leave us? I’m not sure, so on to the review.Īctually, there’s still some more crap I want to say before the review proper. I managed to play Ys on the Master System when I was a wee lad and then Ys 3 on my Genesis when I was a little older and many are the hours I’ve spent on eBay, contemplating a purchase of a Turbo Duo just so I might play Ys Book 2. You see, I know enough to know there were two Ys 4s, and I know that this game I’m supposed to be reviewing here, The Ark of Napishtim, is really Ys VI.

I lie somewhere between the average gamer, blissfully ignorant of the Ys (said to be pronounced “ease,” but I’ve been saying it “eyes” since I was 7 and I’ll be damned if I’m going to change my life for something as small as the truth) series of games and the ubercore, those who have played every Ys, including both versions of 4. When you play with a friend, Obscure II becomes a much more fun and compelling game, that is the best way to experience it.Character sprites displayed during key dialog are big and well done. Here is a character dies, it is game over! Also, when the AI is controlling a companion, they are way to trigger happy! It is very frustrating to see them blow through a bunch of ammo as ammo is scarce. In the first game, if a character died you kept on playing, but you got a different ending. This does keep you on your toes and I do like the idea of it. It has a random nature to it where the AI will randomly decide where items are and what items you will get in any given area. With Obscure The Aftermath what we have here is not a bad game, but there are a few issues.

The gameplay of the first game was not amazing, but I feel the story and characters, plus the multiple endings made it better.
They feel way too Silent Hill inspired for my liking and are more like twisted versions of what a person was than just a straight up monster. The only downside to the presentation is the monster/creature designs.

It is a damn shame they did not release this on PS3 or 360 with an HD upgrade. When it comes to the PS2 and in terms of visuals I would say this is one of the more unsung games. It also has a very fitting college rock kind of soundtrack too.įor a later PS2 game, this also looks great. The voice cast here does a great job and actually helps sell the rather weak plot way better than you would think. Obscure II is even better in this regard. The first game looked good, had a great soundtrack, and offered impressive voice acting. One thing I have to give Obscure The Aftermath a ton of credit for is the presentation. It is not horrible, but it lacks that little something that made the first game so special.

Honestly, the plot this time around is full of cliches and just not as good as the first game. Once again there is a strange flower and once again it is turning people into monsters. The story has moved on a few years and now takes place in a college town. They introduce a bunch of new characters, but it is kind of lame they just made a decision about what the “real” ending of the last game was. With Obscure The Aftermath they have decided that only three of the characters from the original game, Shannon, Stan and Kenny survived.

It was kind of like The Faculty or Scream in that it was a teen horror movie and it had multiple characters, different endings, and a rather interesting story all around.
I have to start by saying the first Obscure really clicked with me. The previous game had come out like four years earlier, not exactly set the world on fire, and by the time this came out we had the PS3 and Xbox 360, yet this game was still made for the PS2 and the PSP, although they did make a Nintendo Wii version as well. No matter if you call it Obscure The Aftermath or Obscure II, this is a pretty decent horror/survival game that back in 2008 when it was released I was pretty surprised that we got it.
