What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"Obscure: The Aftermath isn’t survival/horror reinvented. It isn’t survival/horror perfection. But like the retro RPGs, which serve their purpose by reiterating SNES gameplay and graphics that feel older, The Aftermath serves the survival/horror fan by giving them one last romp with the style that defined PSone and PS2."
"All in all, despite its issues (some of which we hope will be fixed, others of which - the hilariously bad translation, for instance - we hope won't), Obscure II looks to offer a second helping of impossibly camp, nonsensical fun. Sure, if you're looking for scares, you're more likely to find them on a Patch Adams DVD than here. However, if you're in the mood for a refreshingly ridiculous Survival Horror adventure, this could be the first proper popcorn romp of the summer."
Obscure: The Aftermath is a surprisingly solid game for about fifteen bucks. But the lack of feasible cooperative options makes the PC version of Aftermath the weakest of the bunch. You'll still have a bit of fun playing on your own, but it's just not the same.
