Limitations can be great in horror games, donвЂ™t get me wrong вЂ“ one of the best things about Outlast and Amnesia is that youвЂ™re unarmed, for example вЂ“ but the poor controls in Condemned donвЂ™t enhance the experience appreciably.

ThereвЂ™s no ability to lean round corners, either, which is infuriating when fighting enemies with firearms. You have pathetically low stamina, can only run for short distances, and walk at a snailвЂ™s pace, especially down stairs. While enemies can hide from you, youвЂ™re more or less unable to conceal yourself. The game also lacks any kind of stealth element, which is unfortunate, as stealth would have greatly contributed to the feeling of oppressive gloom the game relies on so strongly. I played the game on PC, which may have made things worse, but even on a console, the inability to jump or crouch at will in a first person game is pretty much inexcusable, in my opinion. First and most damningly, Condemned has absolutely terrible controls. Despite its flaws the game remains a somewhat underrated title heavy on atmosphere and bone-crunchingly intimate action.

ItвЂ™s a grubby little linear neo-noir horror game that occasionally rises to rapturous heights of dread, but which remains fraught with frustrations. I picked up Condemned: Criminal Origins some time ago, but only recently finished playing it, searching for something to scratch the survival horror itch until Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within hit Steam.
