1/4/2024 0 Comments Last year the nightmare![]() The time limit feels right, as it allows the teens to move at a methodical pace while accounting for the fact that deaths, which happen often, slow them down from completing the three or four rote fetch-quest objectives. It’s Halloween night and five stereotypical teenagers from different walks of life - jock, nerd, popular girl, cool dude, outcast - have to come together to escape one of three different but fairly generic supernatural evils at their high school within a 16-minute time limit. Its novelty doesn’t come from its premise, which is rather cliched within the horror movie genre it emulates. That said, with only three maps, no progression system, and intermittent glitches, it does have an air of early access to it at the start of its 90-day exclusive period on the Discord Store. Whether you play as the killer or one of the hapless teenagers, its action is tense and strategic to the end. Those who have played Friday the 13th or Dead by Daylight will be familiar with the premise of one powerful player hunting down several weak ones as they try to escape, but Last Year: The Nightmare introduces a couple new twists that make it among the best of this burgeoning sub-genre thus far. In conclusion, this game is not a competitor to DBD, it's a replacement for what people lost out with Friday due to the lawsuit.The title of Last Year: The Nightmare may be short on inspiration, but its take on asymmetric survival horror multiplayer has plenty. It won't attract a lot of DBD fans though with it's cartoony game play and chatting with random obnoxious trolls online. 3.) If they do stick with their original plan and actually follow through, it could be a viable switch for people who previously loved Friday. ![]() 2.) You can actually hit the monsters back in this game! Unlike some other games which rely on you running around in circles countless times making the game extremely repetitive. Still, with a lack of content and the game coming a little too close to mimicking Friday, I don't see much longevity for this game. This being said, if you liked Friday, you'll probably love this game with all it's obnoxious trolls making dumb and inappropriate jokes, cartoonish graphics and annoying one-liners from the characters, The Positives: 1.) It is new and if you're feeling burned by the recent lawsuit against Friday, this will give you something new to play. 3.) As far as content goes, it's falling into the same patch that Friday did when they started out. It takes away the horror aspect and just makes it a comedy game without all the existential aspects the other games have. It's not cartoony in a good way like some other popular horror games like Limbo or Bendy. The bugs are almost as bad as the players jokes, did I forget to mention that? 2.) It might just be me but I can't stand cartoonish graphics and this "horror" game. The Negatives: 1.) If you like having trolls chat racist, sexist garbage in your ear all game while making idiotic jokes, then this game is for you. The Negatives:ġ.) If you like having trolls This game has all the positives that Friday the 13th had but also has all the negatives. This game has all the positives that Friday the 13th had but also has all the negatives.
