MY REVIEW • 6.7 HOURS PLAYED
I Am Alive
What I liked
I liked the post-apocalyptic atmosphere and the idea of surviving in a destroyed city where resources are limited. Climbing through damaged buildings also gives the game some interesting moments.
What I didn't like
The controls can feel awkward, and the game becomes repetitive. I also felt like the survival concept had more potential than what the game actually delivered.
Story
Searching for your family after the disaster gives you a reason to keep moving through the city, but the story didn't keep me interested enough.
Combat & Gameplay
I liked that ammunition is limited and sometimes simply pointing a gun at an enemy can be useful. It makes you think before starting a fight.
Final Thoughts
There are some good survival ideas and a strong atmosphere here, but the controls, repetition and limited gameplay kept me from enjoying it more.
