Past Cure
Worst Games of Q1 2018
Past Cure is described as ‘a dark psychological thriller that blurs the lines between dreams and reality.’ Unfortunately for those who bought the game, it ended up being more of a mundane nightmare, which had you itching to go back to your boring, ordinary life. Past Cure had so much promise in the lead up to launch. It had a focus on narrative, and what little of the game we had seen looked promising, sitting somewhere between a Max Payne game and an indie movie.
Ultimately, Past Cure is a victim of throwing too many ideas at the wall, attempting to tackle third-person shooting, psychological horror and even puzzle mechanics, all the while not fully committing to anything at all. The game is just so mediocre in everything it attempts to do. The voice acting is bad, the facial animations are bad, enemy AI is non-existent, and the whole thing is simply boring.
Past Cure will likely fade into obscurity, and those who do remember the game will be the ones constantly checking to see if their Steam refund has come in.
