Brought Back Memories

I was on the John Jones Nutty Putty Cave Rescue Team back in 2009. It's been 16 years since I've been in the cave and going through this tour helped me remember some of the passages I've forgotten. It was fun taking a walk down memory lane and I think it will help those who weren't involved get a sense of what we were up against. Well done. The rest of the game was fun too. It's nice to push through ridiculously tight passages without the physical drain that comes with it.

Everything was fine….

I am SOOOOOOO mad at this game right now. I figured writing a review while I’m ticked off would make me feel better. First of all, if you play Gorilla tag, you’ll love this game because you move pretty much the same. It would be great if you just just move with a controller, but you can only do that when you’re standing up, which is far, and few between. Graphics are great, it really feels like being in a cave if you immerse yourself. Which leads me to my dilemma. The $&@(;/- Maw!!! So all the caves up until this point were great. The game was nice, and relaxing. Then it’s like the developers were like, “nah, let’s give them a cave that will make them never want to play again. Well, succeed in that they did!!! Pretty sure the Maw is impossible, so I’m good. Which puts me into the newest update, the Nutty Putty Cave! This is awesome! To have a nice audio tour into the closed off cave where John Jones (RIP) passed on. It’s a fitting tribute to him. All in all, this game sucks! No, I’m kidding, it’s great. I highly recommend it. Especially if you like games that tick you off!!!!

Just one thing.. (not serious)

I love this game to death, mapping out the tunnels and trying my best not to get lost is so fun. The only thing is.. I swear I heard someone whisper “wake up” in the Devil’s gut map (free roam). I THOUGHT WE SAID NO CHEAP SCARES! I got off the game so fast.. but I’m gonna play later today. So the game keeps you hooked even after you get the life scared out of you. Honestly, thank you for making this game

GTA 6 graphics.

This game not only looks good but feels good. I see lots of people that can't even run the game which is sad but it's usually because they have in old headsets with not a lot of storage. I can't wait until the next update. I hope you can play multi-player in the horror mode. The story line is also good so far.

This is an absolutely amazing game!

People do say this game is very hard, but if you practice and keep trying it can be an amazing experience. The new Nutty Putty update is amazing I really enjoyed exploring this forgotten cave. (I’ve actually been in it before) The cave is extremely accurate to the real thing and brought back lots of memories. The horror mode is very exhilarating and scary. But it was obviously well made because. Well… it really is scary! (I only recommend this mode to people of 13 plus)The story mode of this game is great. I love the voice lines and how deep this story goes. (No spoilers!) Every one of these levels are different and difficult. This game allows you to test your skills in many different ways. All of the mechanics work pretty much perfectly after updates and fixes. People who did try the game and quit because it was “too hard.” Please try the game again I’m sure you will enjoy it. It truly has changed a lot. And people who haven’t started yet. Get ready to be addicted!
