It has that same autumnal vibe as RE4, these dark forests and abandoned townships calling to mind the ones I explored in <del>Spain<\/del> a lonely and rural part of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Cultic also boasts a simple, but gratifying weapon upgrade system like RE4&#8217;s, and its variety of encounters also reminds me of Capcom&#8217;s opus. Cultic is always surprising and exciting in this classico action movie way, lurching from one memorable set piece to another. You can go from wide open cultist base clearing amid sniper fire, to being hunted by chainsaw minibosses in a hedge maze, to exploring a claustrophobic asylum\u2060\u2014and that&#8217;s all in one level.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I was the only one out there who was confused about Cultic&#8217;s release plans: It was never explicitly an early access game, but it was <em>pretty much<\/em> early access as far as the end user was concerned. Instead of paying $20 upfront and getting part of the game, then the rest later, like you would with a New Blood shooter, each half of Cultic is $10, with Chapter Two categorized as DLC on Steam.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0
