Unreal Engine Parasite Inside [v0.4.0 public] [Kodman]
Short 4.0 Review from the top of my head:
+ Lotus is now a boss fight
(+ Good decision to remove the r*** scene in the beginning, although I think this was done in an earlier update)
- I don't like the new flashlight. Considering that it's now directional, it has a very short range and I definitely miss the old tactical gun flashlight
- I don't like the new respawn mechanic. When you "die" to spore infection, you're teleported to some random place at the cost of 10 % mental health and have to re-orient and run back to wherever you've left off. So it breaks the flow of the game and thus usually makes me reload, while not having any real consequences - or at least getting any interesting cutscenes out of it. It also seems almost impossible / very tedious to start TEP by getting infected ten times in a rowwithout dying from physical damage.
+/- I honestly don't care about the collectible cards. Please don't invest too much into them...
+/- Please also make sure to wrap up the loose story threads revolving around the other crew members such as the two cannibal brothers and the BJ guy. They can't just stay in their beds forever, can they?

How do you beat that lotus thing then? I shot her at least ten times into the head. Nothing! The reactors just explode and do nothing useful. It seems that the evolution path is the only possible here. I would like to test the other path but can't get there. The worst thing is, from the last possible save point, you have to do quite some stuff before you can enter the boss fight room again and there is no save point available anymore after you dropped from the ceiling. That is quite sucking. I think a lot of players will get frustrated here and quit playing. It is also quite unfair that ten shots in the head will not kill it. This is also quite unrealistic.
The thing the AI was true in previous versions, technically now it should be real voice acting, at least based on the changelog. Still sounds close to the previous versions to me.

The lotus is killable with just the pistol, but I believe it took me around 20 headshots or so, and I'm not sure how many reactor explosions she can tank (her health pool is a bit insane).
I doubt it. The voice is so wildly inconsistent and reads the lines so bizarrely, It seems unlikely they paid someone to do it. And if it turns out they DID pay a person to dot this, they should consider a refund.

That is early enough in the game to be covered by the existing Walkthrough if you don't want to wait:

See, I have chosen "easy" difficulty. 20 headshots is not easy! That's insane! I would suggest for the next update to reduce the health of the lotus thing A LOT, at least for easy difficulty. She or it is also too fast. I can't run all the time while delivering 20 headshots. It's really too difficult and frustrating.

If somebody (like) has problem with Fatal Error right after starting up game it´s because of AMD + DX12
Try one of these:
Option A – launch argument
-dx11
Option B – config
Create or edit:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ParasiteInside\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini (if not existing create one -> .txt -> Save as... .ini file)
Add:
[/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings]
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11
For me worked Option B. Launch game and have fun
Hope this helps!

H7UW4XM85E7RLZLS i think this one still works, released today
Lotus can be killed without shooting. There are 4 terminals in the boss room, and when one of them is activated, a capsule descends that explodes, causing damage to the Lotus if it is in the affected area. This area is painted on the floor, take a closer look.
Does anybody know if the code to open the control room is read from left to right or viceversa? I've tried putting all the combinations for it and it does not work for me. Thanks in advance
