![]() ![]() There have been checkpoints added for the full release-but even with checkpoints, going back over parts of the facility you’ve already cleared can be mind-numbing, and sometimes for our group that led to even more mistakes. If you die near the end of a level, that often means lots of gameplay that has to be retread. And while I can appreciate a good challenge, I find GFTO’s form of difficulty to be incredibly tedious. Security doors you pass through start to become harder, too-with more potential waves of enemies coming to meet your team. Enemies become more abundant, and new, harder threats start to replace familiar enemies. Instead, each level deeper you progress, the harder things get. Saying GTFO doesn’t have difficulty levels isn’t entirely correct. While a lot of cooperative games offer various degrees of difficulty levels, GTFO is meant to be difficult-with things getting harder the deeper you go. Also, resources are scarce, so those teams that go in guns blazing might find themselves out of ammo before long. Most of mutants are sleeping, but waking them up can cause a horrible day for you and your crew-so stealth is important. The only problem is, the complex is overrun with horrible mutants. In it, you play as one of four hapless people, forced by the enigmatic warden to go deep into an underground complex to complete various tasks, sometimes retrieving an item to bring back. GTFO is a first person cooperative horror survival game. When GTFO was surprise released last week or so, I figured it was the perfect time for my group and I to get back into GTFO’s enigmatic and terrifying Complex-and while it definitely is, losing the novelty certainly made GTFO lose some of its luster-but its 1.0 release brought some interesting new reasons to keep going deeper. ![]() But then, one day, we just stopped playing and never looked back. Also, sneaking and bopping mutants as a group had never looked better or been more fun. We really loved sneaking around its vast underground facility, planning our next move, and watching it all go wrong as we scrambled to survive. When GTFO went into early access, my group of friends and I played the hell out of it. Check out all of Genesis Owusu’s tour dates here.I’ve played a lot of GTFO, just not recently. His live set is an unshakeable thrill and one you’ll want to catch this summer. Then Owusu will be the supporting act on tours for Glass Animals, Khruangbin, and Tame Impala. Things kick off next week with performances at music festivals like Australia’s Splendour In The Grass and Lollapalooza in Chicago. “GTFO” precedes a number of high profile upcoming tour stops for Owusu. “Bankruptcy, depression, sickness God himself can try to stand in the way, but a struggler has to keep struggling. Strugglers, doing whatever they can to get through hell and high water,” Owusu explained in a statement. In the video, directed by Uncle Friendly’s Rhett Wade-Ferrell, Owusu is driven to Jack Torrance-like madness chasing an escaped cockroach. There’s a backing choir humming underneath the track as Owusu waxes on pushing back against forces trying to eradicate folks towards the margins of society. And spit in my hand and it told me it’s a blessing,” he sings in the song’s rhythmic opening spoken word. “Singing hymns to a God that I abandoned. The debut album feels like the tip of the iceberg for the rapper and Owusu has delivered a new track today in the menacing, choral “GTFO,” ahead of a big summer of concerts. Still riding the awesome wave of his ARIA 2021 Australian Album Of The Year award for Smiling With No Teeth, Genesis Owusu is proving himself to be a surging creator with an imaginative mind that we’re just starting to scratch the surface of. ![]()
