Best Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Interested in your guys thoughts on this game? Worth playing and how long does it take to beat? I know @stepee is a big fan of this game but I need some fresh impressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokt Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Its a walking simulator with some combat sprinkled in. Great atmosphere, story, sound design, and setting. Its also got some little side quest lore tidbits that you can explore and find. I think average playthrough is about 8 hours. I highly recommend it, but also would note that its not for everyone.

Best Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Played for 2.5 hours. Disturbing and unpleasant are the words that come to mind. It's pretty interesting but very dark. I'll try and stick with it but it can be a challenge. Navigating is the puzzle at hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Overall, its a world and story you want to see, but the Combat is acceptable at best and annoying at its worst. Also, there is a puzzle section that I HATE because of the intentional visual distortions going on. It all fits with the story and world, but it didn't make that particular part any less annoying. Still, I'm glad I played and beat it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I’m pretty sure we ARE all talking about that same damn spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggit Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Which part is that? I can't think of any spot that caused me that much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It's really good. Definitely need to wear good headphones while playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbobo Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 the sound work is the best in any videogame, nothing comes close to those voices in her head. The combat is ok, the puzzles are a pain in the ass, have a walkthough video queued up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youre using the TV speakers or a soundbar, you are missing 3/4 of what this game is about. I think even if you had a high-end surround system, unless fully dolby atmos, you would still be missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number305 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I think I agree with several other of you. When I started this game I was blown away. The graphics and the sound are good(sound work is excellent). However after forcing my way through a few puzzles - and looking one up online (when I looked it up I figured out I was staring right at what I needed to do... just couldn't really see it) I realized I wasn't having much fun and I stopped playing. The developer has a bright future. Looking forward to what comes next, but this game for me was a miss. I might continue playing at some point with a guide handy just to see the end.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 A fantastic visual and aural experience that would've been SO MUCH BETTER if it was a pure "walking simulator" stripped of all of its gameplay elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 I agree with the puzzles being a bit tough thus far. One was pretty lame that I had to look it up. I was RIGHT there. I'm using headphones. It's cool to hear the voices etc. I'll beat it cause it's quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexterryu Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 One of my favorite games of last year. Highly recommend playing it and sticking with it. The puzzles were tough early on, but your brain sort of gets better at seeing their seeing/solving them. I personally enjoyed the combat... it isn't complex but it's very responsive. The way you can sort of perma-die if you get killed enough means that it is a little on the easy side though. The story gets better as it goes on and as others have said definitely play it with a good set of headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even watched a video walkthrough and I still couldn't figure it out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
