Bland, slow and boring.
I had just completed the game, and I am dissatisfied so much, to say at least, that I have opted to write a review, which is not what I usually do. The environment this game presents might at first give a mixed impression of Layers of Fear and Amnesia. It claims to have lots of details, and there are lots of object to look at. The problem with these objects is that despite there are lots of them, majority of them are just the noise, as they aren't related to the story in any way, not even qualifying as red herring. Your interaction with the world is largely limited to "take this item, look at it, put it back". That's mostly it. The mere presence of an inventory in the game is an overkill - the game makes no use of it at all, you have to carry items in hands. Given the frustratingly slow pace the protagonist glides through the house, testing even simple ideas like "get the matchbox, try to light up candles" turns out to be a task that is easier to be abandoned rather than carried out. The story itself is short and boring, up to the level of making it hard to follow the plot. It's a somebody's lesbian love drama, reciting memories somebody had, digging into dirt clothes somebody had. Does it trigger at least a minimum emotional response? Not at slightest. It does literally nothing to even try to bond with the person who is playing this. There is no plot buildup, no advancement, no culmination. It just ends up abruptly at one point without answering anything, only giving a way for speculation, and only if you cared enough to immerse in the plot, which I couldn't force myself into. Summarizing, I have been expecting the classical quest and/or explorative experience, but instead got a far-fetched failed love story of people I don't care about within an environment that effectively prevents any exploration "at my own pace", forcing me to snail-crawl through the house. My expectations were not met. Wouldn't recommend.
Hilft dir das weiter?
