Slow, buggy and painful

I really wanted to give this the chance and actually complete it, even though I knew it was going to be a slog after the first chapter... However, I ran into a bug somewhere near the end (I guess) of chapter 4, which made it impossible to progress and when I restarted the game, it didn't restart and the checkpoint but at the beginning of the chapter - this was the breaking point for me, as I wasn't in the mood to go through the snail-paced experience again. Other than the above, to give a general overview of the game - the atmosphere and the graphics are nice, but that's pretty much it. Usually, these short and simple story-driven games at least make up for everything else with their interesting story and writing, but this game doesn't have that. I haven't finished the game, but I'm pretty sure I know what the big reveal was going to be anyway, because it seems pretty obvious from very early in the game. The writing is also very stiff and simple and voice acting is really bad - they should have just let them speak Polish and have subtitles on at all times... The controls are atrocious, the character is moving at an incredibly slow speed and using shift won't make you run but instead just walk slightly faster. The way you interact with objects is made unnecessarily complicated. In general, it feels like the controls have been made so bad just to increase the length of the game. Sadly, I can't recommend this one at all :(

Short but interesting

A short but interesting novel like game. Gameplay is very simple, and very easy, so only three stars. Though I'm not sure what could've improved the gameplay without breaking the story. Encountered one bug casuing the character to get stuck when loading a save (turn off head bob to fix it). But other than that, it was a nice and smooth ride.

Interesting premise, flawed execution

The game has an interesting plot taking place in alternative history, where ww2 ended differently. Unfortunately Paradise Lost is just a boring walking simulator with some bugs developers couldn't be bothered to patch up. If you have Head Bob setting enabled, you won't be able to walk at all after you load saved game. Walking sim witch broken walking? Really? This isn't something difficult to diagnose and fix but no, nobody had time or will to do it. What's worse, I sometimes encountered a bug during interactions causing playable character blocking itself, which required loading last checkpoint to fix. And even when everything's working well, the hero is moving very slow. The game is also very short and initially interesting story quite quickly turns bland. On the plus side, there's really interesting dilemma with the final choice. Most of these cons I could really overlook, given that devs aren't some big company with thousands employees and loads of money, but I really can't say anything good about devs who don't patch bugs.

Not worth the price

On sale this game might be worth it, but at its current listing it's about 3-4 hours of gameplay for 15$. Nearly every other game has a better price to playtime ratio. Paradise Lost also doesn't really feel like a game, you don't make any meaningful decisions, you are on rails the entire experience at a cripplingly slow pace, and the entire experience consists of you walking around dimly lit rooms and caves while you listen to a young girl's voice occasionally. It's another one of those walking simulators that have become so abundant in the gaming market in recent years. If you are into those, then by all means get the game, otherwise I'd wait until there's a sale and you have absolutely nothing better to do.

Okay-ish

Not bad, not great... passable. If you like walking simulators, without puzzles; this might be for you. Interesting story. Visuals and atmosphere are great. Notes, newspappers, etc. scattered through the place, leaving you wanting to know more. The problem is that the game is somewhat linear, and you can't really go too much outside of the beaten path. Character development and dialogue, seems somewhat lacking. And i wished they spent some more time on that. The character movement is also slow and clunky, and does not feel like you are controlling a twelve year old... more like eighty. Performance were good for the most part.. some occasional stutters. Did not really encounter any bugs, atleast nothing that i noticed.
