Kona

...albeit not exactly what I was expecting. But really 5/5 for the athmosphere even if some things aren't always logical. I'd say KONA and FIREWATCH are both excellent and are polar opposites in terms of expectations vs reality of how the story goes. The only minor downside is the loading time between zones, what should be an instant transition sometimes results in more than ten seconds of a ticker going onscreen (and I have a good enough gaming laptop)

Overall had a great time playing this game and it has amazing atmosphere. Technical issue: Linux port requires modifying /home/$USER/.config/unity3d/Parabole/Kona/prefs before every time you start the game, else it wont start or wont load in the game. 00 and your screen pixels heightyour screen pixels width Then setting game to fullscreen in menu in graphics settings. What I did not like: 1. Survival elements such as cold and carry weight was frustrating. 2. Had to look up guides to find some puzzle items, wish there was more clues. 3. Driving and navigating was not for me I wish it had autopilot.

I wanted to like this more, since it has a lot going for it - good sounds, interesting premise, ability to drive or walk. I was pleased at the extensive options at the start (so I could turn off motion blur, bloom, grainy filter etc) and redefine keys. Unfortunately, the tooltips still showed the old keys, and I found the controls for different things a bit clunky - keys for read, for interact, for drop, for pick up, for use (turns out you have to hold it down for that). I kept having to check what I'd defined that control as, and even then I had trouble getting out of some screens if I didn't use escape on the other side of the keyboard. The options were also clunky to set - I clicked on one to change it, and it went red, which I assumed meant disabled. But that didn't work. Then I tried the arrows next to the option. That didn't work. You have to click on it THEN use the arrows. Why not just have a simple toggle box for each option? It was the narration that stopped it being a 4 star game for me. As you walk around a voice comments on your actions in the third person. You have no idea who is speaking, or why, and your character seems to ignore it. But not only was it a huge distraction, the things said were often stupid, or apparent attempts to be comic. I would be in a creepy building, listening for noises, then suddenly a voiceover would make a comment about tidiness or whatever. Moodkill. There may be a setting to turn it off, but obviously the first time you play you don't know how relevant/good/useful it might be, so leave it - and before long the excitement and tension of the opening scenario has been lost by silliness. At that point I didn't feel like continuing. I have no idea what the point of the voiceover is, but it is counterproductive. Imagine playing System Shock, and as you did things a laconic voice suddenly said "And at that point Goggles decided he really should have done a course in engineering" or somesuch. Without the narrator: 4*; if I'd completed the game, maybe 5*.

its a really great game with mystery and survival elements with great atmosphere

Good game but if I try to start it from the GOG start page on here it crashes every time and asks me to send the crash report to the developer, but doesnt provide a way to do that. If I go to the install location and click on the exe file from there it starts fine. Not sure what the difference is but its kinda annoying.
