Paradise Lost

I enjoyed the fact that there were no enemies to shoot or kill etc. Walking around the environment and uncovering the story was enjoyable. The story was readable but I hoped it would turn out as it did. You do have some choice. The graphics are nice although I will say that the HDR setting is not right or something. This is the only game I have that, when enabled, just makes everything way to dark to see. I also had to keep going into settings and turning it off every time I started a game. The technical issues I had were a few texture loading issues but those were rare. The real only complaint I have is that the prompts for interaction sometimes wouldn't be there. Reload to last checkpoint and voila! it is fixed. The last issue only happened in the first 2 chapters on 2 different computers. When loading a checkpoint my character was frozen in place. I could walk in place and roatate etc but just couldn't actually move. Simply going into the settings menu and then back to the game screen fixed this. I recommend this if you like to explore and spend time looking at objects in the environment and piecing together a story.

i wish i could get to the end of the game so i can write an honest review about the story, and the story defenitly sound good, but i couldn't get to chapter 3. the auto save not really save the game and when you load the game you appear far away behind where you left off, and then you can't move so you are forced to reload the chapter but it send you to the beginning of the previews chapter.. so i get to chapter 3 and the game crashes all the time, i choose reload chapter and it sent me to the beginning of chapter 2 so i tried to speedrun back to chapter 3 but the game crashes all the time because the UE4 is unstabble.. game is full with bugs and now i can't even finish the game... 2 stars is only because the story sound intresting and that's all.. fix the bugs and i might play it again. game played in september 2021

I repeatedly encounter a VERY serious bug in this game. The game is divided into Chapters. During each Chapter there are automatic checkpoints. You're supposed to be able to exit anytime and resume at the last checkpoint. Sounds good, but there is a major bug. Every time I exit after a checkpoint and try to resume at that checkpoint, the checkpoint loads, but Szymon is stuck in place. I can look around, and I can see Szymon's legs moving and hear the sound of his footsteps. But he is frozen in place. The only way I can play is by restarting the Chapter at the beginning. For some reason, the developers in their eternal wisdom and superior intelligence, only use a single checkpoint that is overwritten every time....Idiots!! As far as story, graphics, voice acting, and audio, the game is pretty good. Gameplay is a little light, even for a walking simulator. All you can do is walk around, read notes, use the radio to talk to Eve, replay the memory tubes. Finally as most reviewers mention, walking is painfully slow. And running just barely increases how fast you move. Running in this game is slower than walking in other games. Graphics - 4.5 stars Voice Acting - 4 stars Story - 3.5 stars Sound - 3 stars Gameplay C - 2 stars I'm not asking for a refund because I don't want GOG to loose out on their cut of the sale. GOG shouldn't pay because the developers suck. If GOG goes away, then we'll be stuck with only Steam, Origin, Ubisoft, etc. Have to all do what we can to ensure GOG stays around as an alternative. My advice is look for another game on GOG. Don't take a chance with this game. You may be lucky and not encounter this bug. But then again, why risk it. Spend your money at GOG on a game that isn't buggy.

Unplayable due to terrible peformance (5700XT, 16GB 3600, R5 2600), and lowering the settings barely help. It runs on Unreal 4 but the devs evidently didn't have any idea what they were doing. And yes, the game looks decent on max settings, but the FPS tanks to anywhere between 20 to 50. Lowering the settings to the absolute minimum does give you more frames, but the game won't look that good anymore, obviously. And playing a game of this type that doesn't look good? Not a great experience, especially when the visuals are supposed to be a big part of it. Also the in-game walking speed is ridiculously low and the game is basically just walking. And yes, I get that you are supposed to "take in" the world and the atmosphere but slow movement has never been needed for that. Stalker, Morrowind, Crysis etc. have already proven that. You can be fast and get immersed at the same time. Forcing the player to walk extremely slowly says to me that the game designers didn't even consider that, or didn't have faith in their ability to create a world that was immersive enough for players to decide to stop and look around. I can zoom around in Crysis 3 like a madman and still occasionally stop to look around and go "wow" because the world simply looks good. Games that didn't even try to be "immersive walking simulators" have been more immersive than this garbage. So in this game, instead of taking in the world, I clicked the uninstall button. That was the most satisfying thing I experienced while playing this game. Overall this product is pathetic in its technicality and its design.

The initial visuals and atmosphere were pretty nice, and I was enjoying the start of the game. When I next start the game up, I cant move my character. So i restart the game from the beginning, as the problem happened on prior checkpoint too, as there is only 1 save game. I start the game again later, and I am frozen in place again. Google tells me I need to turn of "head bobbing" setting, idiot, so I do that. Aaaaand, it worked 1 time only. Uninstalled this game as I will never wast another minute of my life on this buggy disaster. Big dissapointment.
