Scorn

good game, however relies heavily on your own problem solving skills as there is no instruction whatsoever, however once you are on track, the game is brilliant.

It was a seemless experience from start to finish in this disgusting, visceral world.

This may not be the greatest game gameplay-wise, but its great visuals, audio-design and some of the exploration will keep you pushing forward. The story is only told by the world itself and no voice-overs or written text and explaination is given. Some puzzles are a bit frustrating and at no time you get taken by the hand or even hinted in the right direction. Highly recommended for fans of H.R. Giger.

Really loved the vibes, this game is a piece of art. But the combat just sucks, hated every single enemies. Maybe it would've been better as a walking simulator with some gory moments

Firstly, there is a wide spread sound issue and a lot people experience it (I was only hearing partial sounds). In an exaustive try-and-error, I did manage to make it work: configuring my output to use NONE Audio Enhancement, change the overall quality to CD, restart the computer and restart a fresh save game. The game itself is a work of art derived from the work of HR Giger. You navigate all his works, with their chromed hypersexualized mechanical-biological phalluses, sex, and violence. The art aspect of this product is suberb, specially when the visuals and sound work together to bring the cosmic dread to be alive and struggling in this place - a long forgotten ruin of a masochist, pain inducing, and fearful living space of machines and 'pieces of flesh'. Like Giger works, all the imagery and symbolism reflects the complications that we are presented with the mechanicisms of being alive: to think, to feel, to breed, to survive. And, in the end, everything will lead to sex, gore, and violation of the body. As life itself. The narrative is abstractly presented, the traversal is unnerving, the sounds are horryfing. Everything a labor of love to bring Giger's art subject alive. Considering the interactive part, I do not personally think bad of "walking simulators" or purely narrative-exploration games, great part of the game is about this added the solving puzzles. The only frustrating part its when you get lost because the gorgeous map is a little confusing when indicating its paths and interactive parts (perhaps by purpose). For me, the worst part is when Scorn tried to be more "gamey" with its FPS-ish experience. Its frustrating, unresponsive, and a little bit unfair sometimes. I really thing that the game would be better without its guns, combat and "bosses". So keep that in mind if you gonna play it (preferebly with a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller) It is a NICHE title about dreadful cosmic body horror - just keep it in mind if you buy it.
