GRAVEN

I've played mostly on Steam Deck. It's fun, but has a slow start. Takes a while before you get abilities and equipment that are rewarding and fun. Exploration is frustrating without a map and the environment isn't easy to learn/that memorable. When you resume after "Save and Quit" it resets you to the hub - this would be a lot more annoying without the pause/resume of the Steam Deck. It also means you can cheese out of a tough situation, so I'd agree it's badly implemented. What Graven does get right is the atmosphere, sound and intimidation of tough opponents. I haven't played a game as difficult as this in a while, so at times it's frustrating but others it's rewarding when you finally do clear an area. I haven't yet finished the first act and have ~20 hours of actual (not sleep/resume) playtime. Also haven't tried co-op but imagine would be fun if it worked.

This is Quake C at its freaking best... awesome work from these devs!!!

gameplay is solid characters are solid everything else is just fine as well. If you want a simple experience give without alot of messing around give it a try.

It's alright as long as you dun expect it to be Hexen or Heretic. On it's own it's alright... there are some bugs, but if you encounter anything gamebraking, try going through it in multiplayer, than go back to singleplayer... worked for me. It's not great but.... it's fine...

A bit more carefully (not cautiously) played action game. Quick reflexes needed at times.
