A rudimentary walking sim with bugs
Currently the game is discounted by 80 % - for that price it's an okay deal but full price is another story. Paradise Lost (PL) is yet another walking sim inspired by the Bioshock-idea of visiting the remnants of what was once a very interesting place to figure out what happened to it. In PL's case that place is an abandoned gigantic nazi bunker which you visit while escaping from the surrounding wasteland - in short, WW2 ended differently and you are one of few survivors after a nuclear holocaust. The nazi bunker has been the home of not only nazis but another group of survivors before you arrive and the game deals with the usual theme of religious nutjobs versus rational semi-fascist survivalists as well as usual tropes surrounding nazi ideology, experiments etc. PL is void of any gameplay besides walking forward down a linear path: besides collecting the occasional item, playing voice records and reading letters there is no interaction at all with the world you are in. In order for such a limited experience to be any good, the story, visuals and sound needs to compensate and in PL, they don't. The story is extremely predictable, the voice acting is bad and visually the game is unimpressive (although the graphic design is kinda good in certain places). The music is nice but can't compensate for everything else that PL is lacking. on top of all this, the game is buggy and required a handful of reboots during the few hours a playthrough demands. The game is made by a small indie studio and I can absolutely lower my expectations in many ways but leaving the game unpatched in the current state is where I draw the line.
