It scratches that Vallhalla itch. It's pretty short, though, even if you're going for achievements. I beat it over a weekend, so get it at a discount.
The better part of Sexy Brutale is the story and mystery surrounding it - the urge to unravel what's going on. The puzzles themselves are weak - you need only one item to solve each section, at most. It felt like the tutorial never ended. The challenge is to find the item somewhere in the dozens of empty rooms that serve no purpose. The performance is a problem, too, as the game stutters frequently when quicly switching rooms - which happens a lot.
A very "Limbo" type of game from the same producers. Personally, this is not my type of game, although the macabre atmosphere is masterfully crafted.
This is a very "Limbo" type of game, so this should be the first thing to consider when buying it or not. Personally, this is not my type of game, although the macabre atmosphere is masterfully crafted. But in any case I think the price is quite high for something you can beat in less than five hours.
It has an excellent and engaging story, but it gets repetitive and tiresome. There are not that many ways of tackling a mission, and there are literally hundreds of side objectives to complete which basically involve blowing something up. And you need to complete a fair bit of them to unlock better weapons and equipment.
My PC can run Witcher 3, MGSV, Arkhan Assylum and other similar and later games on steady 60 FPS, but this game constantly dipped beneath 25 with my fans sounding as if they were about to explode. That kind of ruined the experience for me. Which is a shame, because the music, environments and story seemed worthy - if only I could play it.
