This is one of the most unique and engaging games I've ever played. It is simply one of a kind and there is absolutely nothing else like it, nor would I expect there ever will be. Many video games these days stick to player expectations within a certain format, maybe trying to innovate, but within a genre. If you're looking to entirely break out of that world and play something that fully pushes the boundaries of interactive media at large, Inscryption is it. It's more than just a game, it's a piece of art. And that's not to say it's sterile or pretentious in any way. The gameplay is challenging, diverse, and all conceptually grounded in a story that will stick with you. It's an inspiring and impressive effort, that you should not miss.
The game is basically an interactive movie. And by interactive I mean you press a button every so often. If you like that sort of thing, it could be what you're looking for. The graphics and art direction are very good, as well as the music and sound design. But that wasn't enough to keep me invested when the only thing to do is walk around. move the camera, and press the same button over and over again. If you're hoping for something that requires any level of skill, you should skip it. Most of the "puzzles" are just finding the right thing to look at, which is usually circled for you. There are a lot of cutscenes that you cannot skip, and a lot of reading that doesn't advance the plot. I got it for free so I can't complain too much. But after the fifth unskippable cutscene of someone riding a train in silence, I sort of lost interest.
