Scorn

Kind of just left... whelmed.

I already knew that Scorn wasn't rated as an amazing game, but the game really just leaves you with the feeling of wanting more. It tells you nothing, shows a lot but doesn't communicate at that much with its visual storytelling, and you're kinda just left with... something pretty, but little substance. If there was considerably more story and explaination for what has happened in this world, it would be vastly more interesting. Instead, we're told borderline nothing, in any way you can communicate something. If you're the type that loves to speculate, you might enjoy this, but this is ultimately a game with next to nothing to tell, but the environment and art in this game is exceptional. Beyond that... there's nothing. There's a considerable difference between being a bit vague, not overexplaining, not "revealing" too much and boxing yourself in as a writer, etc... and then just communicating nothing at all. Which begs the question if that's the intention. Like a painting where the artist isn't interesting in comminicating their thoughts and such to the viewer, but opposite, for the artist see what the viewer thinks and feels about it. The problem with that mentality though, is that people are ALWAYS going to have thoughts on a given work, so when the artist barely communicates their thoughts at all... it's like a relationship where one side just never reciprocates, and no one is surprised that the relationship failed.
