I didn't even really get to try the game out, because the resolution options I was given were: 1066x600 1066x666 1280x720 1280x800 Other And Other seemingly did nothing. in order to set a proper resolution, I would have had to go into the registry and edited keys there to my desktop resolution. That is not something I'm down to deal with on a game released in the past few decades. I've requested a refund for now. Please fix your issues with that and I'd be down to purchase again
I think this is a good game overall. The atmosphere is right, the story is pretty decent, it feels good to control. There are some issues though. - the performance issues. the game hitches and stutters regardless of settings, usually on area loads. This really brings you out of the moment, especially in cutscenes. - the lack of even a weak punch when you don't have a (consumable) melee weapon on-hand. - health/ammo pickups can be finnicky. if you get too close to them, you're likely to be unable to pick it up because the prompt will disappear. so you'll end up wiggling back and forth trying to get it to show up again. - the two boss fights in the game just kind of suck. they're high damage and since your dodge doesn't hae any iframes on it, you're far too likely to get bopped. especially in the second one, where the boss eventually spawns a ton of adds, then also resumes attacking you while taking up most of the arena. Really, overall it feels like the combat in this game was poorly thought out, or even just an afterthought
This game is hot garbage. Story-wise it feels like it's done by a 14yr old trying to be philosophical. Gameplay-wise it's jank af, like *really* jank af. None of the movement feels good, the combat is boring, repetitive, melee attacks of all things require "ammunition" and none of it deals very much damange at all. Visually it's bloomed-out to hell and looks like an early, bad 360 game, which would be more forgivable due to being indie if the story and/or gameplay were anywhere close to good. Even then, all of that might be okay to put up with were it a tight experience, but it has the gall to be over 20hrs long. Imagine putting up with all of that for 20+ hrs.
