Quite interesting story, great levels design, good graphics. Very playable, there are lots of ways how to get through. If You choose to kill your enemies, You must still watch Your step. You are not some supernatural hero/machine, You still have to use stealth and moment of surprise to knock down enemies. Even though the main character is ugly and rotten, You definitely will like him and identify with him. The levels are not that easy to beat. It is not simply - kill everyone - You'll have to use full arsenal of Your abilities to get hings done. Comparing this game to early Thief game is very appropriate. It's like Garett had a facelift.
I really like this game. The graphics are very good, the story is interesting, music is very good, voice acting really great. The world You are about to explore is nice and charming. The story is very interesting and You want to go on and on, to see what's next. The story swallows You, like You really want to be in there. However, as someone else wrote in the review, this would be rather a film, than a game. You choices do not affect the story, there are no difficulties, no puzzles. You just walk and obey orders. there is no space for Your own creativity The end of the story may seem a bit dissapointing, but You have to accept this game is just about things that can really happen in life. There is nothing unnatural. I'v spend few hours playing that and enjoyed the story and environment. However but i do not think i will ever play it again. I would suggest You wait for some significant discount on the game price.
Hand painted world in nice, interesting and surprising. This game really is a "never seen before". Game mechanics are completely new thing. In fact i did not understand the story to the depths, but that did not prevent from finishing the game. By about the half of the game, when you get to know the game system, it tends to be more or less the same all the time. Basic is still the same, you only need to apply still the same principles and this might get a bit dull.
Great one. I like it even more than author's previous title Limbo. Controls are very easy to comprehend. Puzzles are very interesting, difficult but not impossible. Compared to limbo, puzzles are more about thinking than about precise timing and skillfullnes in keyboard controls. You will probably not get stuck and frustrated like in Limbo, in situating where you know exactly what to do, but it was very difficult, near impossible to manage it. Quests are diverse, surprising, interesting. But the best of game is total horror that surround you. I is not about blood being spilled around, about hordes of zombies, about unknown dark. The horror is about being alone in simple, but unknown environment. Being frightened and vulnerable. About the scenery around. Not some fantastic future, but normal world everyone knows, turned into horrible dystopia. The horrors are slowly rising thoughout the game, towards the end it turns into complete madness. Slowly crawling hopelessness, when you realize you keep running from one horror into some other, even more terrifying. The atmosphere is unique, accented with great soundtrack. All combined makes great, pleasant gameplay, which will absorb you untill the bitter/sweet end. The game is not wery long, but i would not call it short. Unlike Limbo, this game you probably can play few times again, to experience the atosphere. I can only recomend
Great game, Both graphics and music are very nice. I liked the previews so i decided to buy it for my daughter. However it turn out to be rather for me, than for 7-year child, as the game is very difficult. Controls are quite simple and easy to use, but the gameplay is really tough and challenging. As we process with our little hero, we gain more abillities and special moves which allow to overcome obstacles and various environment therats. Must say how amazed i am with all the moves/combos we can do, designers really made a good job here. Level design is interesting, environments are changing. Every part has it's own characteristics. New and different challenges appear at every step. Although we fight enemies, game is not violent. Definitely i would recomend it for children. Game control, interaction, saving and skill tree, everything is simply to understand and easy to use. Simply put, this great game, fully deserve 5 stars.
Great game. Atmosphere is very dark, thaks to both visual and music design. Pace is very fast, from one problem to another. In some places there's not time to catch breath. There are only basic moves and simple actions, but even with this few, puzzles are very interesting and challenging. Some are about logic, other require precise timing and movement. I've completed it in few hours, but towards the end, puzzles become quite extreme. Need not only logic, but also exact timing. And all that in pressure of lurking death. Real prelude to hell. I'm not very used for platformer games, but images got me interested. Bought the game on sale just to try it out. Could not stop playing, until completed. Graphics are really piece of art. Music as well. Put together, you can feel the cold hand of Death touching you every now and then. Puzzles are challenging, but still very exact. No place for improvisation, you will not survive by counting on good luck only. I can only recommed it.
