It’s 1897. Deep in international waters, the Helios stands still. Dark clouds loom overhead as unforgiving waves crash against the hull. Colossal effigies of gold, decorated with magnificent finery, stretch as far as the eye can see.

It started off Ok in the game and the graphics are great- But the game play does suck and you find creaters killing you and you have no defence - Takes bloody ages to die and restart from saved position. I hate running away and blindy finding your way over and over again - you have to use someone else walkthrough to get anywhere. Such a disapointment and like most games you give up and just delete from your system. Its about time developers remember some people play for the enjoyment of playing puzzels and few action stunts but whn it gets to hard and no clues people turn off delete and never go back buying games form the same developer again - AL LEAST BIOSHOCK GO IT RIGHT -
It's not even close. It's not intended to be. It's intended to be a story.
PROS:
- This game is beautiful. The art direction is amazing. The water is better than in Starfield!! The whole look of it brings you in. It reminds me a lot of the original Myst.
CONS:
- The installer takes up 20G of your C drive whether you install it on your C drive or on an external drive. VERY annoying!!
- More annoying than that: Checkpoint saves! Since the game is story-driven, it's broken into chapters. It's also very slow. Unless you have gobs of time to spend on this game, you'll have to start at the last checkpoint.
- The game is a little too dark. I needed to adjust the brightness using Intel Graphics Command Center. Not a deal-breaker, though.
Looking forward to playing it when I have more time.
I got the game on my epic account, one of the worst games i ever played in my life. I appreciated the story and its development up to a point but overall, the game is very bad. Cant believe GoG has put the price of 19.99 on this. Total Garbage....
