It's worse.
Clunky controls, gloomy assets (yeah, yeah, I know it's steampunk, but it's so depressing like in horror titles like Soma), lack of mechanics depth (again in comparison with Grimrock).
Oh, and enemies are just fast as lightning - and you can't do anything about it.
I was really disappointed after playing this title. Grimrock 1&2 are far better than this.
GOG, add a ZERO-star rating. Please.
While watching the intro sequence I became suspicious: For an experienced (read “old”) gamer like me (with close to 1000 games owned and played, overall) it felt unimaginative, standard. Nothing caught my attention AT ALL. Standard language, standard sound, standard voice acting… EVERYTHING pointed to a few STANDARD-thinking IT guys making a STANDARD game hoping to make the STANDARD amount of money from STANDARD-thinking… consumers OF STANDARD junk. A few seconds later I became even more suspicious, but I hit the Esc key and went to Options. My suspicions turned out to be justified: There is NO mouse-look… in a 3D game. You hit E and Q to snap 90 degrees left or right, and you scroll sideways or forward/backwards with WSAD. Hmmm. BUT I DIGRESS: Perhaps there is a story somewhere there (which I doubt based on the quality of the Intro). And, while I am old school, I’ve seen a good number of modern games (say, 30-50) and the movement mechanics of Vaporum make me want to say to the developers – NEXT TIME MAKE A POINT-AND-CLICK adventure game if you want to “tell a story”. Make a graphic novel or something.
