Was this game any good except for heating the house in winter?
It's a great game. Like top 10 lifetime material, for me at least. At this price, it's just too good of a deal IMO.
I've seen it advertised no less than 50 times in the last several years but I've never met anyone who actually played it
The gameplay itself is nothing crazy, but playing the game with headphones was quite an experience
I played it recently and loved it. Very good presentation, the narrative is interesting and gripping and the atmosphere is great. Wear headphones (important!). Played it in HDR with Ray Tracing and it looked beautiful, too.
I really liked the combat, but the game is fairly easy and doesn't really force you to really master the nuances that are there. There are some combo strings you can sequence together and some things to explore within that system, but none of it is really necessary. The animations are great though and overall fighting felt satisfying enough.
Overall the game was a very unique experience that left me definitely looking forward to the sequel. It's a short game, too, so not a big commitment. For this price I would label it a no-brainer.
I’ve played it! So player count >= 1.
Overall, a nice game. I tend to enjoy shorter, linear games over giant, open worlds so this was right up my alley. It is a decent puzzler with some meh combat to boot. Visuals are great, audio superb (use headphones!), and mildly challenging gameplay. I say meh combat because you really don’t do all that damage unless you have a "super" active, so it feels very much like your main weapons are paper until said super is ready.
It isn’t really an achievement hunting game, you’re mostly there for the psychosis-focused narrative and occasional boss battle. I definitely enjoyed this far more than Assassin’s Creed , but not quite as much Alien: Isolation.
For this price, I’d say worth a play. My play through was on Gamepass, so based on the number of games I play a month (2-3 all the way through), this is about the price I "paid".
Edit: I did start an original play through on PC at launch, but never finished due to university finals. I recently (6-ish months ago) saw it was on Gamepass so gave it another go.
It's worth a play. I grabbed it on sale a while back. For sure worth this price
Good to know I'm not alone
I've heard fantastic things about it, and picked it up a month or so again, but haven't played it yet.
I'm told it has fantastic atmosphere (wear headphones apparently), though the combat is a bit generic, though satisfying.
+1 on wearing headphones.
