Detailed review by IGN, new guy knows how to review

People: IGN hates every fricking game


IGN: *OBSERVE*

I don't understand why nobody is talking about the complete absence of objective clarity with some missions.
One mission (no spoilers) tasked me with finding damage on the outside of the ship. Not only would it not accept multiple parts of the ship that were very clearly damaged, but the only acceptable goal was ONE specific little black 'scorch' mark on the side of a module that was almost hidden in darkness. Like wtf... I have to search the exterior of an entire space station for a little burn? Seriously? There isn't even a reminder of what module the damage COULD be found near.

Who else thought it was a movie at first?

3:29 key phrase, this guy DID play the game so he can give a review...

I’m so glad this is getting great reviews, I love stories untold and hope this game becomes a sleeper hit

I finished this game yesterday, took me around 8 hours, i got amazed by it, i got ZERO bugs, it's absolutely well done and implemented, a just love it, i can easily put this game at the same level as Subnautica with a 9.0 and i have the same feeling as subnautica that i would definitely play a continuation if they ever make it. There is Sub Zero in the Subnautica franchise but it's not a continuation it's a parallel story, kind of.

I just played the game. I hate how there is no clear objective in many parts of the game. I had to stop playing half way through because I was tired of aimlessly floating around the space station. I watched the rest of the game on youtube. I really loved the story and eerie feeling to the game. The visuals are awesome aswell but I just wish some things were more obvious to make it more enjoyable to play.

Nowadays there are so may AAA games that no one would care for this games. i miss old days that every game had a value :(

The game itself was interesting, but the plot disappointed me. There were too many plot holes and unexplained loose ends for my liking. A couple here and there is one thing, but when almost every major plot device/progression device is left unexplained and is just accepted as it is, that kind of bugs me. It's like asking how someone did something and responding "because magic." I am fine with a mystery/suspense oriented plot, but this felt like a mix between trying to hard to achieve something and not providing enough... not sure how else to explain that... Besides the plot-hole elements, I really enjoyed the rest of the game. It was a nice HAL-like mechanic.

The devs are now making a Silent Hill game 🙀

Listen to Cardy doing his serious voice! All grown up now bless him

[ambientvenom]

Great review and agreed. I really enjoyed my time with this one. While there was some minor issues its hard to believe an 11 person studio delivered this. Must play for sure.

Downloadong right now.
Y'all get alot of Hate but I refer to your vids for reviews IGN. Been a fan since Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb. Stop The Hate Train, they do us major justice with their information.

Who's here after it was put on playstation now?

[lucazlt]

I've looked for this game's name for WEEKS. Excellent review on the gameplay details.

[xenojax]

Fantastic review!, most people will say this game is boring at surface level and give a low score but you really learned the game and gave a proper review. Good work Simon.
