what price? Laughing


Anyways, what is up with these unity games recently with the lack of real fullscreen...

I'm getting tired of having to change my desktop res everytime I wanna downsample in a new unity game.

older ones didn't have this issue..

good news though, a 970 has no issues running it maxed at 4k, which is rare for unity crap.

story mode is around 2 hours long from what i'm reading.

Played for a bit. it's not bad. But it's definitely much cooler when you watch it than when you play it.

edit: it does get a bit more interesting later on, but still feels a bit like a design concept or a student class project than an actual product.

I just finished it in one sitting, a lot of fun was had, but it took me definitely less than two hours to complete the story. Razz Sad

The gameplay always works really well in my opinion in its simplistic (yet satisfying) way and the Pony Island-esque narrative is pretty neat. The big problem though, is that the current full price definitely is way too unbalanced if you take into account the contents. My advice as usual in such cases is to play the isohot, and buy the game at later date when is on Gabesale.

the replays are fun to watch. makes everyone look like either a pro gamer or a hacker Laughing

also the little denuvo references were funny, and the whole main menu aesthetic.

And I loved the part

Just finished it myself as well. so short Crying or Very sad

butso much potential here. hope they make enough money and make a proper game for a sequel. imagine a minf blowing 20 hour story line with this type of gameplay and wacky lore.

also, it needs a level editor. that would pretty much be the best move the devs could do.

There's a story.


i took your challenge

i pirated it

i call bullshit. its just a random mishmash of nonsense

conceptually the game is great, and is fun to play (taking a shot, throwing your weapon to stun, grab their gun, shoot the next guy, re-stun the other guy again and then beat him to death!) and it had some great visual flair, and some pretty clever little bits and pieces in the gameplay but no, no story here. just vague dialogue and sequences pretending to be something profound.

the piss-weak story wouldnt bother me if it was priced reasonably, but the game squanders its cool concept on a go-nowhere silly story.


usually ill be happy to support games that actually do something new and interesting, and i was SO excited for this game, but i just cant get past how empty it is, especially for the price theyre charging... if anyones considering buying it, pleasseee wait for a discount.

also the performance was kinda spotty at times.. anyone else notice that? it was never game-breaking, but for looking how it does (its unashamably simplistic, NOT KNOCKING ITS VISUAL DESIGN!!) it never should have felt juttery or sluggish or laggy at any point, but i certainly noticed it from time to time.

saw a ton of posts about it on steam forums, but no issues here. my 970 ran it at constant 60 fps at 3360x2100 with around 20% gpu power left to spare.

and I agree, the hype for this game, and the sales it's getting are too much. it's a great concept, with solid and stylish game mechanics, but there's just not enough meat on the bone.

the fanbois keep mentioning challenges and the endless mode, but I always find such content in games useless filler and never bother with it.

would be nice seeing a bigger game built around this concept.

Cool down mate. The thing is it's not that I dont have money for Sunless Sea it's just that I dont think I'm gonna play it anytime soon so there is no point of paying $8 for a game I won't be playing for very long time. The game is definitely interesting and I will grab it at some point. Having a job and 3 hobbies is really limiting my time for playing tons of games at the same time. Smile

Well, this was definitely too short. Would be fine if the main game was the endless mode with real enemies and gore obviously.

Game is nice and all but 20 bucks a bit too high. However, if they make or planing to make free content such as new levels, mechanics etc then it's worth a buy.

by the way story telling is way better than expected in this game. I was assuming it's going to be just a slowmo red guy killing sim but what i saw was some high quality matrix shit. Although they're trying to be edgy and cool, i'm giving a solid 5/7
