Streamer Verdicts
4 displayedOur analysis
Sci-fi thriller with excellent cinematic presentation and photorealistic graphics. Compelling narrative.
Our analysis
Atmospheric sci-fi story game with excellent voice acting and immersive setting, but utterly undermined by tedious puzzle gameplay. 5 hours of repetitive Simon Says and pattern-matching mini-games with a great story in the background. Better watched than played.
Our analysis
A neat, uniquely told sci-fi horror yarn where you play the onboard AI of a troubled orbital space station, recommended for its top-tier atmosphere, excellent severe industrial audio, and well-judged exposition that keeps the science authentic while preserving mystery. It is held back by overly linear, instruction-following gameplay where most abilities are locked until needed, confusing navigation, and tedious document-scanning, with the 'malfunctioning computer' framing only partly excusing the friction.
