    While I can say this is pretty cool for just one guy developing it, that doesn't change the fact that this is probably the most generic FPS I've played, to the point that it's pretty much just COD:AW but your playing as an Asian woman.

    Bugs oh the bugs.

    The first time I played this I was in this puzzle room (There is only one) for the first time & the gate closed but because no enemies spawned, I thought it was just a puzzle room but I couldn't interact or process so I got pissed & quit the game, only founding out 8 months later when I played the game again did I found out it was glitch, enemies were suppose to spawn they didn't & I got stuck.
    Granted this was when the game was still in Early Access, but I'm getting to it.

    Eight Months was also the time I came back to play the game again on my new computer & it runs really well but again a bug appeared at the start of the game, when you transition to the other world & fight the Bears & Skeleton but at the end of the combat sequence your suppose to move to the next area but with the combat music blaring & no where to go I was massively confused because I had gotten pass this bit before & I just couldn't remember how to move on so I restarted the combat sequence again just in case something was wrong & this time it worked which made me go "Oh **** the puzzle room was bugged".

    "The early access version of the first episode features about an hour of gameplay with the developer announcing another two hours of gameplay by the end of 2019" This is from the Wiki & it's complete bull**** as the game gives you a stats screen at the end. My time was 32 mins & I was not rushing.

    "The game will award letter grades to creative combinations similar to Devil May Cry" This is also bull**** & from the wiki because I don't think standing still shooting the final boss with a machine gun and my style rank increase from S to SS being even close to DMC even DMC 2 did the style rank better.

    So no I don't recommend this **** One of the worst games of the year & no I don't care if it is a demo & it's Seven pounds.
    It's still ****    … Expand

    Pros:
    + weapons feels right
    + variety in combat options

    Cons:
    - boring level design
    - bad lip syncing
    - bullet sponge enemies
    - confusing plot
    - bland music

I cant wait for the full game to be released..
    The only thing Im not a fan of however is that while you do gin xp that can be spent on new attacks and upgrades, pulling up this menu to upgrade your charcter does not stop the battles, so you can find yourself in a tough situation realzing wait I can upgrade this, but you cant because youll die trying to do so…
    This is an annoyance I thought only existed in online only games, and for some reason that annoyance is here..
    Otherwise I loved my hour with bright memory and its awesome that by buying this you get infinite for free, I cait wait to see whats next
    I give Bright Memory

    Considering this is created by ONE person, it's pretty damn impressive.

    I am not sure it should be a paid experience because it's essentially a tech demo, and incredibly short.

    I wonder why people hate this game? I know that this is just a demo... a very good demo. It's cool to see how one guy maded a game of AAA level. I love the main gameplay idea. And at least it's not another generic pixel-art roguelike like we see every day on Steam.

    Decent graphics and an interesting idea but really these days that's not saying a lot. Bright Memory is let down by stilted game play, an excessively complex system of keyboard combat combinations, only a concert pianist would appreciate and an overly linear "push button" approach that robs the player of the ability to play game "their way".

    All of this is made worse by poorly balanced game play, with extremely difficult bosses and under powered weapons and defensive moves.

    For me, the result is a game that's far more frustrating than it could ever be said to be enjoyable.

    3/10 mostly for the solid core idea and quality graphics.    … Expand

    Bright Memory is a small paid demo of the full version, Bright Memory: Infinite (demo developed by a single person as well, as curiosity).

    I will not evaluate this point because it is a demo and we have no information about it other than the synopsis.

    *GAMEPLAY*: Bright Memory presents a very notable gameplay, but there are elements that squeak me a lot (the sword, the jumps and the dodge especially).

    *GRAPHICS*: Bright Memory graphically, in mapping, is excellent, but in characters and interactive elements it lowers the level a lot.

    *SOUND*: Without a doubt the worst section. Bland and does not stand out at all.

    *INNOVATION*: Bright Memory, with only one developer, is impressive, and its idea of merging hack and slash with FPS seems to me very interesting. If they solve the problems something very interesting can come out of here.    … Expand

Além disso, o jogo faz [b]MUITO BEM na gameplay e em todo seu visual e trilha sonora visto como foi seu desenvolvimento.
    Não é necessário 200 horas para valer a pena, muitas vezes isso só torna o jogo enjoativo ao contrário de ser divertido.

    Recomendo bastante o jogo, principalmente em promoção. tem um potencial bem grande para virar algo maior em Bright Memory Infinite!.

    oyunu bitirdikten sonra niye böyle bir şey yaptıklarını çok iyi anlıyorum çünkü oyun bok gibi gelin inceleyelim

    Artıları
    +Fena olmayan oynanış mekanikleri
    +Güzel grafikler
    +Tempo'yu değiştiren 1-2 görev

    Eksileri
    -Oyun çok hızlı şekilde tekrara düşüyor
    -Oyun 2 saatte bitse de mekanikler ve oyun yapısı oyunu canlı tutamıyor
    -Rezil bir senaryo'ya sahip (demoyu incelediğimde geliştirici ekip bu hikayenin üstünden gelemez demiştim ve haklıymışım)
    -Rezil Karakterler
    -Rezalet ötesi diyaloglar (hani bu diyalogları 3 yaşında çocuk daha iyi yazardı)
    -Kötü optimizasyon
    -Ek içerik diye sattıkları şeyler karakter için mayo..... :/
    -Vuruş hissi zayıf
    -Çok fazla bug'a ve glitch'e sahip tabiri caizse gö*ü başı dağılan bir oyun

    bu oyunu niye yaptılar anlamadım hem kısa hem kötü sanırım tek amaç mayo satmak :/

    6/10 - Niezła
    (po graniu ~1h i ukończeniu gry)
    Przyjemna, dynamiczna walka z umiejętnościami, które można łączyć w kombinacje ataków

    Bardzo imponujące, jak na dzieło 1 osoby.
    Naprawdę solidna, growa ciekawostka, ale sprawia wrażenie dema, a nie całej gry.

Yes, when you watch the videos of the game, you really think how a single person developed this game. That's right. The price was also very affordable, the double package was only 5.99 dollar during the discount period. I was going to buy a game and play for who knows how many hours it's not a pipe or two games :) Anyway, of course it didn't work out, friends, this game is something like a technology demo that lasts for about 40 minutes, but don't let this scare you, you are definitely not playing something mediocre, let me explain the reasons below.

    First of all, our game is made with an unreal game engine and has really nice graphics. So it even has rtx support, so when you open it, the shadows are really much better quality. And of course, the lightings also make you feel the effect of rtx support.

    Our game takes place in a mountainous area. It doesn't have a specific story. As I said, it only takes 40 minutes. We play a special soldier who tries to stop a secret power that will resurrect the dead. We finish it easily. I like the use of weapons and swords in the game. I mean, it is very enjoyable to make a sword combo with one hand and use a weapon with the other. We also have a special power, that is, we have a special power that we can neutralize the enemies and pull them towards us and explode them. It was really nice. According to the duration of the game It has very nice enemy designs, so it will make you happy. The voices of the game are pips, but you don't expect much in 40 minutes anyway. Finally, it was a very satisfying production with its atmosphere and especially graphics that tried to tell us the Chinese mythology. It was quite satisfying. If you want to play a 40-minute demo with its beautiful atmosphere, impressive graphics, beautiful enemy designs, I would definitely recommend you to try it. You can find the continuation review of the game on my page.    … Expand

    There’s less content here than in many games in early access but everything is polished almost to perfection. Also, next to a spectacular shooter/slasher gameplay, there is an interesting story and universe here. [06/2020, p.50]

    Amount of work put in this game is incredible. It was hard to imagine that one game with combine classic FPS mechanics with supernatural abilities, but here we are. Bright Memory is a short but sweet experience, more of a demo than a game, but it will probably be compensated with the next planed game.
