    It’s unfortunate that Corpse of Discovery can’t capitalize on it’s strong premise. Instead, it flounders, attempting to be profound and metaphysical but never managing to be anything more than “meh.”

    There were some good ideas in the concept, but the experience is terribly tedious. Add some lame platforming, and what you get is a forgettable game.

    At around three hours, it's hard to recommend Corpse of Discovery to starved sci-fi fans, let alone the general public, and especially at full price. With some optimization patches it would be at least worth a play through for sci-fi fans, but as it stands I'd let this one get lost in space.

    Corpse of Discovery had promise, but a not-so-great execution.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. A good idea, just not the best execution. The gameplay is interesting at points, but becomes stale. The story is okay. But for a game that becomes pretty abstract and weird, some of the main themes of the story feel like they get shoved in your face just a little bit. My main gripe with this game is that I feel like it's way too short considering its price. In total, it only offers about an hour and a half of gameplay. Even with the new lowered price of $8 (it used to be $10), I don't think that it's worth buying unless you get it for much cheaper. Full Review »
