    I honestly think that Golden Light is going to appeal specifically to people with a specific type of brain rot. My specific type of brain rot, where we like our wretched absurdity mixed in with the type of emotions that eat at you from the inside. It’s the torment that Golden Light nails in every aspect. It’s the perfect interactive demonstration of what it’s like to have a mind that never lets the light shine. The fact that it simultaneously manages to be a unique and enjoyable experience is probably a very important fact that I’m too busy staring at my shoes to appreciate.

    I doubt that it will be most people's cup of tea but for those out there that crave some disturbing, surreal horror, Golden Light is well worth its modest price.

    With all its delicious insanity, Golden Light works better as a viewing, rather than playing experience. It does have a style and a smattering of bold ideas, but the core of its gameplay is searching for keys in similar-looking hallways, with bad gunplay, weak stealth mechanics and poor resource management.

I personally enjoy coming back to it and playing it just for fun. It has a lot of potential and is 100% worth to give a shot.

Game play is challenging and the art styleI got this game as a birthday gift and I have to say, its probably one of my favorite games ever. Game play is challenging and the art style feels so bizarre and has such a creepy aesthetic. I don't have much play time but its so hopeless and dire I feel like a lot of inspiration came from silent hill 3 with the abundance of gore and lack of vision. definitely a must have with the replayability and is especially one of the most unique dungeon crawlers I've had the pleasure of owning I genuinely cant wait for future content and other projects Mr.pink has to offer!
    *i'm just very enthusiastic about this game i really think its cool*    … Full Review »
