    For those looking for a very good storyline set in the gorgeous underbelly of a retro-futuristic bunker, it'll be hard to find a modern title that beats Paradise Lost. The closest comparison for both story and setting would be the Bioshock series. Despite not having weapons or intense moments of action, Paradise Lost manages to deliver a mind-bending story that won't soon be forgotten.

    Paradise Lost is an interesting narrative adventure that captures the player's attention through familiar elements such as text and audio notes. However, his story is too reminiscent of others already seen if he has some baggage in the genre. The design of its scenarios and its artistic section stand out, its weakest point being the modeling and animations of human beings, although we rarely see them during the game. I would have appreciated some playable mechanics beyond exploration, but I can't blame Paradise Lost for this as, while it's not an outstanding game, it is engaging enough to keep you glued to the screen for 3 or 4 hours that lasts.

    The game is short but it's enough to appreciate a great story and mood. It looks amazing not only for an indie studio. Plus it's 10$ -The game is short but it's enough to appreciate a great story and mood. It looks amazing not only for an indie studio. Plus it's 10$ - definitely worth the money. Must play for ppl who appreciate intriguing story over cheap effects, explosions, and shooting waves of enemies.… Full Review »

    This game is the worst Bioshock title yet.

    It's environmental storytelling and gameplay are utterly derivative of titles you'd wish you'd be playing instead as you are approaching the final chapter of the game. The game itself is nothing but a glorified linear walking simulator.

    The story however is something to behold.
    It feels as if the entire game was written by an elementary school student as a weekend assignment, a weekend assignment that the student got an A+ for and was really proud of his work. However the story itself is unimaginative, obvious and entirely linear, it does not take any advantage of the story's settings whatsoever and instead the writer opts out to create nonsensical plot twists that don't lead anywhere. The storytelling quite literally murdered any curiosity i had for the game's setting.

    It feels as if this game was made by exactly three people in total: a writer, a designer and a programmer. I can't shake the feeling that this was their very first venture into the video game industry. I do wish them well and i certainly do hope that there are more projects being worked on by the studio, however i also hope that this title will bring some much needed self-reflection to these developers.    … Full Review »
