Oct 17, 2022Is hard to recommend Scorn because it has an incredible art design and a great setting, but it also is a very obtuse adventure puzzle game. Maybe you can feel frustrated when you don't know how to resolve a puzzle, and its combat are very simple and boring. But if you connect with Scorn, it will be an incredible experience. [Recommended]

Oct 14, 2022In Scorn, a game of wonderfully horrible atmosphere and smart, hands-off puzzling is undermined by some dodgy checkpoints and wonky combat.

Oct 14, 2022By the time the parasite does finally obstruct your ability to use machines or change weapons, the damage is already done. There are few enemies left and the game is almost over, so whatever additional tension might have resulted from these restrictions never materializes. Scorn is a transportive experience to be sure, at times a genuine masterwork of visual craft. But the unfulfilled possibilities linger a little too prominently, a reminder that it falls short of being a mechanical masterpiece, too.

Oct 14, 2022The world of Scorn is singular, and carefully constructed, and intelligent. The way you're left to explore - and the way you can get through it without any help whatsoever - is a 10/10 bit of game design. But the most upsetting parts are upsetting by accident rather than intention. I think as many people should play it as possible, but I can't say you'll enjoy it. I'm really glad it's coming to Game Pass.

Oct 15, 2022Gameplay is weak, but the atmosphere is probably the best I've played in recent years!

Oct 15, 2022The graphics are great, other than that, the game is empty and totally less than expected. The title was hyped and failed to deliver.
