Then the rest of the novelty wears off once you realize you move super slow, absolutely everything is bizarre about the environment so it’s hard to understand how one puzzle connects to the next, the animations that play are also suuuuper slow and you have to just sit through them even if you fail to do the right thing. Doors don’t stay open in some areas… you have to go through a two step process to unlock them and draw them open. Then they’re timed, so if you don’t make it through the door you have to go through the slow unlock and open animations again…. They spent 90% of the budget on the graphics and forgot they needed a game

Everything from graphics design through sound design is stunning. Story and lore are deep and really interesting. I could only wish that this game would be an interactive simple and linear experience, without stupid unnecessary puzzles, shooting mechanics or easy to get lost labyrinths. It's a shame that so little gamers will actually see that masterpiece of art in it's whole glory. But unfortunately it is what it is. It's just a bad game. I highly recommend to read Scorn official art book if you like the concept of this game. Art book contains beautiful illustrations and it's explaining whole story. For me the actual art book was much much better then a game itself.… Expand

    Logical horror game full of riddles with addition of combat. Graphics was unconventional and bloody. Atmosphere was dark and easy to get into. Gameplay even thought it wasn't focused on combat it looked brutal, harsh, yet very resourceful. Overall game was great unusual experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hard for me to admit, but I am a bit disappointed. First of all, it is unforgivable for a Serbian developer not to include the Serbian language option, considering how, besides the menu, there's absolutely no text, so it's not that difficult (they also have Bulgarian and Romanian, but for some reason they didn't include Serbian?).
    Secondly, I get that this game is actually more of an experience than a game, and I don't have a problem with it being a walking simulator, because the environments are gorgeous and stunning, and definitely worth trying the game out, but as soon as you get to the combat, the curiosity and the enjoyment end...
    Either the weapons you are given are too weak, or the enemies are bullet sponges who spawn a lot more than they need to, health and ammo are very rare, and on top of that, you have no way to dodge attacks except run behind a corner (and good luck avoiding that sniper-like spit of the little birdie thing or charging of that bull creature, once he downs you, that's basically it, you have nothing left to do but die and start over). Enemies would have been perfectly fine for a game like this if they appeared every now and then, but once you realize there's at least two of them on the every third corner you turn, it takes the tension and the edge away, and turns the gameplay into a tedious task: only 20 minutes after the introduction of the first enemy, I was losing my patience and telling myself "Again? I have to fight these things again? And there's three of them?!"
    I don't know if the developers wanted to make a Dark-Souls-hard game, but this is not a way to do it. In an enjoying difficult game, your skill is what matters; in Scorn, you don't really have a way to use any of your skills, it's just frustratingly hard and unnecessarily difficult, for a puzzle-exploration game.

    If you want to buy this, it really is a one of a kind experience, but arm yourself with patience and nerves of steel once you get to the combat. My honest advice would be to get it on GamePass only. I hope they tone down the enemies in a future update, and make the game a bit more enjoyable.
    Anyhow, this is Ebb Software's first big game, and they're also not a huge team with a lot of resources, so I have to give them some slack.    … Expand

    Thoughts-
    Scorn is an incredible experience, and I’d honestly recommend it to horror fans just because of how unique it is, with aesthetics ripped right out of the mind of H.R. Giger. It features jaw-droppingly gorgeous visuals and phenomenal audio design that really help pile its thick atmosphere on the player. Throughout the relatively-short game—I completed it in a single sitting over around 7 hours—the oppressive atmosphere and the general mystery of its setting was more than enough to pull me through.

    Exploration in Scorn is a lot of fun, and there’s a level of enjoyment to be had just in admiring the craftsmanship of the visuals and audio alone. As a complete package, however, Scorn is a bit of a let down, not because of its short length, but rather its abysmal combat.

    Since it feels like it’s meant to be more of an experience than a game, I believe Scorn succeeds at what it was trying to achieve. Sure, it doesn’t have much in the way of an obvious story to follow, but like I said, even just wandering around ends up being quite a bit of fun.    … Expand

I greatly enjoyed the walking simulator aspect of walking around, examining what is around me and trying to understand the world. The puzzles were hit or miss, though the interaction you have with the world through devices and tools really got you in the mood.

    The combat was basic and frustrating at times, and I dare say not needed. I would even say it would have been better if you were never given weapons and were expected to avoid things but that's just me.

    Besides the length, my only real criticism is how the story was presented. I felt it needed to provide the player with more definitive information in the form of objects/items/creatures in the world. Far too much is left in the air and leaves the player wondering what happened. This was of course the intention but isn't satisfying to the player.

    In the end I want more in this world. I want another story, or expansion of this one to fill in some gaps.    … Expand

Please do not read reviews of people who only used to playing big AAA BLOCK BUSTER throw everything in your face / 50-100 hours + games... With that out of the way this game deserve your time for sure.

    So here is my short list:

    - game is NOT worth $40, maybe that is the biggest sin of this release but I think the price will come down fast. $20 is ideal price or even better play it on Xbox game pass. Support the developers more and buy it on EPIC or GOG

    - Graphic is FENOMENAL... The attention to detail is simply stunning. The dark ambient , colors , sculptures, animations... everything is top notch. I think most of the development time was spend on the art. So take it slow and enjoy the view. It's simply beautiful in gross ways.

    - Sound is AMAZING as well. Little sounds, big sound, ambience, meat sound, mechanical fx, steps and even some subtle music everything fits perfectly into presentation.

    - Gameplay is OK. I know people complain about this but it is really not that bad. It's not doom but its fun. I tried to play it with controller but after a few close encounters I realized that mouse and keyboard is still the king and save yourself a lot of nerves.

    - People complain about autosave, I had one a little far away autosave so I had to repeat a few steps every time I get killed. Still after getting the grips with monsters and controls it was OK

    - Story? I still don't get it , no spoiler but I think there is definitely a bigger meaning in all of this. Final ACT is full of stuff to think about.

    - Maybe they could incorporate some kind of story telling during the game (like senua sacrifice has) . I have a feeling that this have been a missed opportunity to show and expand the story in some way...

    - Game is around 4 to 5 hours max if you stretch it. For me that was totally enough as well you can get all achievements pretty easily. I love the feeling of completing everything without hundreds of unnecessary achievement left behind that only fanatics can get after playing the game for years.

    This game is PURE ART. So go play it as you cant see often stuff like this in video games.    … Expand

I caught myself several times just sitting with my mouth open amazed at the artwork and the weirdly intriguing things I was surrounded by. That is exactly what the developers always intended it to be. It was never intended to be a shooter. It was never intended to make full sense. It was intended to be art that just happens to be a game. But to appreciate art, we have to draw some of our own conclusions. In that reasoning the developers did give us plenty of environmental clues as to what this world was and possibly what happened. It’s story or your purpose is not straightforward, but if you're really paying attention you can see the everything nearly perfectly. For those wanting more story, the art book explains more by holding your hand through the design process of this world and what things are or possibly are.

    Scorn has its issues. It’s combat can be annoying and not accurate. In fact, the enemies in one section deter you from exploring slowly, which is it’s main draw to play. That could’ve been dealt with better somehow. Its puzzles are hard, but I found myself wanting more and easier versions of them in sprinkled around in bite size doses as well. It’s tragically short. I also feel like it could’ve been half the amount of time longer. It probably should’ve been 11-12 hours of game when if you’re fast to normal paced you can play it in 3-8. I was satisfied with the last level, but I could’ve used about two more areas with different aesthetics sandwiched between to round the whole thing out. It’s very harrowing as a whole, but didn’t get to me too bad. I am a horror and Giger fan though. Some other players might need to spread the playing out for the emotional toll it may take.

    It’s an experience. And for that it succeeds. I caution to even call it a full game and rather an interactive art and puzzle story. It has some flaws, is tragically short, very heartbreaking, but so worth it for the trip info this alien world. It’s not for everyone. Go into it with open expectations about what type of experience it is. Don’t hope for something the creators have directly told us it’s not. It’s not a shooter and it’s not text or dialog driven. You are there to take it in, analyze the surroundings, and make your way through with every gruesome and heart breaking step.

    For the experience it is, it succeeds completely. I’d love a sequel or DLC and gladly delve back into it or something like it. The one thing it could use to break up the heartache is a little more reward or investment into the character. Scorn is for you if you’re a surreal art lover, sci fi buff, horror fan or if you enjoy speculating about strange stories. It’s an absolutely gorgeous piece of work made with so much love. It’s something to be amazed by and does it extremely well. I’m thankful someone dared to make it and hope there is always more of that risk taking for art in the future. It’s more than worth it to create and to experience.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished it.

    The 4/10 is for the graphics alone, as the plot (there is none) and gameplay (it's extremely basic) don't garner any points. This really took 6 years to make? It's a four-hour long game with a really disappointing ending as if the developers didn't have enough time to think of a satisfying conclusion...

    The shooting is bad, it's just plain bad. There are 3 enemy types and you move slower than a snail stuck in glue. There is one boss (which is really just another puzzle) and the game is 100% linear with zero exploration. Flip this switch, grab that jar of goo, get a piece of your body ripped off, etc. Not worth playing, watch a YouTube video walkthru instead as there is no satisfaction in finishing the game yourself.

    I don't think it's even worth playing if you got it for free, it's just too slow and extremely unsatisfying! Don't expect any answers or satisfaction from this walking simulator/puzzle game.    … Expand

If this game had more sound to add to the atmosphere then I would rate this much higher. Small missable details in games do matter but ONLY in games like this where you're mainly walking around and solving puzzles, like in stray or limbo.

    Многие говорят, что нет сюжета и экспозиции, но лично я всё это увидел через локации и героев. И да, их в игре два. Прелесть в том, что дизайнеры Scorn дают игроку самому всё понять, главное — уметь видеть. Здесь никто не разъясняет каждую мелочь. Через окружение можно понять многие моменты о мире и цивилизации, которая погибла. Концовка вовсе содержит философское высказывания авторов.

    С геймплеем то же самое. Тут не надо нестись, как лошадь, а необходимо изучать мир и поведение врагов. Локации большие, а разбираться в них с невероятным визуальным стилем одно удовольствие. Когда изучил локацию и решил головоломку, продвигаешься дальше с чувством первооткрывателя и исследователя, что очень приятно.

    К сражениям с врагами тоже стоит подходить осторожно, изучая их поведение и работу оружия. Это не шутер в стиле Doom, убить может каждый противник.

    Игра проходится за 6-7 часов, что с таким подходом к геймплею и локациям идеально. Ни один аспект не успевает надоесть, а после прохождение хочется снова пересмотреть или перепройти некоторые места, чтобы убедиться в своих мыслях.

    С удовольствием пройду Scorn ещё раз через полгодика-год. Надеюсь, авторы продолжат делать игры и не откажутся от своего подхода. А всем критикам советую перестать играть в однообразные дрочильни, прочитать пару статей об игре и попробовать ещё раз сыграть в Scorn.    … Expand

    Думал сделаю интересный обзор, думал будет игра года, но, в итоге, получилось достаточно спорное развлечение, и я тут не скажу ничего нового, я, в целом, согласен с тем, что про игру писали критики.
    Ну давайте я начну с хорошего, ведь игру я всё же рекомендую, всё-таки невероятный, в каждой мелочи красивый - визуал (хоть и вдохновлённый Гигером и фильмом "Чужой", но при этом являющийся достаточно самобытным), в купе с современной графикой и хорошей оптимизацией - сложно это испортить, по игре атмосферно бродить, чуть ли не каждые 10 минут можно найти кадр на уровне "киношного",
    Но сразу скажу - игра не слабонервных, мы играем за кусок "человекоподобного" мяса, и, в нашем, окружении - всё сделано..буквально всё, сделано - из мяса и костей, это такая.. мерзкая красота, опять же - не для всех, учитывая ещё то, что тут будут некие подобия живых существ, которых мы будем.. буквально убивать, но, с другой стороны, это достаточно уникальный жестокий брутальный экспериенс,
    Также это и не просто бродилка, кому-то "головоломочная" часть игры тоже не зайдёт, но я наоборот считаю это ещё одним большим плюсом игры, уровни тут представляют из себя лабиринты, в которых вы должны в определённой последовательности разблокировывать разные механизмы, тут просто вообще не объясняется что делать, думай сам - как говорится, нет никаких подсказок, но сами головоломки нетрудные, вполне решаются методом тыка) А если заблудитесь, то всегда можно быстренько чекнуть walktrough на ютубе.
    Ну а вот если вам начнут затирать, что это что-то новое для игровой индустрии, что-то необычное, вы просто не поняли, вы просто не эстет, то это не совсем так, ведь другая половина геймплея просто "не работает", она сделана просто на 0, я говорю именно о шутерной части..

    Après la version Serie X j'ai fait la version PC grâce au GP et le jeu est toujours un plaisir. Et sur PC c'est encore plus une claque. Et je remet donc mon avis que j'avais mit pour le version serie X.

    Excellent jeu d'ambiance et d'énigme. C'est pas un FPS mais plutôt un puzzle game. Un jeu qui vas forcément cliver.

Et sur PC c'est encore plus une claque. Et je remet donc mon avis que j'avais mit pour le version serie X.

    Excellent jeu d'ambiance et d'énigme. C'est pas un FPS mais plutôt un puzzle game.
    Un jeu qui vas forcément cliver. Un jeu d'ambiance, gore, qui demande de la réflexion et qui veut que l'on prend son temps, va forcément diviser les avis.
    Ici pas de bourrinage et de grosse phases de shoot, il faut réfléchir explorer, chercher etc... C'est pas facile et c'est dur parfois. Aucune aide donc vous devez vous débrouillez seul, sans dialogue, sans affichage particulier sur l'écran et même pas une ligne de texte. Comme à la bonne vieille époque ou on vous prenez pas par la main et on vous disait pas où aller, quoi faire, comment etc... Tout l'inverse de notre époque où tout t'es expliqué, où tu as des aides partout, map, indication divers sur la map, vue de faucon, couleur différente pour bien identifier ce que tu dois toucher ou attraper, auto-lock, téléportation au lieu souhaité, cinématique et ligne de dialogue qui t'explique tout, tu t'accroupie dans 20cm d'herbe t'es invisible, la vie qui se régénère toute seule, objectifs indiqué, automatisation d'options et j'en passe.
    L'ambiance sonore est excellente et colle parfaitement à la DA splendide. Techniquement c'est propre, beau, fluide. On est pas loin d'un jeu next gen graphiquement même si on est dans un jeu couloir et donc pas gourmand.
    Le game design n'a rien d'exceptionnel mais on attend pas un truc de fou pour un puzzle game vu fps. Par contre le level design est très très bien travailler et réfléchit.
    Le jeu est cours environ 6h, 6h32 pour ma part, mais j'ai prit du temps à apprécier et admirer les décors qui sont splendide et certains endroits sont de vrais tableaux.
    Très impressionné que se soit un studio indé qui est réussi à sortir un tel jeu et surtout après que le jeu soit mit de coté il y a quelques années suite à un financement pas suffisant.
    En résumé un jeu qui plaira ou non mais qui vas ravir les fans du genre puzzle game ou ambiance ou contemplatif ou les nostalgiques d'une époque où les jeux ne vous prenez pas par la main.    … Expand

    It will take a while until you find your first weapon and the game tries it best to make your experience of puzzle-solving extremely mundane and wasteful inbetween the really sparse enemy-encounters.

    First of all this game is not for everyone. The average CoD player will not be happy with it. The art-style and the atmosphere are fantastic. But the gameplay itself lacks a bit of depth. There are not mission targets, no tutorials and no maps. You just run around and solve problems to open doors etc.

    The game sucks.

    The trailer make you think it's an survival horror, but it's actually a boring puzzle game.
    If i knew this i would play Professor Layton instead

    Terrible puzzle game and terrible horror game, 40€ for 3 hours of gameplay.

    Could have been so much better if it just was a puzzle game with no combat at all. I love the visuals and the sound design, incredible atmosphere, but the sense of the whole thing is totally impossible to understand until the very end. I expected the game to shed some light on the mystery towards the end, but it actually became just more obscure. A huge waste of potential.

    I´m getting too angry over here, just deleted the game. They should have implemented better save mechanics because when you miss a weapon everything goes to hell. Level design is nowhere near Gigers works (some places are great but overall its a bit uninspired) and the gameplay is not good.. except for some of the riddles!

You can see how much effort they put into this game in every corner. The music is perfect and the story is interesting too even though you have to think and you have to put your own ideas into it. There is a lot of space for interpretation and that matches with the atmosphere.

    But its probably not for everyone. Like I mentioned its not Outlast or resident evil. Its a slow Puzzle Game with a terrifying scenario. There are no jumps cares or other boring mainstream horror elements. Its more about the pessimistic journey and the brutality that almost fades away because you loose your hold in reality. I think i have never seen such disturbing things in a video game before.

    This is why i love the Game so much its something that i have never played before.

    But if you don't like slow games than you probably shouldn't spent your money on it.    … Expand

Can we classify this as a game? it's an experience, but i assure you, you will remember this as boring experience, gorgeously boring, but still boring.

    Game is rather walking simulator with few puzzles and basically all what you do is wandering around and pressing everything you can. There is also part with shooting and its a pity they made game unfair and frustrating because if you dont know game, you have to die, there is no chance you can make it through. Once you know what to expect, how weapons feels and how to use them: its doable but it brings rather nothing and it takes time to get into the mood again. If they put fighting to minimum, it would be much better imo.

    Otherwise game brings something special: there is very hard feeling, that you actually dont know who you are, who you represents and where do you go. You lack of sense. You only know you are conscious in this world and all what you can do is to go forward. This lack of ID is strongest part of game as you are not sure, if you can identify with what is happening on the screen - is it you who do all those stuff or is it creature/body you control?

    World has it own rules and many things will be unanswered. Thats another strong point of game, nevertheless a bit more hints would be nice to have so we have some more lore to work with.

    Graphics si fantastic and you have to play on max setting with same good screen, otherwise I guess lot of atmosphere is gone and game is rather shallow and can not give the vibe you deserve. Without sound and graphics I wouldnt recommend to play and wait, till you have something good to play it on/with.

    Some of the best graphics/atmosphere and some of the worst combat I've seen in years. It's so bad that if it wasn't on gamepass I would have stopped playing it and asked for a refund. Honestly, if they added a "story mode" that eliminates the combat completely and leaves only the puzzle/walking-simulator aspect it would be so much more enjoyable.

    L'unica cosa che si salva di questo gioco è la grafica... Gameplay assolutamente: incomprensibile, non ti spiga mai niente di quello che devi fare, noioso (probabilmente il gioco più noioso che io abbia mai giocato) ed una storia senza alcun senso. Spero vivamente che la prossima volta facciano un gioco migliore perché, a parer mio, questo è il videogioco peggiore del decennio.

    This is not your typical power fantasy FPS. Combat, while serviceable, feels cumbersome and can be frustrating at times. Of course your not supposed to be Doom Guy or Master Chief of this world, just a random tortured soul trying to survive in this hellscape. Fortunately there is just a few sections heavier on combat. Progression is mostly tied to solving environmental puzzles. Outside of somewhat clunky shooting mechanics the only other real complaint i have is how Scorn handles save-states: lack of ability to manual save the game, no clear indication of auto-save occurring and small amount of save points overall.

    The main draw of Scorn are the puzzles, its dense atmosphere, brilliant art design which is heavily inspired by works of artists H. R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński and environmental storytelling whit all the underlining themes that it encapsulates. Typical soundtrack is replaced by a subdued ambient score. Outside of few music cues, in key moments, you may even, at points, dismiss the score as background noise if your not into dark ambient music akin to Lustmord, who was unsurprisingly also involved in this project.

    This is certainly not a title for everyone but puzzle and horror fans should definitely give this game a chance. If your intrigued by the visuals and don't mind trying something different Scorn is worth playing even just to soak up the atmosphere.    … Expand

    Scorn was one of my most expected horror games, after a long while, what we got is a fairly boring game with bland mechanics and mostly just environments. I wish this would be an experiment for Ebb Software, but there is just so much wasted potential here which left me with just disappointment.
