    Often visually striking, Scorn's biomechanical look would do H. R. Giger proud. However, this surreal look can grow to feel a little samey at times and the detailed geometry can often camouflage the few interactive objects in the game.

    Plodding and sometimes dull, Scorn doesn't offer anything in the way of tension and is only superficially horrifying to those squeamish to gore. Initially the game offers no combat and the level design is weaker than later in the game, making me wonder how many gave up on it before it really starts to get going.

    Not that my 7+ hours with Scorn ever left second gear. The slow pace and surprisingly unemotional combat feels almost like a grind. It was the visuals that kept me going, along with the bizarre story that Scorn barely hints at. Thankfully, the game ends better than it starts, but since it starts fairly rough…that's hardly high praise.

    I think horror fans would get something from this game, at least from the visual thrills and squishy environments. It is relatively easy and the puzzles never stumped this action gamer.

    You aren't playing Scorn for riveting gameplay, but the visuals and short runtime make it a memorable experience at the very least.    … Expand

    only worth 20 dollar

    - 4:30-5 hour long.

    -unoptimized, unusable controller glitch and bad disappointing ending.
    -running simulator with mini games not puzzles, bad sluggish combat (unavoidable enemy attacks) and bad final boss.
    -only good great atmosphere and good graphic

    Bardzo ciekawie zaprojektowane lokacje, wizualnie niczym z concept artów, nawet graficznie aż za bardzo. Wszystko wygląda jak narysowane, przez co naprawdę rzadko budzi obrzydzenie/niepokój.

    Nieskomplikowana fabuła, bez słownej narracji, raczej częścią przedstawionego świata niż czymś samodzielnym.

    Zagadki logiczne w porządku - łatwe, stosunkowo satysfakcjonujące, a niektóre mają kilka rozwiązań.

    Krótka.

    Walka przeciętna, tylko kilka broni i ich praktyczna strona jest zwyczajna i nudnawa.
    Wszyscy przeciwnicy upierdliwy i nie ma ich zbytu wielu.

    Bywało trudno, bo łatwo przegapić moment, od którego możemy się leczyć, to jak spacerują przeciwnicy lub w sposób na zadanie obrażeń bossowi.
    Gdy wiemy co i jak, jest raczej łatwo - nie jest to zrobione w satysfakcjonujący sposób.

    Pojedyncze niedoróbki:
    - Raz by pchnąć wszystko dalej było konieczne podejście do czegoś bardzo nierzucającego się w oczy.
    - Raz po bossie nie mogłem "go" użyć, więc musiałem wczytać i pokonać go ponownie.

    To mogłoby być wyjątkowe doświadczeniem w VR, zwłaszcza jakby niektóre fragmenty cutscenek zyskały interaktywność - wielka szkoda, że ma możliwości zagrania w ten sposób.

    PS: Ustawienie graficzne "postprodukcja" na wysokich ustawieniach znacząco spłyca głębie obrazu - warto ustawić średnie lub niskie. Ustawienia FOV ukryte w ustawieniach sterownia i kamery - bez zmiany czułem się jakbym szurał po wszystkim mordą.    … Expand

    Cons:

    1. It could be longer.
    2. It could have had a bit more action to satisfy a wider audience.
    3. It would be nice if you could save wherever you wanted so that you can revisit your decisions.
    4. A map would be handy but not having one makes it feel even more immersive.    … Expand

    Beautiful graphics, interesting atmosphere. I would love to play this game, if not for the terrible combat component. It's just impossible to fight. It would be better if there were no battles in this game. Or it would be a normal weapon. Or a normal ability to fight off enemies.

    At first I thought I could give the game an 8 while playing through the first part of the game with its intricate puzzles, flesh and bone machinery, beautiful views. Then I stumbled upon enemies and I was disappointed by the clumsiness of the battle, ugly, even for this game, awkward enemies (and how much potential was for the developer's fantasy). I was infuriated from time to time by moments when I died not because of the difficulty or the number of enemies, but because the combat system was like "jelly". Pleased only with the boar enemy and the last boss. The last chapter of the game: So beautiful, stylish, intriguing final chords and ... nothing ... it's not even an open ending or something, it's just "more brutal, more horror, more violence and grotesque baby". I was very disappointed.
    Perhaps if the game were more active, or more interesting things happened, such an ending would justify itself. But after such a long, very patient walk, in such a relatively short game, understanding the ending would be a comforting reward. But no, they take that away from you too. So there will be no 8. There will be only 7 out of 10, unfortunately, as I said earlier.    … Expand

Giger and the bio-punk environment of the Alien-series so this was a must-play for me, basically it’s an atmospheric walking simulator in a hostile environment. You don’t have to understand the machines and apparati of the world only their mechanics are of interest.

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

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

    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.

    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

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.

The combat is at least comprehensible, but its clunky, boring, and checkpoints needlessly punishing when you get killed, once again ruining the pacing. Fundamentals like "where can i walk" have not been nailed down, the level design is riddled with crutches like invisible walls.

    If it was literally just a walking sim where you push fleshy buttons sometimes to progress and maybe with trivally easy combat along the way, i would have given it an 8+. It would have been amazing as just an interactive art piece where you move from one area to the next to marvel at the sights and sounds.

No dialogue or texts left the game ambiguous and up for different interpretations. My favorite part of the game was the concept of the parasite being helpful in multiple ways, but also killing Scorn guy at the same time. The different alien types were fascinating to see as well and the many puzzles felt satisfying to finish. The ending is self explanatory and made for a sad reality that often we don't always get what we want. A short game that was definitely worth my time… 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.

    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

    - Геймплей - его просто нету, мне не интересно сражаться с жирными врагами, которые отличаются только хп и размером, ну и один из них не умеет плеваться. Боевка в этой игре настолько отвратительная, что лучше бы я просто ходил по кишкам без врагов, игра бы была лучше.
    - Затянутость и бэктрекинг. Игра и так короткая, но искусственное растяжение игры таким дешевом и противным способом мне не нравится. Скорн - это не имерсив сим, локации в игре являются просто декорацией, мне достаточно одного раза посмотреть на них.
    - Конченый босс и гениальная идея геймдизайнера сделать босс файт дважды. Босс просто переодически спамит дальними атаками, а задача игрока бить по уязвимым точкам, это настолько медленно и скучно, что я засыпал на этом. Так еще после убийства нам нужно замочить опять такого же босса, но у нас теперь такое же оружие, гспд, это худший боссфайт в моем игровом опыте.

    Я поставил бы игре 8/10, если бы был фоторежим и отсутствие боевой части в игре.

El arte es el producto de un genio de mente enferma, su ambientación es delirante y la soledad y claustrofobia que transmite es sobresaliente. Que nadie espere un shooter o un juego de acción rápida y trepidante, este es un paseo de tres o cuatro horas por la mente de un genio depravado, aunque también hay que eliminar algunos enemigos y las armas tienen la munición contadísima, hasta eso, hasta las armas son el producto de un cerebro enfermo. Absolutamente recomendable.… Expand

    Don't belive the positive critics, this game is a big scam! It's miss-advertised plus completly boring!
    It's a walking simulator for geometry or if you ask for a house and get a roofless hut after 6 years. It's the biggest scam i ever witnessed so far! Don't fall for it!

    Scorn is boring, uninspired, and tedious. It could pass in the 1950s but not in 2022. Thank God it was on the game pass, I feel sorry for the people who paid for the game. Hopefully the studio goes out of business. Do not waste time on it!

    The Artbook is FANTASTIC, it helps with getttin' a lil' insight and lore bits as you read!
    The Soundtrack is as moody and atmospheric as you would expect! and it gave me as much inspiration as the art direction!

    Overall? Amazin' game, it feels it was made for me, I do have a new big favorite now, and I just wish I could forget it all so I could experience everythin' all over again!

    10/10 no question.

    Amazing experience! Very dark and VERY beautiful. There are almost no overlays or quest markers which makes the game's atmosphere even denser. Don't expect too much from the game play it is really not about that. If this game doesn't get any rewards for its design I would be shocked.

The puzzles are half-baked, the combat is simplistic, the level design is cramped as well as linear, and their is no real story to speak of. The Giger inspired art house project may have been conceptually interesting initially, but even most rational development teams, publishers or people in general would've or should've fought for this to be transplanted into a different medium such as a short novella or short film perhaps. The fact that it is a videogame means it cannot ultimately wax poetic or visually stun with its bland, dark, dull, alien archaeological dig inspired hallways or squishy flesh control panels.

    When you boil down Scorn to its most basic elements it just doesn't work as a whole project. Its too middling to be a shooter, its too simple to be a puzzle game, its too linear to be explored and its too limited in scope due to its offensively short length. Some were told six to eight hours, some reviewers claimed less, but even I managed to finish this in a little over three hours and could not have felt more frustrated by a seemingly pointless ending that seemed to aggressively rub in the time that I wasted. Its as if the developers had accomplished some sort of complete subversion and all stood around clinking wine glasses as soon as each player reached the end of their admittedly short journey through soggy boneyard Alien world and capped the whole thing off with a brief toast as they sniffed their own farts all around the room.

    Someone yanked this fetus out too early, or could at least be blamed for cutting the poor thing to mostly pieces, leaving only vital organs remaining. This game seems to be a shell of its post-trailer/ promotional self, leaving much to ask for anyone who invested actual money. Questions like, where is the rest of your game? Or even, why isn't this scary or unsettling? Why is it more gross than interesting or captivating? Maybe captivating would've been a much better place to start, since this title doesn't seem to have any real core or thread or even a heartbeat. its a cold, sterile, confusing, dark, stilted, mushy, and rotten experience that isn't entertaining on even a primal level. Really its the worst thing it could ever hope to have been after more than eight years and I find that extremely sad.    … Expand

    No esconden algunos de sus referentes artísticos y los plasman con tal encanto que estos llorarían si pudieran levantarse de sus tumbas y contemplar como su obra ha cobrado vida mediante la tecnología, como su obra ahora se escucha y respira en un espacio tridimensional.
    los murales y detalles del juego nos explican como el ser humano trasciende mediante la ingeniería genética hasta tal punto de ser uno con la tecnología, de ser literalmente tecnología y organismo al mismo tiempo, creando un mundo donde todo es fruto de la vida y esta misma se conecta entre sí como un sistema orgánico compuesto por distintas partes entretrelazadas a la perfección mediante todo tipo de tejidos y señales eléctricas. La genética es modificada para siempre y avanzada hasta mutar hacia sistema superiores en un mundo donde la vida, pasa a ser nada más que materia orgánica, cómo de material podría ser tratada la arena o el metal, y esta se representa de forma pura y desinteresada salvo en la propia reproducción y expansión mostrándose como una mezcla entre lo animal y vegetal. A pesar del énfasis en el acto sexual de las esculturas del último mapa parece que el procedimiento real de reproducción pasa nada más que por más frías máquinas biomecánicas, así que quizás todos esos monumentos sean de carácter religioso o simplemente tengan la voluntad glorificar costumbres concebidas (para los seres del presente) como antiguas o incomprensibles pero qué enaltecen por formar parte de lo que les ha llevado de forma primitiva a su civilización actual.
    Si no eres capaz de ver una mínima profundidad en esta obra o intentas rebajar su increíble trabajo artístico a una expresión pueril y exaltada, escandalizada por la temática o cualquier referencia a elementos de carácter sexual quizás este juego no es para ti, así de simple.

    No matter if you are looking for well designed puzzles, intense combat, enjoyable exploration or story, this game does not have it.

    It's a 5 hour long completely linear walking simulator without any form of real exploration or real story. There are minor elements of combat (3 enemy types) and puzzles (4 mini-game like puzzles), to delude people into thinking it would be more than a walking simulator, but trust me on this, it is not.

    It's beyond that worth mentioning that they are falsely advertising this game on their kickstarter and steam page as:

    "6-8 hour long non-linear horror adventure where you acquire different skill sets"

    which are 4 lies in 10 words.

    It's not non-linear.
    The average playtime is around 5 hours.
    It's not an adventure, because it has no exploration in it.
    And you also do not acquire different skill sets, unless you would count holding keys and ammo pouches as a skill set. You can't even jump.

    8 years of development produced one of the most boring games ever created. It's clear there was too much focus on making the game look and sound good, than actually being fun and giving a sense of accomplishment. Way too short, basic game design elements just don't exist, level design is horrendous, controls are confusing, abysmal AI, and "boss" encounters are a joke. What a disappointment

    There clearly was a large amount of cut content, as well as a clunky combat system that caused me to get frustrated a fair number of times. The length was quite short as well. Despite these criticisms, this game will stick with me for a while. This game almost met my personal expectations, but not quite. It could have been so much more, but what we have is still a wonderful and truly haunting experience that will go down as a flawed masterpiece and a cult classic in the years to come.
