    Beksiński and Giger have been beautifully combined together to create a most enjoyable and unique experience, and to top it all off the game itself is enjoyable and interesting to delve into. Couldn't be happier with this game. Only wish it was longer

    I know a lot of people hate these kind of games and the marketing for it is the only thing they did wrong. This is a puzzle game. Not a shooter. It would be a sick shooter with the art style, but as a puzzle game .. it's also sick.

    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!

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.

    Unfortunately this game got bad press from few big game review websites for very questionable reasons. 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    Unfortunately this game got bad press from few big game review websites for very questionable reasons. 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

    If you're expecting a 30 hour game or a game filled with combat, this game definitely isn't for you.

    While I finished the game in pretty much exactly 5 hours, the atmosphere you get in this game is something you only see in games like once a decade. The world throughout the entire game was gorgeous in the most grotesque way possible and throughout the entire experience I found myself just admiring my surroundings every step of the way.

    The game deemphasizes combat in quite a unique way as well, giving off the impression that the enemies aren't monsters hunting you but just creatures that will go about their normal behavior if you don't get in their way. To me it felt more like I'm trying to get things done without disturbing the local wildlife (as grotesque as they were) rather than avoiding bloodthirsty monsters. It kinda gave me the weird feeling that not everything that looks like an abomination is evil.

    The main gameplay aspects involve puzzle solving and exploration. I felt the puzzles were just the right level of difficulty and forced me to look around and explore in order to find the right way to progress, which goes nicely with an atmosphere where you want to be encouraged to look at everything around you.

    While I would've liked it to be longer, the work that they put into what is there really shines through and makes it hard to criticize. Each area has totally new puzzles and visuals while all feeling consistent with each other, and I definitely respect the decision to stick with a shorter length game that has all unique content in each part of the game rather than copy pasting puzzles and graphical assets to double the playtime without putting in the work to make it not feel contrived by the end.    … Expand

    It's an amazing game with stunning visuals and interesting puzzles. Combat is a bit sloppy, but good overall. The story brings a strong philosophical message and leaves space to think of your own interpretation of it. Soundtrack is filled with great ambient tracks. Most importantly, the game feels very unique which is not so comon nowadays.

    Aqui vão minhas considerações:
    Hoje em dia está cada vez mais raro sentirmos algo enquanto jogamos, por isso optamos por games simples de avançar e matar todo mundo. Mas Scorn ganhou meu respeito quando conseguiu me passar Aflição, Ansiedade e uma pitada de Ância de vômito.
    Outro ponto positivo que eu adorei, é a ausencia de tutoriais e legendas, o game te deixa livre pra aprender por si mesmo, e o mesmo vale pra lore do game.
    Adoro games que deixam a historia aberta pra interpretações, pois isso cria comunidades de teorias pra investigarmos o game, pegar detalhes, figuras, estruturas, arquitetura. A ultima vez q eu tinha ficado tão eufórico pra ver teorias e criar minnhas teorias sobre um jogo foi com INSIDE.
    Sobre o grafico, eu meio q estou pouco me fodendo, kkk geralmente sou apaixonado por games pixelados, então não sou frescurento com gráfico.
    Pontos negativos: O game é curto e entendo a necessidade de ele ser lento, se fosse mais rápido, a gameplay duraria menos ainda, mas poha, irrita bastante a velocidade do protagonista.
    Esse ponto negativo na verdade é a cereja do bolo q eu senti que faltou: 'Final alternativo'. Games como esses que tem a lore aberta, costumam ter mais de 1 final pra justamente ludibriar o player, assim gerando um fator replay interessante.

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. También es injusto a nivel técnico compararlo con juegos cuyo equipo de desarrolladores es 18 veces superior.    … Expand

    El juego demanda mucha paciencia y el combate, que tiene bastante -es prácticamente la mitad del juego-, termina siendo casi rítmico, tienes que ser cuidadoso con como utilizas tu munición y tu salud, el mayor problema es que ninguna de estas mecánicas se te explica, no fue hasta muy tarde en el juego cuando aprendí que podías curarte, por ejemplo.

    Pero aún así recomiendo el juego por el simple hecho de que no hay nada en el mercado, ni en juegos, ni en films, ni en música, ni en literatura, actualmente, que se compare con la experiencia interactiva de Scorn.

    Este es un juego infinitamente demandante con el jugador que nunca compromete la visión de los diseñadores para complacer al publico general, si puedes jugar este titulo sabiendo bien que te adentras a la visión de alguien mas y que por lo tanto tienes tu ser el que se adapte a este mundo y no al revés. Entonces la experiencia que Scorn te dejara será una única, brutal, e inolvidable.

    No hay nada como este juego en la actualidad, lo vale.    … Expand

De hecho creo que estos dos juegos tienen cosas en común. Ambos se basan en la exploración y los puzzles para avanzar, pero en Scorn hay mecánicas más sólidas, tenemos combate, aunque en realidad sea anecdótico puesto que siempre la primera opción será evitarlo.

    Scorn nos ofrece un survival horror donde cuya baza más potente es el diseño artístico. De verdad que es impresionante. Me he pasado el juego ‘admirando’ los escenarios y el diseño de las maquinarias con las que hay que interactuar para avanzar. Cláramente inspirado en el artista H.R. Giger y tambien en algunos conceptos en las descripciones de horror cósmico de H.P. Lovecraft. Todo en el mundo de Scorn es biotecnología. El hueso, la sangre y otros tipos de fluidos lo llenan todo. Los sonidos de los escenarios en los que estamos, como si estuviéramos en el interior de un gigantesco cuerpo vivo. Es una vuelta de tuerca aún más realista al infierno que nos enseñaba ‘Agony’.

    En cuanto a mecánicas jugables, Scorn explota las clásicas del survival horror, pero desde una perspectiva en primera persona que ayuda mucho en una mayor inmersión en el juego. No soy muy aficionado al VR, pero ya he leido en las redes sociales voces que dicen que la VR a este juego le sentaría bien y estoy de acuerdo. La exploración, la resolución de unos puzzles retorcidísimos, en los cuales debemos ante todo entender el entorno de pesadilla en el que estamos sumergidos, sin tutoriales, solo dándole al tarro, con ensayo y error y observación. Un sistema de combate contra criaturas extrañísimas con la munición contada y la barra de vida siempre en las últimas. Sencillamente impresionante. Delicioso y a la par grotesco, el juego rezuma sangre, gore y sexo. Como si fuera una obra de Cliver Barker. Es una verdadera pasada, no apto para paladares sensibles… o tal vez sí, puesto que yo soy uno de ellos y me ha encantado.

    En contra? La duración del juego. Nuestro recorrido ha sido tortuoso, sin guías, sin pistas, solo nosotros y el mando. Hemos muerto, hemos fracasado en los puzzles y hemos dado vueltas como pollos sin cabeza y aún así no nos ha llegado a las 8 horas de partida. Otro punto en contra es no tener muy claro qué demonios hemos visto, qué es ese lugar donde hemos estado. Un planeta extraterrestre? Joder, espero que no nos invadan nunca, sería terrible. El juego nunca te lo explica, en realidad no vas a sacar más información de él de lo que ven tus ojos y oyes por tus oidos.

    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

    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.

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

    SPOILER:
    I hope there is a way to make a good ending, maybe never using the treatments because holding them the parasite could be their the evil; because the ending, so close to what seems like paradise for the protagonist, after all that he has gone through to get there, dragged away, (and mutilated), in that way, let's say not a fairy tale from all lived happily ever after.

También cuenta con un profundo simbolismo. Es algo que no se suele ver regularmente. Su jugabilidad es tosca, el personaje es lento, y los puzles complicados, al menos al principio. Es un juego que pondrá a prueba el ingenio y la perspicacia de muchos. Personalmente me gusta mucho, pues me recuerda a lo que solían ser los juegos survival horror de los años 90, toscos, sin pistas y difíciles. Será una joya incomprendida porque es un juego donde el arma que más debes usar es tu propio cerebro, y si te gusta jugar sin tener que pensar... pues, no será el juego para ti.

    At a time when I thought games were incapable of surprising me, Scorn proved me otherwise. This game has a superb art direction and a core gameplay reminiscent of classic "Survival horror". Despite that, it is important to note that its abstract narrative, its lack of interest in explaining its own mechanics and its emphasis on puzzles, make it a game far from the mainstream.

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

    Buen juego y el estilo artístico es 10/10 solo que te llegas a perder si no memorisas bien el camino

El juego es realmente bueno, tiene buenos puzzles y la ambientación esta muy bien lograda, te transmite el sentimiento de soledad y decadencia de aquella civilización aunque el juego no te da historia al menos con texto o algún diálogo gracias a eso da paso a la interpretación y así cada jugador le da el sentido que crea adecuado.… Expand

    Quite a special game that is not for everyone, but if you look at it from another angle and not like most 'ordinary' games and immerse yourself in the world it is pretty impressive how many details are there that tell a story about it.

    Si vas a jugar SCORN pensando que es un Dead Space, un Outlast, o un DOOM obviamente te vas a decepcionar, los mismos desarrolladores recalcan que este juego no debería ser considerado como un Shooter, este juego no utiliza esa mecánica como base fundamental sino como modo de interacción entre el jugador y los enemigos de el entorno para mantener el ritmo, No lo critiques por ser un juegoSi vas a jugar SCORN pensando que es un Dead Space, un Outlast, o un DOOM obviamente te vas a decepcionar, los mismos desarrolladores recalcan que este juego no debería ser considerado como un Shooter, este juego no utiliza esa mecánica como base fundamental sino como modo de interacción entre el jugador y los enemigos de el entorno para mantener el ritmo, No lo critiques por ser un juego con una historia sin sentido por que la intención es que el jugador utilice su mente para dárselo, SCORN fue creado a propósito sin diálogos y sin cinemáticas para darle al jugador la libertad de pensamiento que muy pocos juegos ofrecen actualmente.

    No te va a servir de nada comparar SCORN por que es un juego DIFERENTE a los demás y por ese motivo tampoco deberías criticarlo por hacer la diferencia, Por fin sale un juego de terror que no te bombardea con screamers y lo primero que hacen los críticos y el público el enterrarlo en críticas negativas por esos aspectos. Es otro tipo de terror y en mi opinión logró darme esa sensación de extrañísimo e inquietud que transmiten las obras de Beksiński, de hecho debería ser admirado como una obra de arte interactiva y creo que la mejor manera de transmitir las sensaciones que producen las obras de Giger fue hacer un videojuego.

    Creo que no hubiera estado mal un poco más de acción ya que siendo honesto siento que en gran parte del gameplay la ausencia de enemigos lo hizo algo lento en ritmo y algo aburrido en ese sentido, el fuerte de el juego en cambio es el diseño del mundo y sin duda se llevara mi voto en este aspecto en caso de ser nominado al Game Awards.

    SCORN no es un mal juego, solo es diferente y en lo personal ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que un juego me hizo pensar en diferentes sentidos, creo que el poder darle tantas teorías y significados a lo que sucede en el juego tanto en historia, mensajes implícitos y explícitos me parece maravilloso e increíble para un videojuego sin un solo dialogo, nada es correcto o incorrecto y eres libre de pensar lo que queras, ese es el fin de la narrativa de este juego en mi opinión.    … Expand

    Nothing like a normal FPS shooter but the visuals were impressive and by the time you get to the end the game feels oddly satisfying albeit confusing.

Level designs are so eerie and fun to explore. The game is definitely challenge but man i had blast playing this. It took me about 7 hours long to complete and funny enough i started it again as soon as i completed it.… Expand

    This Game is a masterpiece. Its not a shooter and its definitely not Outlast or something like that.
    Its a slow experience that doesn't help you when are stuck on a puzzle. It takes you serious and it takes your patience for granted. The graphics are so well done. You can see how much effort they put into this game in every corner. The music is perfect and the story is interesting too    This Game is a masterpiece.

    Its a slow experience that doesn't help you when are stuck on a puzzle. It takes you serious and it takes your patience for granted. The graphics are so well done. 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

    The gameplay in the game is pretty standard, but the visuals and the environment in the game are quite at the highest level, the game just felt the spirit of Hans Giger.

    Scorn makes up for its mechanical deficiencies with its wonderful design. Whether that will be enough for you to enjoy is your judgment call.

    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.

    Scorn has a unique setting focusing on symbolism, leaving everything to the player to discern and interpret. It is an acquired taste.
