   Signalis is an absolutely outstanding survival horror game. A very oldschool style of survival horror, too, and all the better for it. YourSignalis is an absolutely outstanding survival horror game. A very oldschool style of survival horror, too, and all the better for it. Your inventory is incredibly limited, so your choices for what you carry with you are very important. The story has enough that's easy enough to understand that you can still follow the plot, but it has far more mystery and lore for you to piece together and figure out what's happening that makes it so much more engaging to interact with. People are going to be theorizing about the story for years to come, and I for one can't wait for it. I think that any fan of survival horror games, horror in general, or even just retro aesthetics should play this game. It is easily my 2022 game of the year.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Signalis is a very very excepcional Survival Horror game, it has all that Survival Horror needs and run all so well. The ambientation is great to the context of the game, the history with plot-twists and some details that makes it confuse and hard to understand makes the experience so fascinating. The enemies aren't new in this genre, zombies with his variations more stronger, but it is part of the essence of this games, that zombie androids (Replikas) with the capacity to get up once you "killed" them adds a new mechanic that makes you feel not safe in the rooms.
   The Puzzles are good, they aren't difficult but they aren't easy either, you'll pay atention sometimes. The bosses are good too, they aren't difficult at all but they give you pression that makes the situation tense, they are well. The equipment are the classics, the gun, the shotgun, the magnum, the spray that heals you, and some items that add a little bit of gameplay.
   I recomend this game SO MUCH because I love the Survival Horrors and this one is a good one, this is not just a Survival Horror, this is a Drama too, but a Drama with a good script, a Drama with Tragedy.
   
   Resume of all of this:
   You have to play this game, it have good scenaries, great ambientation, great gamplay, great story, good enemies, good bosses and it respects the classics Survival Horrors

   It's stylized like an old PS1 era survival horror game as low res and low poly 3D, with lots of Silent Hill feel and a bit of Resident Evil,It's stylized like an old PS1 era survival horror game as low res and low poly 3D, with lots of Silent Hill feel and a bit of Resident Evil, or maybe even the old Alone in the Dark games. It's always hard in survival horror games to know how much ammo you should save so I found myself being a bit too cautious probably, running past a lot of guys and ending the game with left over ammo.
   
   It had a very creepy feel, nailing the atmosphere of these older games. I found my self getting stuck with what to do exactly, so I went to looking up a few parts in a guide which I normally don't do with games. Also there were some parts where they expected you to use this in game camera to remember stuff but I just used my phone camera to take a photo to reference that since inventory space is so low, or just followed a guide for a few of them.
   
   The story was a bit hard to follow, set in a sci-fi world of replicants on a distant planet. Cool setting but it sort of lost me at parts.
   
   I played on PC, and the keyboard controls were a bit clunky but did the job. Took me just under 11 hours to finish. I had some problems with it, but I'd still give it like 8/10 since it overall had a cool old school presentation and creepy tone.… Expand

   TL;DR: A challenging, visually and narratively compelling Survival-Horror game and spiritual successor of the old day's "Resident Evil" typeTL;DR: A challenging, visually and narratively compelling Survival-Horror game and spiritual successor of the old day's "Resident Evil" type games. Get if you're into hard-ass and "weird" experiences, enjoy the glimpses into this strange universe with socialist-fascist undertones. Very worth it if you like a good challenge.
   
   I played this on Xbox, to be totally clear, so I recommend using a controller if on PC. As Signalis is in Game Pass right at launch it was a good chance to pick up and get into - and it sure was a hell of a positive surprise! Signalis throws you right in your "Replika" body without any big fanfare. You don't know who you are - literally as the unit you are playing, and figuratively as the player - you just know you have to find your partner unit who misteriously vanished, leaving only a photograph as proof it ever existed.
   
   And so you go down into a mysterious base, very much driven by a strange urge to find your partner - since you are a unit of exploration and support, as you find out by reading up on your tech specs - and discover a derelict base full of dead units walking, afflicted with a mysterious disease, or whatever you would call it on machine-human hybrids. The mystery gets deeper and deeper as you progress, at first slowly, then at an almost breakneck speed in the middle stages of the game, as puzzle after puzzle gets thrown at you.
   
   Weapons are sparse, as is ammo - so you'll need to think before you shoot. Sometimes that is not at all possible and the game will set you up to fail. Saving is done in true Resident Evil style, at red glaring monitor stations - there is no auto save. So when you fail one hour after your last one, you will have the pleasure of re-doing everything.
   
   Strong points of the game:
   
   Narrative - the weird, fascist-germano regime that seems to be controlling this part of space will probably make you shake all by yourself, reading the strange suppressive messages strewn all around the base as you discover more about yourself and the world.
   
   Graphics - they are a weird, intentional pixelated mess, throwing you back to what gaming used to be ca 1995-2000 roughly. The game artfully masters to render into this 90s pixel filter.
   
   Sound - it's dead quiet most of the time, but the game masters audio cues to clue you into "danger close" moments. The atmosphere is seriously dark.
   
   The bad:
   Aiming mechanics are finnicky and hard to control - the auto aim does sometimes lock on to the wrong enemy without much control for the player.
   
   Inventory - the game keeps the inventory to 6 items max at every point. There actually is a short narrative bit explaining it to the player, but that doesn't make it any better. The game would benefit from giving you means to expand your inventory. The back-and-forth tracking due to this at later game stages is very annoying.
   Overall, super strong game with great narrative and a serious challenge. If you can work with the finnicky aim mechanics and the "no guide given" outside of the narrative - you'll have a blast.… Expand

   крч крайне специфический проект
   
   разрабы понятно чем вдохновлялись, но кажется забыли, что мы в 2к22 находимся, и некоторые игровыекрч крайне специфический проект
   
   разрабы понятно чем вдохновлялись, но кажется забыли, что мы в 2к22 находимся, и некоторые игровые условности крайне неудочно сюда перетащили, вроде крайне ограниченного инвентаря, что порождает просто дебильнейшую беготню туда-сюда, от ящика к загадке
   
   плюс в начале нужно додуматься некоторые вещи в сундук убирать, т.к. они не пригодятся, а вот далее не всё так однозначно, тот же фонарь - я его убрал в определенный момент и дальше ой как пожалел, мб конечно это так задуманно, но игра сама по себе очень кривая местами, от чего эти вещи воспринимаются как раздражающие, а не добавляющие челленджа
   
   боевка полный кал, лучше бы её вообще не было и сфокусировались чисто на загадках и прочем
   
   пару раз застревал и вообще не мог вдуплить че делать, открывал гайд и.....оказывается в УГЛУ определенной комнаты есть дверь, которая никак себя не идентефицирует как дверь, её тупо НЕ ВИДНО, и по иронии в этот же момент карта не доступна, не подсмотреть
   
   далее - пиксельхантинг при подборе предметов, открывании дверей и добиваниях тихий ужас - срабатывает в лучшем случае со второго раза. да и в целом управление не самое годное, к сожалению
   
   нарратив - странно, непонятно, вроде и атмосферно, и стильно, но по моему вкусу намешали всякой ереси, те же враги выглядят всрато и неуместно, будто бы из другой игры
   
   понимаю, что отсутствие шарма объясняется маленьким бюджетом, но всё же
   
   по итогу я уже вроде ближе к концу, но хз, буду ли допроходить, ибо крайне уныло и скучно… Expand

   Can't change keyboard binds. this is unacceptable in this time and age. There is no excuse for the lack of complete key rebinding otpion.
