    Unsighted does a few things fine and a lot of things poorly. The combat and writing are its strongest points, and both are pretty weak. The level design and visual design are the biggest culprits. The levels don't 'read' very well and do little to reward exploration; there is a lack of visual unity and overall consistency that makes things as fundamental as navigation and combat clunky andUnsighted does a few things fine and a lot of things poorly.

The levels don't 'read' very well and do little to reward exploration; there is a lack of visual unity and overall consistency that makes things as fundamental as navigation and combat clunky and unrewarding. It's been compared pretty readily to Hyper Light Drifer, which does Unsighted no favors at all. HLD told a solid story with no dialogue where Unsighted butchers a story with endless text. HLD had strong, smooth gameplay. Unsighted simply does not. It's got a lot of different systems and ideas! But it does absolutely none of them justice.… Expand

    The writing is verbose and bland. The gameplay is unpolished and time-consuming. The exploration is at once linear and scattered; diversions and puzzles invariably lead to useless items that do nothing to add dimension or enjoyability to the janky, bare-bones combat. The upgrade/progression system is one of the worst I've seen yet. Unsighted is, tragically, broken from the ground up.

    A decent game, weighed HEAVILY down by modern-day woke BS. Absolutely not worth purchasing, even on sale.

    Unsighted is awesome. More people should know about it and play it, especially considering that the game goes out of its way to be accessible even to people who usually find Souls-like titles too hard, or people who dislike the timer mechanic but still want to experience the game, or even people looking for a harder ride. This is a good game and you should go play it. It’s not quite for everyone… but it’s as close as any title I’ve reviewed comes to being a must-play.

    Unsighted is this year’s best Metroidvania/Zelda-like game by a long shot. It’s creative, gripping, and accessible with a ton of stuff to do and see. There are a few small issues, like some awkward writing or too much menuing, but those are well worth it for such a fun, polished experience.

    Unsighted arrives like a bomb in the metroidvania genre that has been delighting fans over the years. Presented and released quietly, the work of Pixel Punk is an excellent reflection on our planet in a mix of situations that works splendidly and surprise for balance and the ability to mix everything.
