    2 hours of no thank you.
    I’m just going to get it out of the way. Grey Skies is near awful, I feel bad saying that because its clear this games studio tried.. there was effort put into this game and I appreciate that… theres a great soundtrack, you can tell they try really hard to be cinematic, but it just never hits.. this 2 hour horror stealth    Grey Skies: A War of the Worlds Story

    Grey Skies is near awful, I feel bad saying that because its clear this games studio tried.. there was effort put into this game and I appreciate that… theres a great soundtrack, you can tell they try really hard to be cinematic, but it just never hits.. this 2 hour horror stealth game starts with you completing a grocery list.. cereal, toilet paper, and milk.. luckily for you youre in a ps2 era open wolrd grocery store and those are the only 3 things it sells!
    have fun running around the shelves looking for the square button rather than toilet paper or cereal… after that is out of the way, boom, plane crash, super drawn out cinematic moment where youre slowly walking while a nice little song plays.. caught my attention, had my hopes up.. get thrown into some little farm area, figure out how to escape.. and then the game turns into horror stealth, enemies are introduced, you sneak around and find items needed to progress, the typical horror stealth stuff, and this is when the game just starts to fall apart.. cafting, using items to distract, and pulling out your flashlight.. these are the things you can do in this game, and the controls are so unintuitive that of coruse id be constantly turning on my flashlight when I mean to throw an item to distract an enemy leaing to a chase sequence.. and checkpoints in this game are absolutely awful, they essentially don’t exist anywhere within the chapters.. so failing right towards the end of one frustratingly has you doing the whole thin all over again, and really, It just becomes unbearable…
    Grey skies has its moments of okay this could be worth playing, but ultimately its more annoying that it is good, theres nothing here youre missing out on by staying away

    What happens if you mix all the defects of The Last of Us, Resident Evil & Tomb Raider? Grey Skies! This derivative, soulless "game" just does everything wrong: the gameplay is borderline broken, with a character control that will frustrate Buddha himself; stealth AI mechanics that don't obey the same laws 2 times in a row (encouraging to just run by everybody and get on with it); unclearWhat happens if you mix all the defects of The Last of Us, Resident Evil & Tomb Raider?

This derivative, soulless "game" just does everything wrong: the gameplay is borderline broken, with a character control that will frustrate Buddha himself; stealth AI mechanics that don't obey the same laws 2 times in a row (encouraging to just run by everybody and get on with it); unclear mission objectives throughout the whole game ("look around" is not a **** objective, pricks); absolute lack of lighting - which makes you play in the dark 80% of the game, with a torch that shakes like a crazy horse; bugs here, there, and everywhere; a severe pacing problem (various boring walk-only segments that last about 5 mins each); and issues, issues, and more issues!

    This is an unacceptable game by any 2020 standards, and for any piece of software altogether. While the graphics may be the only positive point (not great, but some decent scenarios), gameplay wise, this is a PS2 era, mediocre & uncreative game that shows nothing that's been done before 100 times better. My favorite part: where you die 50+ times in a single action scene that only lasts 2 minutes and actually requires you to be precision-perfect, just because of broken, clunky controls.

    There's no fun to be had here at all. Simply a NO GO, and a waste of your money and time.    … Expand
