    It’s been a while since I’ve played through a proper horror game and became so invested in the “villains” of the tale.

    A novel take on the first-person horror mould, Sylvio does, on occasion, bring some unsettling moments of paranormal investigation. Unfortunately Sylvio also brings dire, uninventive visuals, a dreary protagonist, and wholly unnecessary combat to nullify any promise it may have had.

    Sylvio probably sounds like an interesting little game on paper but its execution is flawed in pretty much every way. If it can even be classed as a horror game, it's probably the least scary and dullest one that I've ever played.

    A slow burn to boredom
    In Syllvio you play as ghost recorder Juliette waters investigating an abandoned park that was shut down after a landslide in 1971…
    And you spend the game finding evps to listen to their stories, how they died, their names, who they were with while simultaneously problem solving to move on through the 9 different locations
    It will take you anywhere from 6 to 12 hours getting through this game highly dependent on whether or not you care to find the evps and decode them…
    As you walk around the different areas there will be these black clouds of energy that you have to shoot with your potato gun... this gun is also used to knock objects down…
    After you shoot them you’re given clues and the locations of the items you need to progress the story…
    To decode these evps you have to play the audio in reverse or forward either at normal speeds, fast, or slow motion to get the full message if you care enough to do so…
    At first this is all fun and intriguing..
    Each location has its own story and mystery to uncover...
    But about halfway through the game all intrigue is gone…
    There aren’t enough scares and the gameplay doesn’t change up enough…
    It’s the same throughout... youre in this location... find the clouds, kill them, collect what you need, put them in the right spots.. rinse and repeat…
    The game opens with a very linear feel and I think the game would’ve benefitted with more moments like these sandwiched in between the locations rather than the car sections…
    I was spooked by the game at first… but as time went I got used to it
    It’s far too predictable…
    And that’s a shame because this is a really cool and creepy game..
    At least for a little while…
    I Give Sylvio
