    Favourably in the price and playfully OK.
    Uncanny Valley is a total of one nice mediocre play for you PS4.
    The graphics are Old School
    The play principle very simple
    The tension keeps to a certain extent
    The horror effects dull fast from.
    But it costs only 12€.

    There was potential for something better, but right when I was starting to sink my teeth into it, the game ended, tossing me an inexplicable bad ending wherein a character that was hardly developed dismembered me. I knew going into this game that there would be multiple endings, but I didn't think any of them would come so soon.

I knew going into this game that there would be multiple endings, but I didn't think any of them would come so soon. I was thinking I could maybe start from where I left off rather than go through the mundanity of the game's opening, but NOPE. At the very least you'd think they'd drop you at a point where your decisions actually matter, but the game simply starts over and you have to go through the same unskippable opening credits and dialogue again.

    I played through it a few times, two of those times getting the same ending (though in one instance I didn't even interact with the featured character in my playthrough). Fortunately I got this game for free via PS+, but I can't imagine paying full price and getting upon what I got.    … Expand

    Uncanny Valley is both boring and fun. The game seems lengthy and there are too many endings to get. Tom runs as if he was Buck, which is about 5 seconds of sprinting before he is fully out of breath. If you do 1 thing wrong, you're all like "wait what?? whats happening? where am I?". Also, if you die, you go back to the very beginning. The game can be fun to kick time or if you'reUncanny Valley is both boring and fun. The game seems lengthy and there are too many endings to get.

I have played it and had to play it about 4 times until i eventually gave up, always coming to something I clearly shouldn't have.… Expand

    It's one of this game where you don't know what's going on and it's disturbing.

    A boring stealth game, made all the more annoying by Tom's bewilderingly poor fitness (four seconds of sprinting and he's knackered) and the worst gun in the history of games. It's rubbish. [Apr 2017, p.90]

    It's a crying shame that Uncanny Valley spends so much of its time crippling your play time with contrivances and strict time limits. Once you learn how to make progress, you'll enjoy a second half akin to what the entire game should have been, but then its endings get less memorable. Uncanny Valley wants to be an engaging survival horror romp, and sometimes it gets to be, but it's ultimately an experience that can be best described as mediocre.

    If the developers had been content to just play to the game’s strengths as an adventure game, Uncanny Valley could have been something really good. Sadly, the shoehorning in of dull “survival horror” pulls the rug out from under that potential.
