    Unsighted combines some very familiar ideas: it’s a top-down, roguelite, sci-fi Metroidvania with a strong 16-bit aesthetic. Its time-is-ticking, post-apocalyptic scenario is brought to life by the enchanting palettes of its pixel art, making a world you want to explore, full of characters you want to know. Far from punishing, it leans more on the 'lite' than the 'rogue', letting fun prevail – as it will, thanks to the addictive rhythm of the controls, backed by punchy sounds. The cooperative multiplayer is icing on top of an already well-iced cake. Combining flavours of Super Nintendo classics with modern playability, Unsighted is the game 1995 desperately wanted to make but just didn’t know how.

    Unsighted hooked me thanks to its fascinating world, awesome combat, and a doomsday clock that enriches the adventure. It’s one of my favorite surprises of the year because my actions made a genuine impact on the world, and they didn’t always pan out the way I hoped. Though I lost friends along the way, my desire to see this exceptional adventure to its end only grew with each passing hour.

    Unsighted is an ambitious action RPG. The combat and exploration are thoroughly rewarding. However, the time limit and stamina meter are a bit grating.

    Overall, UNSIGHTED is a game that I hope doesn’t fall into the “hidden gem” category. For the simple reason that it is a gem that should not be hidden and needs to be in the line of sight (get it?) of as many gamers as possible. Despite the stress of the lifespan gimmick, this unique element is what will keep you on your toes and panicking, worrying but ultimately loving your time as Alma. The narrative is beautiful, and characters are all full of life and loveable, making for a gaming journey that you will genuinely care about.

    Estou gostando muito, um dos melhores se não o melhor jogo que joguei esse ano. Impecável. Controles bons, a mecânica do combate excelente. ÉEstou gostando muito, um dos melhores se não o melhor jogo que joguei esse ano. Impecável. Controles bons, a mecânica do combate excelente. É bem desafiadora pois é bem focada no parry. Mas o jogo é bem claro com quando os inimigos vão atacar e tem uma janela de parry ok, que nem facilita muito, mas não é impossível. Achei a dinâmica de passagem de tempo muito legal. Apesar de entender pessoas que possam ter muita ansiedade e ficarem incomodadas, acredito que uma das coisas mais legais do jogo é a tensão de não poder perder uma boss fight com medo de acabar perdendo um morador da vila, fazer dar tempo tudo e etc. Achei que tem muitos sistemas. Mas como eles não são obrigatórios, então é tranquilo. Parabéns para a equipe.… Expand

    Unsighted is interesting to me, in part because at just a casual glance, or even just a very short play session, I believe people willUnsighted is interesting to me, in part because at just a casual glance, or even just a very short play session, I believe people will severely underestimate its ambition and execution. Its look and play style can certainly feel familiar, but it is the sheer volume of features and surprising elements the game brings to the table that help it stand very much on its own. Mixing a sense of open-world-ish adventure (you can tackle “dungeons” in any order you wish, and even choose your own moral path), challenging and rewarding technical combat (really gotta master the parry and counter), and a ton of ways to enhance your character with perks, gear, and even accessibility options to tone down the difficulty in a variety of ways, there’s no question of the effort that has been put in to making this satisfying for everyone. Once you’re a few hours in, and your true adventure is underway, you’ll find that the phase where you’re comparing it to other titles has passed and you’ll be immersed in this distinct world which is full of surprises and challenges. It’s a wonderful surprise, simultaneously familiar but undoubtedly unique at the same time.
