    Dark Grim Mariupolis is a Piont-And-Click Puzzle game. Okay... I don't... Where to even try to start... The entire game just feels irreverent.

Where to even try to start... The entire game just feels irreverent. Playing this game is like trying to have a philosophical conversation with the Cheshire Cat, and the Caterpillar From Alice in Wonderland. The world you're in is a Robotic, Norse, Roman, 40's and you're the Private eye that leans against whatever is convenient to muse poetic about how the situation is all messed up. Gameplay does consist of your standard mundane fetch quest/item combining missions. You can't seem to use an item directly, you have to "hold" it and interact, but that's more of a personal annoyance than a real issue. But the rest of the game... The dialogue felt like it was both mis-translated and super surrealist simultaneously, creating text that I'd have rather skipped, and some of it should have as it had nothing to do with anything, and sometimes felt endless. The puzzles have no direction, or instruction, and trial and error is several minutes of aggravating failure and pixel hunting with a not so happy eureka moment that's stifled by the frustration. The world itself actually has potential, and feels intriguing, but is ruined by the dialogue and gameplay. Expand

    Dark Grim Mariupolis on Xbox One feels like it’s been left on the shelf since the ‘80s. It looks and feels, at least initially, like a lost C64 point-and-click classic, but the tape on the cassette has deteriorated, making the game almost unplayable. Dialogue is meandering and surreal, and the puzzles have eroded to become a sequence of unrelated interactions. At least it’s only a couple of hours long, as the surrealist noise soon gets to boiling your brain.
