    Unknown Fate on Xbox One is a mixed bag. I love the concept, the world, and the experience that really has compelled me to keep playing. On the other hand, the control system and the game-stopping bugs have ruined things multiple times; thankfully the overall experience has a strong enough lure to make you want to go back.

The presentation side is extremely vivid, crisp, and the art style very unique as is the immersive sound. It also provides a mysterious story which brings you in tune with the game events that unfold before you. The problem is that the gameplay feels unfinished and doesn’t help the immersion and instead it hinders you. The puzzles the game offers are solid although easily forgotten because after the puzzles there’s little else present as the enemies you battle in combat is a dull experience combined by lack of depth in the gameplay doesn’t bring enough to the table. I never felt in full control which did throw up a few frustrating moments so, Unknown Fate is basically a mix of good and not so good. It gets about half wrong and about half right. It is a beautiful and unique adventure which give it a bit extra on top of that. I truly feel its biggest weakness is that it was originally a VR title as I stated early on, and it struggled in transition to reality. I will say this in closing I did find the twisted-ness of the game speak clearly to me which I did in fact quite enjoy.… Full Review »
