    The game's greatest strength is definitely its brilliant wordless narrative, where you piece together the fate of a dead civilization and the creature you play as in your head. Scorn is an experience that any fan of oppressive atmospheres and rotting flesh should not miss. [Issue#323]

    Scorn, with its mix of puzzles, horror, monsters and exploration, is a unique and alienating experience that you'll love or hate.

    We know it sounds cliche, but Scorn is not a game for everyone. It has plenty of issues, but if it clicks with you, you’ll certainly enjoy it.

    Scorn isn’t for everyone. Gameplay lacks depth and it is definitely on the short side. But none of that matters once you take in the incredible art direction and haunting atmosphere. Scorn may not be a great game at times, but as far as experiences go, this is a most memorable one.

    It's great that the creative vision of the developer is out there in the world of Scorn. The bold choice of not having any hints about what to do and no leading narrative is a courageous one; one that I applaud. What lets Scorn down though is the fact that the puzzles aren't that inspiring, a bit too bland.

    Scorn it’s a f***ing ugly game. And at the same time, it’s really f***ing beautiful. Maybe one of a kind.

    Trap... that's actually the perfect word...So much about Scorn feels like a trap. It’s designed to cost you progress, to waste your time, and some might think this burdensome despair is some sort of brilliance on the part of the developers. To someone who values their finite time on Earth, it’s snide crap that shows contempt for its audience at every opportunity...I have nothing but contempt for it in turn.

I think this game really nailed it withI’m not a huge fan of puzzle games but this one keeps me interested with its dark mysterious world. I think this game really nailed it with the survival parts it feels like I’m always down to my last bar after every act and low on ammo. The way the world moves and how the puzzles and reloading your weapons look are amazing to me. Using guides will help you enjoy this game more if you get stuck.… Expand

    This game is bizarre, fresh and interesting. The only down side is the game is too short and can be beaten in less than 3-4 hours.

    Great aesthetic and cool puzzles paired with awful, broken combat that breaks the game.
