It's a nice enough little 10 minute long experience. It doesn't need to be more than that but still, seeing some gameplay would've been great. Hope to see more spookies in the future.
Игра рассказывает о... О чём? Может она что-то пытается донести? Никто не достоин оживить дорогого ему человека? Признаться, что ты такой же грешный как и все? Это абстрагированный рассказ об инциденте связанный с эзотерикою? Просто странная сказка? А может... А может это бред школьника с синдромом восьмиклассника и я слишком глубоко копаю
So absolute is the psychological horror element in this game
Норм наверное
I’m not taking a side on Absolution. Steam really needs a third option for games that hover in the “meh” zone. The art is nifty. The story is interesting but feels like it’s still waiting to be. There is certainly more room for developmental possibility. There are some wondrous, little notes and phrases inside the game. That being said, the text layout itself was rough on my eyes in a way that pulled me out of the moments. It is very short so I’ll run through it a few more times to see if anything is new, but for now it sits in strange neutrality. “All I know is my gut says, ‘Maybe.’” -The Neutral President, Futurama
Игра "Absolution" – это настоящий подарок для ценителей стелс-экшенов. В ней разработчики сумели найти идеальный баланс между напряженным геймплеем и глубокой, проработанной историей. Каждый уровень – это хитросплетенная головоломка, где нужно продумывать каждый шаг, использовать окружение и, конечно же, фирменные гаджеты Агента 47. Атмосфера игры просто завораживает: от солнечных улиц Барселоны до мрачных Российских просторов. Убийства выполнены с изяществом и кровавой элегантностью, что позволяет почувствовать себя настоящим ассасином. Сюжет, хоть и местами предсказуем, держит в напряжении до самого конца, а персонажи, даже второстепенные, обладают своим характером. "Absolution" – это игра, которая заставляет думать, планировать и наслаждаться каждым моментом, проведенным в шкуре одного из самых известных киллеров в мире.
*SPOILERS* Pretty interesting, if I had any advice for the dev it would be to add a choice system and indicator at the end that shows you where the questions led you
