Automaton Heart

A surreal jaunt into worlds familiar and unknown

Full Review: https://youtu.be/2ladyaBDuO8 TL;DW I'm conflicted about this game, it's a step up in world complexity, world building, and mechanics from the original however, the new mechanics and world size feel unjustified. It's still a fascinating world to explore and discover and I hope to see more, but the whole experience feels more shallow than the predecessor.

This game ignites my wanderlust like no other. Large open spaces, fascinating sights, and otherworldly atmosphere fuel this game's strange engine. There are secrets abound, and the world waits patiently for the intrepid adventurer to find and uncover them. Exploration is simultaneously task, incentive, and reward in a way few other open world games achieve. For that and more, Automaton Heart stands out as an inimitable experience, one which I will not forget any time soon.

Game is just as beautiful as the first and really fun ++

Do not play this game sober Play under any influence and its 10x better GOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sim, um completo Sim! Estava esperando encontrar alguma coisa especifica e de gosto duvidoso, assim como Garage bad dream adventure, Picayune dreams (Vampire survivors se fosse bom), Pathologic, esse sim é muito bom. Recomendo jogar o anterior pois eles estão interligados. Me sinto um alienígena jogando esse jogo e ele cheira a um vaporwave estranho

This is immediately incredible.

At first, I was a little apprehensive when I found out Heart was going to be an RPG (having played Automaton Lung a lot, and generally not being a fan of RPGs), but Automaton Heart absolutely nails the balancing act involved in Action RPGs. It offers fleshed out combat play in a large and fun to explore open world, while still delivering the Luke Vincent brand weirdness a lot of this dev's fans have come to love. I got to the game's ending after about 8 hours of gameplay, and this is without exploring all of the areas. The map is [b]huge[/b], there are plenty of side areas completely detached from the main quest, so I'd say you get plenty of game for how much you're spending here. Obviously I still have my own little gripes with the game, I think the day-night cycle was slightly annoying and didn't completely understand character abilities. I also agree with what some other reviewers are saying that moving around the overworld could do with being faster, and I also think the game's weakest portion is its first ~30 minutes, but I wholeheartedly recommend the game to anybody who's a fan of Luke Vincent's work or niche indie titles in general. Also see attached PC Specs: If you've played Luke Vincent's previous games, this one might be a bit tougher to run. It does come alongside enough video options to get it to work (at least in my case, you can see how bad my specs are and I still enjoyed it lol), so if you're playing on a potato like me I wouldn't worry [i]too[/i] much

Vast landscapes and faded memories There's a barren digital vibe to this that reminds me a ton of proswell albums and is utterly entrancing to explore. It reminded me of how I've stumbled into these hidden and unknown games from my childhood that take on these whole new feelings of emptiness and intrigue. Excellent game if you like wandering through mysterious, atmospheric worlds with a 2000s aesthetic and some light gameplay to keep it all engaging. One of my favorite games of the year.

I don't like reviewing games until I'm completely done with them, but I really want more people to check this one out. One of the coolest games I've played in a while and I feel like I've only just scratched the surface. Such a neat open world to explore with actual worthwhile stuff to discover in it. Very awesome game with a very awesome vibe (:
