If you like Bioshock and want to feel like you're kind of in that world, this game is for you
This game was good fun. I played on steam deck LCD at 720p medium settings with 70 percent res and it looks quite nice. The game had a great story and gameplay was fun as well. I did have a lot of full lockups where the game would freeze for multiple seconds and it did take away from the immersion a lot but other than that it was good. I would recommend 16gb ram though. I did also think the chases were too tight though as a single tiny mistake would be failure and it got a bit annoying. Overall 5/10 or without performance issues 7/10 W game and W devs.

Atmospheric story game which has a good visuals and art direction, interesting story, and decent voice acting. The performance was pretty bad on my Linux machine, which is impressive for a ~6 year old game, but that is just the Unreal Engine tax. The ending was very lackluster, felt like I only played half the story. Chase sequences are just dumb, you basically have to brute force the correct path on some chases.
I HATE the rating system of steam. Because it askes me if i would recommend a game, not if i liked a game. VERY important destinction. In this case. I have to say NO, i would not recommend this game. But i did like it. I hate the ending because it just leaves you with half a story. I went in at least expecting a full story. NOT HALF... No FoV changer or Keybindings or the like... Considering how many people made this game. One would expect someone to ask "Maybe we should add a FOV slider? Or something? All it shows is incompetence. Visually a lot of the moments and areas of the game was good looking. But the artifical way they make the game liner, felt like a detraction. I can jump, just not over this body or chair or broom handle... Right... 4/10 total score from me. Mediocre experience. With only half a story. Verdict/Conclusion: Watch a youtube playthrough, and save your money. Even if it's only half the story, stil still at least worth watching.
QReally decent game
Симулятор ходьбы нормального человека. Буквально все сделано грамотно, качественно и интересно. Игра попросту не ощущается обычным Симулятором ходьбы, а воспринимается именно как полноценное Приключение. Геймплей постоянно разбавляется головоломками, погонями, катсценами, записками проливающими свет на произошедшие события или классно отыгранными диалогами персонажей. Погружаться в атмосферу этакого теслапанка было безумно интересно. А вот сюжет это единственное что вызвало небольшие сомнения в проработке и качестве. Вроде все круто и интересно, вроде собрал все что только можно было и открыл все возможные тайны, а вопросов все равно осталось не мало. Словно планировалось большое ДЛС или даже полноценное продолжение, но почему-то ничего не случилось и история игры закончилось на запятой. Да даже открытый финал намекает что должно было быть продолжение, но к очень большому сожалению его нет. Close To The Sun - это великолепное приключение на пару вечеров, с уникальным антуражем и стилистикой отдающей первыми BioShock. Буквально первая же сцена первой главы заставляет с ностальгией вспомнить Восторг. И пусть это далеко не экшн, но и не стоит рассматривать игру как заурядный Симулятор ходьбы. Если вы любите интересные истории в играх, то обязательно дайте этой игре шанс. Однозначный лайк и полный спектр рекомендаций к покупке и прохождению!
