Cylne

The screenshots are "nicer" than the actual game... Most envirnments are just 3D shapes covered in stone textures and copy and pasted over and over again. Then you wander around amongst them in fog. Boring.... I love exploration games, but this one just doesn't have anything. When you appear in the environment, what you see is what you get, no matter how far you roam within it. Refund...

Very interesting premise! Great visuals and puzzles as well. The reward of this game (for me) comes from finally solving a puzzle and being able to proceed to the next beautiful realm. However it is definitely not for those with low patience or a sole desire to mindlessly kill things. WOuld certainly recommend to fans of surreal art, great atmosphere and definite challanges.

this is not a game. this is one of those interactive pieces of art that you get to have sitting on your desktop to look at while contemplating the deeper meaning of things.

This is not a game. Let me start by making that clear because the people who made it have no idea on how to make proper game desgin, infact i dont even think they care. This is what i can only describe as the most arrogant attempt at "art" You never do anything in the game, nothing really matters. There is no story at all and the people who made it i suspect barely know how to code. This isn't even so bad its good, it is just bad. And even worse, there are several times the game locks your movements because something is "happening" (som basic model with bumb mapping moves across the screen), During this you cannot do anything but sit there and wait. And the game is full of these episodes, It's as boring as it gets, stay away.

The idea behind Cylne is beautiful but except the soundtracks, this game made me feel nauseous. After playing it for about half an hour I ended up feeling frustrated and confused. The soundtrack is okay though, I believe that's the only thing I liked about this game. The game looks nothing like the screenshots, and it was extremely buggy on my end. Don't buy it, you'll end up refunding it.

The screenshots for this game made it looks a lot more visually attractive than it is in reality. I was looking forward to a mysterious atmosphere and a beautiful world to explore, but the poor quality graphics ruined the immersion. The strange swirling static around your field of view was quite nauseating.. and there was quite a lot of glitching and stuttering that made it unplayable in the end. I got a refund.

It would seem that I am lacking some obscure culture, esoteric education, or psycoactive drugs that would otherwise enable me to understand this "visual poetry". This game makes up in obscurity and obfuscation what it lacks in narative and direction. Not as colourful as The Witness, but way more pointless.

I did not like this game. I tried all 6 chapters, but I did not find any fun in it. I so much preferred Mind path to Thalamus as a surrealist game. The art in Cylne is interesting and beautiful, and the game might be qualified as a walking simulator, or an art project as it consists mostly of looking around a succession of surrealist 3D drawings. But in the end it felt more like experiencing a succession of dreams/nightmares, giving me nausea at some point. Here are the two main aspects of the game I did not like: - While walking around the 5 first chapters, the player experiences some permanent blurry vision (halo) on all sides of the screen, which worsens if you go in the wrong direction giving you the illusion of being sick, or hurt. In one of the chapters, I even got a complete black screen and did not know anymore in which direction to go back to, it was getting tedious so I just jumped to the next chapter. I love exploring, and taking screenshots of sceneries I like, but this aspect kind of killed it. I would have so much preferred hitting invisible walls instead of diminished vision, and having less or no fog and less light glares. I understand that this is part of the game, but it felt like looking at some landscape behind curtains, or without glasses. And I do not understand why this halo had to be on all the time. I did not see any way to disactivate this. - Also the game consisted mostly of walking around and moving to the right spot that will start a cutscene before accessing the next scene or activating some object. I don’t mind losing control of the camera for a bit, but here, it was just too much. Sometimes, I had only made three steps, and already I was activating something... At a point, it felt more like watching a film than being part of a game, killing the immersion… With a clearer vision, and more control of the game, this could have been a much more enjoyable game.
