Gloomwood

Joguei demo desse jogo tempos atrás, quando ele estava bem no início, e já tinha tido uma boa impressão. Peguei ele agora recentemente (março/2026) na última promoção de jogos da New Blood, e dei mais uma pegada para ver como estava. Manja aquilo que dizem que a "salvação" do mundo gamer pode estar nos indies? Então, isso é real. Este jogo é o fino do fino do immersive sym, stealth, exploração, e várias coisas mais. É sinistro demais. Esteja preparado, pois a pegada é brabíssima.

Ignore all the comparisons, this game is amazing in its own right. Gloomwood has the patina of an old game but it looks and plays way better. The controls are tight and everything has a handcrafted feeling. The lighting works very well with the game mechanics, from sneaking to puzzles it is all brilliantly used. Everything feels dialed-in, controller functions impressively well on this game, never experienced glitches or cheap enemies, every time I was caught or killed felt fair, never had any problems mantling. The brightness calibration lets you calibrate brightness, contrast, and gamma; as a result every object contrasts with every other object giving atmosphere and depth. The world feels organic and lived-in The difficulty curve feels good across the areas, enemies get trickier and often subvert you in unexpected ways. Each difficulty mode feels appropriate and there are nice visual differences as well This game had me staying up too late, thinking about it when Im doing other things, and even dreaming about it. So much fun to speed run!

Well-made game, but has the same issue as most stealth games where you have no idea why someone saw/heard you, and suddenly you're dead. I didn't get very far at all in this games because it was so frustrating right off the bat.

Genuinely one of the best games I have played. There was a few bugs I came across but nothing major and they are to be expected from an early access game. Can't wait for more content to be added. 10/10

Практически взахлёб, я прошёл всё до хайтауна (огромное спасибо за ту самую отсылку с банкой разработчикам). Честно говоря я очень боюсь хорроров, особенно одиночных, начинал не смотря что там вообще может быть по трейлерам, практически в слепую доверился тому что издатель игры New Blood и не имея опыта ни в Resident Evil, ни в каких либо страшилках, думал, что это обычный Thief, зашёл и начал проходить. В общем, много чего можно сказать, игра очень классная, жалко что за 4 года пока так мало. Особенно удивило огромное количество способов прохождения. Очень жду полного выхода игры.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the first level is abysmal, think i gave this game like 4 different attempts and its just so primitive

I will leave the cat here, so that everybody who passes by can pet it and give it a thumbs up and awards 　　　 　　／＞　　フ 　　　 　　| 　_　 _ l 　 　　 　／` ミ＿xノ 　　 　 /　　　 　 | 　　　 /　 ヽ　　 ﾉ 　 　 │　　|　|　| 　／￣|　　 |　|　| 　| (￣ヽ＿_ヽ_)__) 　＼二つ

I recommend this game when it's finished, but I'm not gonna lie as a reviewer, this game is very bare bones as of now and the game has still a long way to go to get to an state where I can confidently say that is worth the buy. It is impressive as an indie immersive sim; it manages great feats as map traversal and an infinity of choices on how you want to progress, but that's where it goes, it is more an excellent proof of concept rather than an actual game. The ugliness of the game cannot be understated, for models and animations are really noticeable in the first minutes on the game, but for most people playing this types of game shouldn't be a problem. There's a big problem with the game at this moment that should be solved with urgency, there's no reason for the player to play smart, no reason to sneak and no reason to hoard resources. Unless you're doing a speedrun, the game does not really give you a reason not to kill everyone you see guns blazing everywhere you go, there's no reward for killing or not killing your enemies so it ends up being just a choice of how difficult you want to make your playthrough so that you can enjoy it. My veredict for this game: Wait for it to get very cheap or until release.

As an early adopter of this game and after playing through many updates with new zones each time i can say it really scratches an itch of a stealth game with inventory management style game. Each zone is unique and has depth with lots of routes and layers built on top of each other. The story is still developing and feels like it does still have a way to go but coming back every few updates has been fun as the gameplay has been refined. Its like a modern day thief game but with some guns and utility tossed in for good measure. I love the utility gun that can put out fire and shoot out light bulbs. Great immersion especially in the sewer sections and just worth your money. I like how they put in the research update that puts a twist to the gameplay loop that allows you to make potions that can turn you into different beasts and enemies of the game. If the developer reads this, my only gripe with the system (from a hoarder perspective cuz i horde a LOT in these games) is that its hard to take a huge torso to bring back to the research station among other body parts because i have to drop all my gear just in order to take body parts. Maybe if there was a separate bag that could carry some parts would help me utilize the system more than i have in my playthroughs. But even if not, it doesn't hinder the experience the game already provides. Keep up the good work and support these hard working devs! Cant wait to play the full product one day!
