Gloomy Eyes is developed by several studios but it has a Latino soul, since the directors are Argentinean. First things first: a spooky-cute, striking, and very atmospheric aesthetic, clearly inspired by Tim Burton. At times it feels like a mix between an animated film and a diorama that has come to life, especially thanks to the excellent character designs and the cartoonish animations. What is it? A single-player “co-op” platformer and puzzle game. You control two characters, each with complementary abilities, to solve levels—but using a single controller. There’s a sweet story narrated by Colin Farrell, about a zombie boy whom everyone hates for being unnatural, until a girl shows him that yes, someone can love him just the way he is. Together, they set out on an adventure to recover the lost sun and put an end to this nightmare of a world plunged into darkness, where humans and zombies are in constant conflict. Gameplay focuses on solving levels by using the abilities of both characters to reach the end. Gloomy is vulnerable to artificial light, but he can throw or push objects and is immune to other zombies. Lena, on the other hand, is in danger around zombies, but she can jump and activate artifacts, and she’s immune to artificial light. The narrative takes you through several locations, ranging from Gloomy’s graveyard and Lena’s house, to a forest with cultists, a deserted island, a circus, and a haunted house. In each level, you have to switch between Gloomy and Lena to solve puzzles, cover each other’s weaknesses, and open the path so both can reach the goal. Although my experience with Gloomy Eyes was good, it does have some technical issues. Sometimes there isn’t enough visual clarity about what to do or what to grab, which can make you waste time. Other times the camera gets stuck or shifts into awkward angles that make it hard to see properly, and the zoom—while necessary—is fairly clumsy. Still, it’s a solid short experience of around four hours, with a sweet message, a lovely story, and simple gameplay. It’s perfect for playing in short sessions without stressing out, or alongside someone else who can help you solve the puzzles. I would have liked the game to offer true co-op, but overall I liked it—thumbs up.
I love the art style, the levels, and the story. Such a beautiful game.
It's a relatively easy game, with a cute little story to back it up. Graphics are nice. It's one of my all-time favorites, because it's not the same old tale of us versus killer zombies. There is some very minor violence, but no blood and gore. Highly recommend, if you want a relaxing, easy (maybe too easy) game, but that's what I like about it.
why doesnt cloud save work between Mac/SteamDeck?
https://legeekparesseux.fr/test-gaming/gloomy-eyes Je suis une grande fan des œuvres de Tim Burton (Les Noces Funèbres restent, pour moi, un incontournable) et Gloomy Eyes réussit parfaitement à nous rappeler cet univers si particulier. On y retrouve ce mélange de macabre et de poésie propre à Burton, mais transposé dans un univers original. Chaque personnage, chaque décor, chaque éclairage respire cette atmosphère étrange, touchante et légèrement inquiétante, tout en proposant une expérience unique qui ne se contente pas de copier le maître. Le jeu se distingue par son design unique, avec des décors en 3D très soignés qui créent une ambiance à la fois sombre et poétique. Le scénario, simple en apparence, touche le joueur en explorant la peur, la solitude et la complicité naissante entre Gloomy et Nena. On devine qu’ils vont tomber amoureux, mais malgré cela, on prend plaisir à découvrir leur relation, fragile et pleine de différences et c’est ce qui la rend si belle. Les énigmes sont intelligentes et variées : certaines demandent réflexion et observation, d’autres rapidité et coordination entre les deux personnages. Elles représentent un véritable défi, peut-être un peu trop pour les débutants, surtout en l’absence d’indices, mais il faut s’accrocher car le jeu en vaut largement la peine. On se prend très vite au jeu, dans cette nuit éternelle peuplée de lumières vacillantes et de secrets à découvrir. L’univers de Gloomy Eyes est à la fois inquiétant et fascinant, et l’on se surprend à sourire, à frissonner et à ressentir une réelle empathie pour les personnages. Que ce soit pour le design, le gameplay ou l’histoire, c’est une expérience que je recommande vivement, autant aux amateurs de mondes sombres et poétiques qu’aux curieux en quête d’un jeu véritablement original.
Qué gusto cuando se hacen juegos con cariño. No es muy largo ni muy difícil, pero es de esos juegos que te dejan muy buen sabor de boca.
Es un buen juego, no es muy largo pero es entretenido.
虽然模型是小僵尸,但是充满了天真无邪,非常可爱且有爱的一部游戏,跨越种族的友情,解谜难度不简单但也不是非常难,很治愈,音乐尤其是马戏团那边的音乐做的非常的欢乐悦耳
