Sanguine Soul

Really neat game. Looks good and handles well, the voice acting could use some work xD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytWa5TeJxjA&feature=youtu.be

Very unique core gameplay loop in a neatly packaged game.

People, how are you not playing this game?! * It's free with NO micro transactions, it looks great, it plays great, it doesn't baby you, and it's FUN! I don't do/like FPS games and I still think it's awesome. (I did die a ton of times, as usual when I try to play FPS. T.T ) * There are three stages, I got to the beginning of the second area before I had to left-button dash outta there (there was a massacre happening- mine) to tell you all about this little gem of a game ...which is free. * So, what's not to like? You must have a controller to play (seriously, you don't own one already?) No cards or achievements, which means you would play it because you like to have fun? For free fun? Did I mention this game is free? Like a totally free good game? Just checking. :P

Behind the facade of graphical polish lies a game that managed to both annoy and bore me within 20 minutes due to ONE primary fire, a dash that doesn't properly work and three enemy types; one of which are intolerable little creatures that snipe you with their lasers from afar, with precise shots, dealing loads of damage. Now of course I could've trained to defeat all of them, but if a game has such limited scope and ambitions, with three, mostly two endlessly repeating, boring enemy types, some broken spawns or AI behaviour, a bland setting and embarassingly bad cutscenes, why should I even bother? 3/10

"Sanguine Soul" is, I am really hoping, a student project or something... which might go as some way to explaining why it's so bad. If it's not, then this is just an unmitigated disaster. If it is, well, we can just wonder if any of the students graduated. What do you do in the game? This is a first person shooter, a bad one, with limited attacks, busted dash mechanics, zero polish, cringe voice acting and annoying cutscenes, repetitive enemies with terrible AI... really there's no saving graces here apart from the game being a bit easy. I don't think it matters if a game is easy or hard if it's so badly made nobody wants to play it. The graphics aren't great, a bunch of mismatched looking (sometimes) low poly assets... it's a hectic and incongruous looking mess.. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. Insultingly, the developer insists that you should play this with a console peasant children's toy gamepad instead of KB+M. You cannot play this without a console peasant children's toy. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're designing games for. It's the responsibility of the developer to ensure the game runs well on the platform they're selling it on, with the primary peripherals that PC gamers use. This game is fairly dated at 5 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 3 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Since free games don't contribute to your game collector badge and other profile stuff, is this a worthwhile addition to your Steam library? I think you should give this one a miss. Although it's free, your time and storage are valuable resources, and the market is filled with superior options.
