крутая игра + вайб ставлю лайк
Игра 'Scyla' – это захватывающий платформер с элементами головоломок, погружающий в мрачный и атмосферный мир. Сюжетная линия, хоть и не отличается особой оригинальностью (спасение мира от древнего зла), цепляет своей подачей и колоритными персонажами. Главная героиня, Сцила, обладает уникальными способностями, которые игрок должен умело использовать для преодоления препятствий и решения задач. Графическое исполнение выполнено в приятном пиксель-арте, создающем неповторимую атмосферу старой школы. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет визуальный стиль и держит в напряжении на протяжении всего прохождения. Геймплей достаточно сложный, требующий от игрока внимательности и точности. Управление отзывчивое, но иногда может показаться немного неуклюжим, особенно в динамичных сценах. Однако, это не портит общего впечатления от игры, а лишь добавляет ей определенный шарм. В целом, 'Scyla' – это качественный и увлекательный платформер, который обязательно придется по вкусу любителям жанра. Рекомендую всем, кто ищет интересную и сложную игру с красивой графикой и атмосферным саундтреком.

"Scyla" is a badly made student project (I think) where you control a submarine on an octopus. It's one of those games where the developers dug up the corpse of HP Lovecraft to spit on it. I can't think of any work in the public domain that's been more abused by "developers" than that. What do you do in the game? If you can get past all the bugs, you move around an underwater narrative with an octopus on your head. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 2 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.
While it is rough around the edges, I found Scyla to be enjoyable enough to recommend if you are limited with budget (FREE) and time (~30 mins). The game is typically better played with controller, but at times I found mouse and keyboard superior for aiming the grapple hook. Save points are very forgiving, which is good because there are times where I would die repeatedly from enemies or hazards. As you play the game, you unlock upgrades (like grapple hook) and fight about 3 or 4 different types of enemies. Navigation is linear and the music never played - which are basically the 2 biggest issues I had with the game. There isn't any lore or backstory either, but given the game is short and meant to be a student / early developer project I won't fault them too hard. Graphics are nice and game ran without any major bugs. Overall, it is not the worst way to spend half an hour on a game to pass the time, but you aren't missing anything by not playing it either.
