SIGNALIS

Absolute cinema (I am very sad now)

I want to make one thing clear, this is by no means a bad game, not close. All you'll be hearing is one guy's subjective opinion who understands this is a objectively good game. Now, I don't like RE type gameplay. Crow Country and the such, in terms of gameplay it's not for me, so safe to say that was very boring to me. Combat is.. weird, feels clunky at times. I'm being honest, avoid combat if you can, save bullets for bosses or when you are "tuning" and there's enemies on you while you're busy turning your radio for the worst tunes this world has to clear a room. I am super mixed on the puzzles here. Sometimes I have no idea what to do and that could be because I'm stupid so, skill issue. Some puzzles themselves were cool though. Onto stuff I liked, finally yeah? Art and art direction style all those things are mind blowing to say the least. Poly, full hand drawn animation, pixel art, and sometimes generally environment is a treat and a half. Story.. okay, obviously character driven and that's without saying. I.. did not feel attached to the characters. I felt for Elster and Ariane, but that's about it. As a love story, it's tragic and really does well with that, it's super interesting. No, it being yuri doesn't make it any better, sorry. I don't mean that rudely or anything, I'd only like written relationships for the good writing they have or could potentially have, and yknow they got it so that's what matters to me. It's just a shame I don't have personal attachment to them. Music is woo-ey and stuff and I like that here. (It's good okay idk what to add there, it fits and its gud) Part of me doesn't get what happened. Cycle stuff and such I get, promise and all that but I really don't have anything close to what you'll see the majority see in the game. It sucks because I can see something special here but it's just not for me. So, that's to say, I am not trying to say "don't get this game" Do, I am sure you'll love it, but it was soo not for me even though the concepts and all are so cool and interesting to me. I'd be willing to listen to a story explanation video though, that would be fun and I mean yeah it did interest me enough to get me to want that.

Lesbians in space! On a serious note this is something that did not bother me in this story and setting. I really enjoyed playing this game. It is a survival horror through and through. Your experience can be customized quite a bit - the way you control your character, the enemy difficulty and inventory management. I really like all the things that inspired this game so I knew what I was getting myself into. Although one cutscene in particular has like all of the references in the span of a couple of seconds. It copies an iconic scene from each individual point of inspiration. That is a bit on the nose compared to the rest of the experience that is a lot more subtle (most of the times?). Anyway the sound design is great, the art is great, the story is very interesting and it will let you interpret it the way you like. Although it hints on a certain ending to be cannon due to circumstances I consider a crucial part of the story and thus will not talk more about. This game gets better the more details you spot in the quick cut cutscenes. It actually expands on the background a lot. I do believe it is difficult to do so without going online and watching them again or recording , because it is insanely easy to miss stuff like this, Overall I really recommend this game to anyone looking for a good horror story, likes survival horror, enjoyes works of David Lynch, swears by Evangelion or Ghost in the Shell or has read the King in Yellow.
