Spirits of Xanadu

4.4 It's an okay game, it has a fair amount of neat little interactables and it certainly doesn't overstay it's welcome. The 'best' ending is a little obtuse to get along with some of the achievements being secrets and also things nobody would likely do. The narratively (along with the game as a whole) is very small and rather limited. It's fine if you want to spend maybe an hour on a short little sci-fi im-sim super-lite.

It good. It short.

This should be on roblox. Do yourself a favor and play dead space instead.

Spirits of Xanadu is a short and sweet simple game that plays like a very simplified System Shock 1. The atmosphere is surprisingly effective for the simplistic graphics, the attention to detail and environmental interactivity is very commendable, and there are a fair few secrets jam packed into the experience. It's a game that I feel I've thoroughly experienced (at just around 3 hours), so it's a very short experience. The first playthrough probably took me about an hour and a half, with subsequent playthroughs being much shorter. An enjoyable short experience that certainly reads like a simple love letter to the masterpieces of old. As long as you keep your expectations in check, I think fans of the first person immersive sim genre will be pleased.

Very atmospheric adventure game.

Very much a casual game due to not having any kind of resource management, as your health regenerates and you have infinite ammo. You can't really interact with much of the environment to solve problems, so it's not really an immersive sim if that's what you're wondering, although it does pays homage to games like System Shock among other things. Although it is very light in it's gameplay, there are still things you might expect in this type of game such as overall exploration and finding codes, reading documents and emails, crawling in vents, shooting things etc. So I do think it's worth a playthrough if you're a fan of 0451 games, especially on a sale.
