Beyond The Underworld

Pretty cute game, but I honestly wouldn't say it's worth £10+. This is another one of those instances where I wish Steam had a "mid" option, tbh. The good: - Beautiful Aesthetics - Beautiful OST Mid: - Not really much to the gameplay, it's basically just walk around and interact with stuff. Though I guess the positives make up for it (hence why I'm not putting this in negatives). The Bad: - After exiting out of settings and the pause menu during gameplay, it for some reason would not go away and had to reset the level, which kinda sucked. - The jump feels like something straight out of a cheap game, no offense. - I swear the resolution changes after starting the game up from the main menu (as in, it looked like 1280x720 on the mm, then changed to 1920x1080 for the gameplay). Text ended up going off-screen because of this, since I have a 1400x900 monitor (and there's not even an option for that resolution). - During the first part of the Petal Valley level, the camera loved to ...

Ok £0.79p. So I played 2h of Beyond The Underworld, for me it felt like an exploration experience, the kind of genre you want to buy for the way it makes you feel while playing. Obviously if you only focus on the bad things you won't have a nice experience. Of course a lot can be improved but if you forget about it, listen to the music and appreciate the colourful environments then its totally worth it. Sometimes being imperfect is what makes it perfect. I personally didn't encounter any bugs but I did end up falling off the map but it was my fault xD, my curiosity pushed me to go off route to look what was behind a mountain. This is just my personal opinion but I think the fact that the...
