This game blasted me away - don't listen to the bad reviews, most of them did not understand the game. Maybe you have to have made a special kind of experience to aknowledge and value the metaphor that is being told. It is an extremely deep, meaningful gaming experience, that transports an important message to all workaholics and career-fetishists. Additionally it is filled with humour, witty comments, smart cross-references to pop-culture and the gaming industry. If you like intellectual & philosophically challenging games like Ether One or Mindpath To Thalamus you definitly should give this title a try. Explore the details. Enjoy the weirdness. Wait for the mind fuck. I highly recommend this title, although I fear that not many gamers will have the patience to experience the whole master piece (which is a pity). Thank you Phosphor Games for an utterly interesting game! I hope that you took the moral of your game to your heart during the development of this title itself ;)

Gameplay 3/10 - Extremely dull, even mocks you at a few points at how repetitive and meaningless what you are doing is. Bad move. Story 4/10 - Delibrately evasive about the story for 95% of the game. Bland resolution that left me feeling like I had just wasted 3 hours. Game makes a point of mocking people for wasting time, then wastes a lot of yours. Characters 4/10 - Only one real character beyond the background cast. Only interesting interaction takes up around 10% of the game. Sound 5/10 - Average quality music, very repetitive. Sound effects are functional and not abrasive or intrusive but they don't really do anything interesting. World 6/10 - Only redeeming feature are the mildly interesting worlds, however 30 seconds of exploration of each means you have seen all that there is to see. Cost/time ratio: $15/3hrs = $5/hr Overall 4/10 - Not worth playing as it doesn't bring anything new or interesting to the table. Definately not worth the price tag.

This game is so weird, I have no Idea where to begin. Maybe I Should start with the bad things fisrt. So I had two cons about this game One, the optimization, Oh lord, the optimization is poor. My frame rate was terrible and I had to have my settings set to low the entire time, and I STILL had crap frames. It was terrible, but I paid the 15 dollars for it so, at first, I thought, ok lets just push through that and see what the game has to offer gameplay wise. My second and only other gripe with the game was that I would occasionally glitch through the floor when I would jump, so nothing to out of the ordinary there. As for the Pros, Well... The first time you wake up you're on your ship. Its a pretty self sustained looking palce....but you've just crash landed due to some unseen force, so the automated messages play thoughout the ship and have you walk through for your mission breifing. after that, once those doors open, things get weird, The good kind of weird. Throughout the fir...

I never write reviews, but this is a waste of time and money. Poor optimization, gameplay is dull, narative is interesting but completing the game in under 3 hrs. feels like they didn't even know where they were going with it. (alot of that time was troubleshooting the frame rate issue). Pass on this.

Played through this game today. It was a beautiful game with a fairly interesting story, although presented in a somewhat bizarre fashion. Sort of similar to Lifeless Planet in this regard. However, unlike Lifeless Planet, this game just kind of droned on. It took me a little less than three hours to complete, and I really wish it had taken about half that. It became a very boring affair going out to basically do the same things over and over with minor changes to your base in between. That actually kind of killed the immersion for me. As far as the actual gameplay, it was pretty smooth. It's an exploration game, so you really just move about, jumping and when available, using your jetpack to navigate alien planets. You will interact with your objectives, but mostly you just take in the visuals and listen to what also seemed like overly long dialogue. Now, I dont want to pan this too hard because it is evident that this game was a labor of love, and it definitely had its positives, ...

You control an astronaut waking up on a space station as a recorded voice wishes you good luck with your mission, after listening to a message from your family and your mission briefing you set on the planet while an hovering robot blurts out mission parameters and HR slogans. The aforementioned story doesn't have to be taken at face value though as Corpse of Discovery wants to use it as a metaphor: while the game has an interesting premise and some good moments its dull gameplay and ham-fisted narrative hold it back. [b]PROS:[/b] -the art style is pretty nice -good soundtrack and voice acting -the first levels are interesting -there's a good amount of dark and vitriolic humor that makes you both smile and think -some dialogues are pretty good and function as high points in the game [b]CONS:[/b] -graphics are a bit of a mixed bag, while the levels look from decent to nice the draw distance is bad and there's some noticeable graphical glitches, the framerate can also be dodgy a...

One of nowdays walking simulators wihout gameplay. They all trying to tell you a story, but most of them are fruit of graphomaniac's labour. This one particulary have no good visuals like "Vanishing of Ethan Canter", no interesting story, and gamplay is walking from one point to another.

After 2 hours I've seen the end. I think I've got about 70-80 % of the optional targets. The jump part of the game is mildly entertaining but no challange. The story is okay but has no surprises. The game is playable, beside a moment where the character got stuck in the ground I haven't found any bugs. All over all I've got a game with the length of a movie for the price of a movie. I think I'll choose the cinema next time.

The game can feel a little janky/laggy sometimes, and the controls a bit wonky however the procedurally generated worlds are incredibly fun to explore. If you got a couple hours to kill this game is a pretty good buy for its current price.

Short. Quickly uninteresting. Repetitive. I got this game not knowing anything anything about it. I was really excited for the first 15 minutes when I saw the impressive graphics of the living quarters. Then less and less excitement until I completed the game in about 3 hours feeling like I wasted time and money. I am fond of short games like Dear Ester, or To the Moon as long as they are thoughtful, rich and interesting. Corpse of Discovery isn't anything like that, however. The dialog is very contrived, cliche, and forced, nearly to the point of being irritating. Whoever wrote the dialog in this game I am pretty sure knew this because the game even teases you about its own repetitiveness. It almost feels like the game has gotten bored of itself. The gameplay mechanics consist of running and long jumping to points on the display. There are some floaty wrath creature things that do nothing but interfere with the running to the objective. On one level there is a radiation that dra...
