A Story of Distress

Fun game where you can unleash your rage on innocent people by shoving a dagger anywhere you'd like. Satisfying combat and a pleasing look. The developers care about this game and it shows, but I still think 29.99 is a bit too high.

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers. Spoiler-free Review. [/h1] This game has so much wasted potential. I originally saw this game when it was priced at $24.99 and I was tempted but I figured I'd wait for some reviews before splurging. A little while later I see the game has dropped in price to $9.99, but I'm seeing the negative reviews. Then a few days later the Steam Summer Sale starts and it's down to $6.99. Is this game worth it? Sure. As long as you keep your expectations low. I finished the whole game in 2.6 hours. It starts out with a very good opening narrative scene. It also has an okay ending. Unfortunately, there is little narrative in between. It's really either kill the guards or avoid detection. I, of course, decided to kill everything in my path. The practice of law will leave you with that inner silent rage that ... well, I digress. Long story short, I enjoy backstabbing stuff. However, the core combat stealth mechanic is just not very interes...

A really cool concept but executed poorly for VR. the graphics although meant to be blocky are just awful even on the highest setting. the story is plain and simple but due to bad execution of the stealth mechanic it really throughs off the stealthness. the bow is awful and has a big hit box so even if you shoot around a corner it can still hit the corner. the begining has the length of the skyrim opeing cutscene. the dialouge fits in poorly with the mood and character voices a really odd. there is a loud sound that plays when you put away your blade and gets anoying after a while. in the eggining segments where you kill people it seems odd that you cant blend in. one mechanic taht is good is the climbing but just get climbey if you like that sort of thing. Not a good game, not worth thirty dollars, 10 dollars at most.

[h1]Played with Windows Mixed Reality (Acer)[/h1] [b]Pro:[/b] [list] [*] decent art style [*] adequate game length (2.5-3 hrs) [*] German translation [*] smooth locomotion [*] save points are well spread, you can easily stop every ~10 min [/list] [b]Con:[/b] [list] [*] stupid guards - AI is non-existent [*] aiming with the bow is rather a game of luck (at least with WMR) [/list] I've enjoyed the three hours of game play the devs even prepared a beta for me to run on WMR headsets - which they (currently( don't have themselves. Therefore I had to use the touchpad for locomotion, so WMR users should be aware that they can't use their thumb sticks. The game tries to walk in foot steps of Shadwen but does not really achieve that goal. Still, the art style and the sneaking gives enough entertainment for the few hours. The current price tag of EUR 8 is adequate.

There's more to this than meets the eye. I promise! Pros: 1) Story - It may seem standard and predictable it first glance, but if you really think about it the developers attention to detail is actually quite impressive. I won't say more because of spoilers but I'll make a post in the discussion section for anyone wondering what I'm talking about. 2) Play your way - I won't try to say that this is the Undertale of VR because I don't need that kind of drama in my life thank you very much. However, I think everyone can agree that there are thematic similarities. Did you kill every guard? Did you kill civilians? What about the rats and chickens? And of course the biggest question... did you stop to play the lute????? 3) Length vs Price - I'll fully admit that I kind of speed ran my first playthrough simply because I really wanted to see how the story progressed. That took me a little more than two hours. That being said I also fully intend to replay the game at least once, maybe twice, b...

This game regularly crashes & is not of the quality expected for the money paid $10USD. I didn't find this fun & only persisted because I wanted to give the game a chance to get better. It was short but the ending was terrible. So bad that it just made all the experiences in the game no worth it. The constant glitches, issues with enemies, glitches with weapons. The list goes on. This game is more like an early access beta. It's not a finished title and shouldn't be classed as one. The devs need about 6-12 months more work to fix all the bugs and they definitely need to rewrite the ending. It was so bad & not a reward for finishing it. Highly NOT recommended.

This game sucks.. nothing more to say. Don't waste your money, the trailer makes it look like a lot of fun, but it's horribly made, don't even buy this on a sale.

Kind of Janky. Doesn't feel good. Looks great and the voice acting is good, but the stealth lets it down, with AIs having no turning animations. You are sneaking up on them and then they are facing you in a flash.
