Shiny / Sounds

V- 

  • It looks fantastic but suffers from the Double Fine herky jerk (everything on 11)

  • The random grunts get OLD with a quickness. I LOATHE filthy stink creature human contact but no voices ..ever.

J-

  • Got some of the herky jerk on the steambox and on the nvidia powered laptop

P-

  • I’m the one with the calculator and I didn’t suffer from any of the herky-jerks XD

  • Doesn’t get the perfect score because of the sound effects and background music get a bit repetitious

Control

V- 

  • Does not work with my Logitech Precision gamepad. This is NOT an engaging FPS. Would rather a sit back experience.

  • Camera points tits up after every, fkn, cutscene.

J-

  • Only really tried the keyboard.   The control scheme is a bit weird at first, but you get used to it.   Dinging it a chair for that

P-

  • Mouse and keyboard work perfectly

  • even on those few timed puzzles I ran into, the controls were responsive.

  • Didn’t have Venn’s issue with the cutscenes


Total-


FUN

V- 

  • Sooo (cutscene) many (cutscene) hints (cutscene) tips (cutscene) and tricks.

  • Did I mention the cutscenes?

  • cutscenes

J-

  • There are a hell of a lot of cut scenes.   So many cutscenes….

  • The game has a very interesting concept, I think its pretty cool, but I ain’t all that entertaining

P-

  • I love that it has multiple solutions for each of the puzzles

  • It’s one of the best looking Linux native games out there. (Until Crysis comes along)

  • does have a lot of cutscenes

  • and it has a “Hold my hand” mode when you push the Spacebar – lest you get lost.
