Outside of its mostly good-looking graphics, Bright Memory is laughably amateurish. Despite seeming to be PC-only you can't even change keybinds in the initial build which is bizarre. The last PC game I saw that didn't allow you to change keybinds was Rayman 2, which released over 20 years ago. Mouse aim feels terrible and the shooting mechanics are as basic and barebones as it gets. Enemies are bullet sponges without any real reaction to different kinds of weapons thrown at them. Sound design is barely there and I got hit by enemies I didn't even know were there as outside of attacks they make no noise: no footsteps, no growls, or anything. The story is complete nonsense from what I played.

Really feel like the overwhelming praise is bot-related.
