Experience it yourself. Do not consume anything about the game before playing it.

Thank you devs. For creating something this unique and amazing. I will remember this game for a very long time. And congratulations for the Game of The Year Award 2025. You will have this in the bag.

For the main game and the expansion packs;

Played everything on the hardest difficulty.

Game play is very good. Tactical shooter with bullet time. Enemies are fierce. Which what makes games really, really fun. Game play was the main element for me to continue to play.

Story is just boring? I really didn't care. And expensions are just butchers the main game's story line. lol. I really want to see what happens in the second game.

Try it if you want to play some good first person shooter.

Loved it.

Beautiful and detailed pixel art. Great music.

Every level has it's own theme and it's own puzzles. Exploring is soo much fun.

Levels are full of different enemies so never feels like you are fighting the same thing over and over again. Different strategies and attack combos is required to move foward. Only thing that I wanted in the combat was to be able to block or parry enemy attacks. Enemies will hit you no matter what if you in their general attack range. So evade, get back and hit them when they getting ready for their next attack.

Equipable items offer some diversity in combat. If you find all corgis game gives you an amazing item which makes you the fastest gunslinger in the game.

Every skill point spent is makes you little bit stronger. There is no skill or power trade. Which I like a lot. Makes you feel like a god at the end of the game.

Boss fights are fun and they are smiply not hard. Challening in a way that you have to use all of your abilities and skills. Game does not punish you because you made a small mistake or forgot to do something.

Story is mostly okay. There is some lore but as a player you only learn when some cut scene plays out. Other than that there is no way of learning about the game world or other characters motivations.

There is a bar in the game and you can ask the bartender if he heard some rumors and he gives you nothing. There are some npcs you can talk to but it's just nothing burger. Could have been nice to learn about the world and the characters more. But it is what it is.

Really want to see the second game in the series.

Seeing the game on the Geekenders Podcast actually gave me the push to play it. And I'm glad it did.

Congratualtions to the dev team and Jesse and Dodger.

Can't wait for the next game.

I saw a comment about this game that you can't finish it without using a guide. Well, I finished it without looking any guide or used any other help from anything or from anyone. I can say finishing a point click adventure game all by myself makes me feel great.

Self congratulating aside, this game is hard as f... Game keeps trolling you with useless items or interaction points to keep you off from the main tasks and puzzles. Sometimes it takes hours to find the right answer to simply continue to the next door.

Compare to the first game its more action packed. More bloods. More deaths. And more, much more puzzles. Never ending twists. It's just too much for no reason. Everytime I tought I finished the game, something else came up and game continued for another 4 hours.

Story starts simple and ends like a bad action/detective movies. More like SAW sequels. Also they had finished the first game's story and conclusion in this game too. So if you wondering how the story really ends for the first game you should play this one too.

All I can say is; You play Point & Click Adventure games for the puzzles. Solving and moving to the next one makes you want to play more. And this game gives you that. But if you are not ready for search or try to make sense how to solve the puzzle in front of you for hours do not try. Buy you can, you will have a great time.

I have solved the cookies puzzle in my third try... and I have spent +2 hours for lock picking a door puzzle and +4 hours for the computer search puzzle.

Old point click games had a serious problem with pixel searching as a one of the main game design choices and it's a very big part of this game's in game mechanics. That annoyed me a lot.

But this is a good game with good story. Give it a try if you like to want to solve some murder mysteries.

Ne söylenmeli tam olarak bu oyun hakkında?

Öncelikle oyunu zor zorluk seviyesinde 2 defa tamamladım ve sonrasında da rouge ajan bölümünde 40 katı tamamlayarak bitirdim.

Bunları söylüyorum çünkü oyunun sevmediğim yanlarından bahsettiğimde haksız yere oyunu oynamayı beceremediğimin dile getirilmesini istemiyorum.

--Hikaye--
Açıkçası ilk defa oyun yapan bir oyun stüdyosunun neden kompleks ve katmanlı bir hikaye anlatmaya girdiğini anlayamıyorum. Çünkü bahsettikleri konular ne kadar komplike ve katmalı olsa da bunu anlatış ve sunuş biçimleri fazlasıyla yavan. Bu hikayenin oyuncu tarafından daha iyi deneyimlenmesi için daha katmanlı ve oyuncuyu seçimler yapmak zorunda bırakan bir yapıya ihtiyacı var. Birinci döngü, beşinci döngü, onuncu döngü vs ama hiç birinde ben bir şey seçemiyorum ki. Her oyunda dünyayı kurtarmak, kozmik karakterlerle muhattap olmak zorunda olmayalım, ne gerek var?

Daha sade ve belki Türkiye sokaklarında geçen noir havada bir oyun çok daha güzel olabilirmiş bu oyunun sunduğu oyun mekanikleri açısından bence. Özellikle görsel ve efektlere bu kadar emek harcanmışken.

--Oyun Mekanikleri--
Nerede çokluk orada bokluk deyiminin karşılığını bu oyunun içinde bulmak işten bile değil. Genel atlama ve zıplama mekaniklerinde bir sıkıntı yok ama dövüş mekanikleri bir kaç yorumu hak ediyor.

Daracık mekanlarda aynı anda 4-5 adamla karşı karşıya kalmak, en az 2 tane silahlının sürekli arkadan sıkması, diğer elemanların üzerimize atlaması ve adamları mı bloklayayım yoksa gelen mermiye mi kafa atayım derken ölmek paha biçilemez.

Biliyorum oyun cephanemizde bulunan her türlü silahı kullanarak düşmanları temizlememizi istiyor. Ancak oyunun dövüş mekanikleri combat flow diye tanımlanan o tatmin edici dövüş / kombo mekaniğini sıkıntısız sunamıyor. Yapılabilecek sopa, bıçak ve çekiç komboları sınırlı ve her bir komboyu yaparken sıfırdan başlamak oyunun dövüş akıcılığını baltalıyor. Özellikle siz kombo yapmaya çalışırken allah ne verdi demeden kafanıza vuran düşmanlar da cabası.

Çoğu dövüşü elinizde bulunan mesafeli silahları adamlar üzerinde hızlı bir şekilde kullanmak, üzerinize gelen adamların üzerinden atlayarak uzaktan size saldıran düşmanları temizlemek ve sonrasında yakından saldıran düşmanları temizlemek üzerinden geçiyor. Bu da oyunun en güçlü yanı olan dövüş mekaniklerinin çabuk eskimesine sebep oluyor.

Bunun dışında oyunun bir seviyeyi tamamlanmış sayması için o anda ekranda görünen tüm düşmanları yok etmemizi talep etmesi can sıkıcı bir detay. Özellikle oyunun sonlarındaki çatı katlarının daracık alanda 5-6 adam olan bölümlerindeki sıkışıklık insanı yoruyor. Hatta bir bölümün sonunda öldürmediğiniz bütün düşmanları son çatı katına ışınlayıp cezalandırıyor oyun sizi. Bırakın geçelim işte, ne gerek var böyle atraksiyonlara?

Son bir ek olarak; Adamların sıktığı mermiler nedense sizinle aynı hızda hareket ediyor ve çoğu zaman eğer yerde mermilerden kaçmaya çalışıyorsanız o mermiden hasar almadan kurtulmak neredeyse imkansız. Yerde takla atsanız ile takla atma tamamlandığı anda mermiyi kafanıza yiyorsunuz. Büyük ihtimal kasıtlı olarak oyunun içerinde bırakılmış bir detay ama can sıkıcı işte.

--Müzik--
Oyunun bence en başarılı olduğu kısımlardan biri. Söylenecek çok bir şey yok. Metro kısmında çalan müziği ayrıca çok beğendim.

--Görsel / Grafik--
Bu kısım için de söylenecek pek bir şey yok. Görsel olarak başarılı ve gerçekten iyi emek harcanmış.

--Son Söz--
Oyunu bu kadar gömdüm diye beğenmedim sanılmasın. Harcadığım vakit zaman zaman can sıkıcı olduysa da genel anlamda oldukça eğlendim. Özellikle rouge ajan bölümü 40. kattaki son boss haricinde oldukça eğlenceliydi. Sadece 4-5 saatimi bu bölüme harcamışımdır.

Oyunu yapan arkadaşların ellerine sağlık. Umarım ileride çok çok daha iyi oyunlarla karşımıza çıkarlar. Ama lütfen, Türkiye'de geçen, hikaye olarak sürekli sağa sola ışınlanmadığımız, daha karakter ve hikaye merkezli bir polis / dedektiflik oyunu yapsanız çok ama çok daha güzel olur.

Kolay gelsin.

I can't give this game a tumbs down. But I really don't want to give a tumbs up either.

When I think about my time with the game, I really can't believe I did not enjoy playing it. What a shame.

I can't really say if I liked this game or not.

I played the game on Ultra Hard from the start, so my gameplay was slow and painful but it didn't really bothered me. I liked the challenge.

But discovery part of the game was just meh for me. Random texts scattered around the map, most of them just random people talking about their daily lifes or commercials that centuries old. It's not interesting.

What Aloy wears not interesting or game changing. Weapons Aloy use are not interesting. There are a lot of different arrow types. But you will always use the most strongest ones. Because that means easy kill. And good upgrades open later in the game (mostly DLC) so there is nothing to looking out for when it comes to loot.

After completing any quest, game gives you weapon mods as a reward. Just random weapon mods that you can find from any other enemy. So you only complete the side quest for the immersion and most of the time there is nothing to do out there in the world, except for killing machines.

Story of Aloy is interesting at the begining for a short couple of minutes, but game doesn't make anything with it. She is an out cast for her whole life and after a short sequence of events she is the seeker of the whole tribe in a few days. That's just a weak writing there.

What really interesting is what really happend to the world itself. And Aloy is the key. And the key opens the door that led to an unsatisfiying answer. At least for me.

Maybe Forbidden West is a better game when it comes to the story. I don't know. If it comes to Steam, I would like to play it.

Other than everything up there, game looks great, sounds great, combat is good and fun.

If you want some casual fun, you might want to give it a try.
