Is this game really that short?

[I LIVE AGAIN]

I've completed 1 chapter + half of the second in 90 min.

Wow the game is that short? I usually judge games on a 3 point criteria: Game length, replay value, and overall fun. I then reference the score with the price point to determine the games overall value

1. Fun factor accounts for 60/100 points

2. Replay ability 20/100

3. Game length 20/100

Once you acquired the base score you divide it by the price and get your enjoyment per dollar ratio. It's really simple.

I dont mean just that. Even without it off the game looks very pixely which is what a lot of indie games do on purpose to make their game look more retro.

The textures/models etc? If so, to be fair it is purposefully like that. Lots of 2D indie games do it, when they don't need to & it can be pretty pants when forced. But here it is perfect imho, considering the type of games it is in homage to - but is taste.

I do, but misunderstood whether you did, so apologies on that - hard to tell if you even knew there was strafe jumping etc in this game just based on your comment.

I agree there - certainly simpler than Quake's, but then again the air movement etc feels damn fluid & is very fun within the game. I wouldn't enjoy it as much if it was more 'realistic' on that front. But again - taste

I'd buy this game for twice the price and I haven't even seen the third episode yet. If people think this is not good enough then how the ♥♥♥♥ do games like Ass Creed and latest Far Cry games survive? Do you pay to kill time? This is why we have sand boxes with the same ♥♥♥♥ over and over agan.

My first playthough took me 11 hours. But I took my time, looked for secrets and did some backtracking.

Welp, also remember that you can play these same levels with low-tech, untouchable and pacifist medals, which increases its replayability value.

Not only that, but it was also proven possible to get all 4 medals at the same time. Don't remember how though.

[Geassguy]

It is no shorter than any other game of it's type. Never played a 90's action fps?

[El Oshcuro]

This thread is too long everyone is getting a refund now

[Panc]

yeah, play the easiest mode and run through all the enemies so you can brag to you friends that you beat the game under an hour

Jokes aside, like all the other classic FPS games, this game doesn't have 10 minutes of forced scripted sequences/cutscenes every 30 minutes, or put you in a locked room until you kill all the enemies, so if that's not cup of your tea then refund it. However you'll get your money worth if you actually play the game to appriciate the level design and consider its replayability and finding secrets.

Whether if you like that is up to you, but I personally prefer 5-9 hours of well-crafted singleplayer campaign, rather than forced 40 hours of grinding mess, that they spreaded time it takes to complete the game so they can charge $50 for a game.

tbh i refunded this a long time ago, simply its just not worth that amount of money.

You have no idea how much time, effort and research went into this game to achieve the feel it gives us.

It`s not just like they cobbled a handful of random assets together and called it a day. It`s indeed VERY easy to make a throwback shooter. But, making a GOOD one is exceptionally challenging. And this game right here nails it perfectly... It`s like playing quake for the first time again. They knocked it out of the park.This my friend is where your money go.

My thoughts exactly!,the overall gameplay is a refreshing change to all recent Top Shelf shooters costing three times this game costs...bring it on Blood Interactive! :)

your opinion and tastes are pretty much trash my dude

[SylveonLover]

I guess it will take muchy more time finding the secrets, killing all the enemies and (if you can) finish it in the most difficult settings. And you have multiplayer and survival too. For me at least it´s worth the money. And is preatty cheap at least in Argentina. Only 189 pesos.

[British Superman]

Weird - according to my records, I've got 8 hours on it. Not touched multiplayer, not played it more than once, normal only - but I properly explored the maps.

[DoomMaker]

I got 30 hours out of this game, with maybe 3-4 in multi, 5-6 in endless and ~20 in SP. Definitely very replayable. Can't wait for modding tools.

[Cujo]

If this game has a reason to replay & replay who cares. With a game like Slay the Spire, I can get through one run in 3 hours, but there is enough variability in the game to make me want to replay. BTW I have over 300 hours in Slay the Spire. Now some rpg games that have over 60 hours, I get bored before even finishing. Do the same thing over and over again to advance a story, gets boring fast.

Some times I use the rationale of $1/hour is good. So if were to get about 15 to 20 hours out of Dusk. I would say yes this is a good purchase.

You have to ask yourself do I like killing monsters over and over again with a variety of guns.

If yes, get the game. If not maybe check out something with more longevity like AMID EVIL. I think that's longer. Could be wrong, though

[KillStealKing82]

Id rather play quality content then padding regardless of cost. Think its disgusting some people suggesting to speed run it and refund...no wonder developers want off steam.

Its like buying a bar of chocolate, eat 2/3 of it, relize you dont like it then try and get your money back.

Or someone pays between 10-20 quid on a cinema ticket for a film that will last a couple hours average, they come out and decide they dont like it, would you then expect a refund for that reason...ofc you wouldnt, its taking the piss.

You paying for the experiance at the end of the day not how many hours you get from it, what is seen so far it was an instant buy, looking forward to playing it.
