I have the ultimate love/hate relationship with this game. The game is fun to play, my hours attest to that. But every update forces me to reevaluate my relationship with this game.

$300 and five years later, this game still doesn't feel cohesive. Every DLC is priced like a game itself, and adds less and less. The game is completely unrecognizable from it's release, and that isn't a good thing. There doesn't feel like there is an end state or goal for this game. Every DLC and expansion seems to come with some type of overhaul that completely changes some former aspect of the game. It doesn't feel like they have a firm foundation and are building content upon it, but rather that they come in and jackhammer the foundation every six months and ask you to pay the price of the game again to rebuild it. Always a new foundation, never anything built upon it.

Now they want us to subscribe to unlock all the DLC, or buy DLC season passes ahead of time. This isn't a live service game. Why does it feel like we are being milked and exploited as if it was?

Placeholder text abounds, missing descriptions, "TBA", mentions of items coming up in Early Access, but the game is supposedly in 1.0 release.

Overall, just a lack of polish and attention to detail. Paths that don't line up with bridges, ignoring preference on prince versus princess. This game feels like it should've been cooked for a bit longer, but they rushed it out and slapped 1.0 on it.

A masterclass in storytelling.

A very good exploration puzzle game. Progression through knowledge was very fun!

Setting the standard for developer support for the entire industry.

Absolute blast with friends. The true metaverse.

The closest we are ever going to get to an AAA SCP Foundation game. Amazing lore, beautiful world, satisfying combat.

Quite possibly my favorite game of all time.

The game isn't bad, but it is short. About 1.5 hours of playtime for my playthrough.

About half way through I pretty much had already predicted the (only) twist and big reveal, both of which happen at the last second of the game. The character interplay was interesting, but the story was pretty much just filler leading up the reveal.

The voice acting felt phoned in, the puzzles were meh. Good visuals however.

In short: Don't buy at full price, but worth playing if gotten for free or large discount.

Game of the decade. Don't read ANYTHING going in, any form of spoiler will ruin it for you.
