UNSIGHTED Reviews

Too open for it's own good, or at least open in having no marker and access to a lot of places, however linear in what upgrades you have to aquire, not very fun.

Great environment, good combat, good length. Story could be better but who cares. Great games. Recommend it 100%.

I don't ever leave reviews, let alone serious ones, but this is the exception. PLEASE GIVE THIS GAME A SHOT. I first played this 3 years ago on Switch and was singing it's praises despite not even finishing it. Now that I have completed it a few times over I can genuinely say this is one of the all time greats. I laud this game because I took a chance on it. I almost NEVER buy games full price anymore, but it peaked my interest enough to drop the full 20 on it for some reason. I have never been so rewarded. If you want to play it safe PLEASE take advantage of the Humble Games sale. 8 bucks for this game is a criminally low amount to pay for this full ass game let alone 20. Your money will be well spent. An amazing and accessible genre blend of Zelda, Metroidvania, Hack n' Slash, and more. I cannot recommend this enough and am so stoked for ABYSS X ZERO. Another absolute W for the indie game scene, it deserves so much more.

I enjoy the gameplay a lot. Here's the main things i like: - Parrying (atleast to me) seems much smoother, and the parry window is much easier to predict by enemy animations. - I like the flashy animations with the ice/fire/lightning weapons, and love the option to choose between a slow and heavy, or agile and light playstyle, or just straight up not having any melee weapons and just shooting. The game also has a nice bit of puzzles thrown in it, similliar to what i've seen in i.e crosscode. Overall, i loved the experience, and i would recommend it to everyone! :P

Very fun game with NEStalgia(SNES) vibes from Metroid, Zelda and Mega Man X with a beautifully inclusive representation of characters. Also... I get to pet the fur babies :))))))))

very fun game. tough at first but as you get used to the controls it becomes easier and more natural. gameplay is fun, map is neat, choices are somewhat tough, time limit adds pressure but never feels overwhelming. play with the time limit for the full experience imho. overall, strong recommend.

[h1]A nice little Metroidvania[/h1] Unsighted plays well. The items you unlock are fun and change how you navigate around the world. The controls and combat is tight. It's good stuff. The 'everyone is on a timer' is the draw of the game, which I think is super interesting, and it plays a far smaller part than I expected. The game is designed around it, you are given plenty of dust to dull out to whichever characters you please, as their time ticks down. As everyone's time ticks down, yours included. Though half the characters have so much time they will never need help and only a couple will actually need help before you are near the end of the game. Which, is fine. This game's focus is on the dungeons and action, and there it absolutely succeeds. This is [i]not[/i] a narrative game where you languish over how to dull out the last scraps of dust. To be clear, the game knows what it wants to be and accomplishes it. The 'time is ticking', is extra flavor rather than the focus. If this game looks interesting to you, but you are worried about the timers, don't worry. It is not harsh and you can turn it off at any time. If you are looking for a drama about the last moments of our lives... look elsewhere. This is a well done metroidvania, that I gladly recommend to fans of the genre.

Really great game. As you've probably seen from other reviews the time mechanic is very controversial. For where I stand on it I think you really should leave it on instead of immediately disabling it. This is coming from a person who usually hates time systems or calendars or whatever in games. I like taking games at my own pace and not having any sort of element tick down without me doing anything. I specifically dropped Persona 4 Golden because the calendar was stressing me out. With all that being said it really works for this game. It ties into the story really well and makes every character death along the way impactful and heartbreaking if you aren't fast and efficient enough clearing all the dungeons and finding enough meteor dust to keep everyone topped off. It also just sort of solves the problem that I have with most zeldalikes/metroidvanias where I get stuck somewhere and get bored. The timer keeps you from idly banging your head against obstacles you're unsure about and encourages you to explore the whole map and always do something productive. It's a beautifully elegant mechanic that works on so many levels. The game is still a lot of fun without it but, so much of the experience is lost I feel. Please buy this, give it a shot with how the devs intended, and feel everything.

I really wanted to like this one, but nothing clicked for me. The combat feels too simple, backtracking turns into a chore (and it’s punishing with the timer—yes, I know it can be disabled, but that defeats the purpose), and the characters have zero charisma. For me, this game is just overly hyped.

My first session and ive played almost 3 hours. This game is dare i say perfect. I cannot find any flaws. Great atmosphere, catchy tunes, solid combat, great characters, cool leveling system, gameplay variety etc. Just WOW. Seems like theres going to be some replay value too from what ive seen so far. I was browsing the leaderboard and it seems there is a new game plus and new game extra(?). It has a time limit aspect that can create some stress but its kind of connected to the story. I'm not expecting to do great my first time but if you don't like that time aspect then you can shut it off as soon as they introduce it and play a more relaxed version of the game which i feel would be just as satisfying game-play wise. But I'm going to do the timed version and maybe turn it off when i play on a harder mode after beating the game. The timer is definitely the way the developer intended. anyways 10/10. its on sale for 7 dollars right now. I would have paid 30 dollars for it honestly.
