Shady Part of Me Reviews

wow

A very mediocre to bad game, 4/10. The puzzles were the best part of this game but they were fine at best. The artstyle was interesting only for a short while. The story was a huge drag and extremely boring. One thing almost made me quit this game - the VA choice for the little girl was the worst thing that happened to this game. I almost scratched my skin off listening to her. I don't understand how it can be so irritating to me, but I had to turn the voice off for me to just keep going. And to be honest not much kept me going anyway.

It's a cute little short game, personally I loved the art style, the puzzles are not too hard and overall it was a very nice 5 hour experience. Also the music is just amazing and very dinamic, it complements the art style and gameplay masterfully.

It is not the greatest game of all times, but it does the job more than acceptably. I've completed it once and I'm looking for the stuff I missed. I definitly recommand it. I enjoyed the full playthrought and I recommand it even more on sale. Worth it.

This is a neat little, slightly darkish gem with fun puzzles. [b]Why did you play Shady Part of Me?[/b] Good question, since this really isn't my usual RPG cuppa. However, I'd recently really enjoyed Limbo and Inside, the reviews of this one were very positive, the price was good, so ... [b]And did the game meet your expectations?[/b] Absolutely. SPoM wasn't going to be my GOAT and it isn't, but it was very enjoyable and kept me game for all of its 10h of playtime. Puzzles were very fair (though to be honest I did need some help from a walkthrough here and there, in particular with the paper birds and towards the end), atmosphere was excellent, imagery and music very evocative. I don't know if I really *got* the message, but the ending did, to some extent, feel meaningful and cathartic. Gameplay was flawless. [b]What about achievements[/b] Very fair and engaging. I thought that the extra encouragement to get all the birds added something to the game. Orientation within the chapters was certainly very counterintuitive, but that's just a minor quibble. The game was 100%able even for a regular guy like me.

Not good nor bad. It will speack to you and be good or it will not. Buy it when for sale and you will not be disappointed.

Well, if you like puzzles with a hint of anxiety, this is a good title, despite being a small game it was very well made,i like it.The soundtrack, the effects, everything is strangely perfect. It's a very relaxing and slightly scary game, I love how it develops and how it captures the player's attention. The first time I played it I hadn't paid attention to the dimension of this game, how wonderful it is, after I started focusing on it I just loved it, the immersion, the atmosphere, the desire to help the little girl reach the end of all that darkness, I really love this game!
