Desolation Reviews

It definitely different then last time I played, No shooting, no inventory, can only pick up one c4, creatures kill you instantly, no restart game button, no single player option unless you change it to one player. Only one mission which is the the same as old version. Jump scares. some doors the enter button doesn't appear which is the E button

The graphics are good and the horror was good, but the gameplay was halfway shit. I stood still while an enemy was attacking for 5 minutes straight with no damage, I had to get closer for anything to happen.

Really interesting game, different to other horror games and the concept is original. Graphically beautiful and the devs seem to really care. Looking forward to more!

Really tiresome game, different to other horror games and the concept is derivative. Graphically weak and the devs seem to really disregard. Looking backward to Bring her back!

played for an hour, honestly unsure so far... no map, no clue to where to go, the zombies dont kill you, no clues to how many c4 to plant (or how many to go), no health stats in a positive, unlimited stamina!

Sadly a very poor gameplay experience. Many basic issues to start with, you can't window your screen, you can't see your fellow players names (they all say "TextBox" lol), my friend also got stuck for like 5 minutes as she opened one of the notes. World is massive but no map and everything looks the same so you could wonder around for ages with no sense of direction with nothing happening. The tasks it gives you are very hard to fulfill, for example it says to plant bombs but it doesn't say how many or how many left which is frustarting and you don't even know if the ones you did find counted as when you activate them nothing happens. Also they don't give an indication of which direction to find them which is needed due to the massive map with no sense of where you are. Also, monsters don't even kill you. Tried to get killed by literally standing in front of the monsters for ages (which weren't scary at all, just annoying) and they didn't inflict any damage on me so i couldn't even die (which is a complaint i didn't even think i could have haha). Way to early in development to even consider this a functioning game.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME Runs at about 8 fps, settings dont work, gameplay doesnt exist. literally, like there is nothing to do. This is a scam, this is not worth your money, the devs should never attempt to make a game again. also, there are 2 NE's on the compass....

A lot of things need to be fixed in this game to make it even worth $5. Other players names are "Text Block". No way to know your health. Once all players are dead the game doesn't restart. Once you apply your settings once you can't go back into your settings. Lots of sound bugs. And much more that the devs hopefully know about Will come back to the game once we can see a few big updates done to it

Game is far, far from ready. Too many bugs and lack of gameplay in general. for an early access youd assume that there would be some sort of "decent gameplay" to pursue but this has shocked me and i cant believe the developers thought it was ready for early access with the amount of bugs and visual glitches. The "monsters" just stand there and T-pose while you run around do whatever you do. My 3090 cant even run this game on Ultra settings which clearly shows the poor optimisation. The volume slider doesnt work. Dont buy this until much much later when the game lives up to be a game in the first place. EDIT: no updates in a long while. To anyone who recommends this game or reviews this game with a positive note...please see me, i want whatever youre smoking. Roblox is better than this game.

This game needs A LOT of work before it fully releases, but there a few things to be mindful of at this time: [list] [*] This is the developer's first launch. This is not a AAA studio with a ridiculous budget. This is a steep learning experience for them. [*] This game is in EARLY ACCESS. It has not fully released and should not be judged as a game that is fully fledged. This is one of the few games that I've seen launch recently that is actually using early access for its intended purpose. [*] The developers are engaging on their discord server and work closely with the community to collect and action feedback. To me, this shows passion and care for what they've created and I personally am excited to see where this takes this game. [/list] So given the above, the reason why I'm giving this a thumbs up is: [list] [*] It's cheap [*] The work that has gone into designing the atmosphere is spot on. The choice of engine, lighting effects, tone and mood are all used very effectively. [*] The game does a good job of telling a story just as much as it works to impart a multiplayer horror experience. [/list] To reiterate, this game is in early access and it is the developer's first launch. It is buggy, there isn't much content but it the developers are dedicated and it has great potential. For the cheap price tag, I would say invest in it and see where it goes. Just don't go into it (at the time of writing this) and expect it to be a fully fledged multiplayer experience.
