Paradise Lost Reviews

Im a sucker for transhumanism. Could be a little more interactive

What a game. Worth every penny, I loved the voice acting and subtle environmental strorytelling. Go buy it, you'll like it.

Paradise Lost may not be perfect, and its gameplay might not appeal to everyone, but if you’re someone who values atmosphere, storytelling, and immersive world-building, this game is absolutely worth experiencing, while the mechanics of Paradise Lost can feel clunky especially with the painfully slow movement, the game drew me in with its story. I was so curious to uncover what had happened, so I kept playing! The sound design was pretty good! Every creak, whisper, and distant echo adding to the immersion, making the world feel hauntingly real. The voice acting, was pretty good/okay. The atmosphere is eerie and unsettling, I found myself constantly on edge, expecting sudden jump scares that never came lol. As I said If you enjoy atmospheric storytelling and don’t mind a slow pace, it’s definitely worth a playthrough.

Paradise Lost is a story rich, mostly point-and-click, walking simulator - with some consequences to your interactions. The world created by the story and the graphics is captivating. Initially trying to figure out how to operate some of the mechanics other than walking is a little troublesome, but you can quickly catch on. I may have missed quite a bit as my achievements didn't reflect as high as I had hoped. I know of at least one area I thought I could return to, but found I could not go back. Given the information above, you might find this game worthwhile. I'm glad I played it, and I recommend it.

I really think more gamers should consider playing this game. It is very relaxing and interesting to find out the ending. Really enjoyed my time.

This title has just about all the same generic issues you can find on literally every other game. If that doesn't bother you, This title is also something of a long and slow choices-don't-matter walking simulator. If that doesn't bother you, This title is great. It's absolutely pleasant when it goes on sale. I was expecting something like the City of Rapture. It has all the perks of an enjoyable series without action. It will definitely peak the interest of point and click players. I really enjoyed spending hours roaming around this abandoned vault. It starts out slow, and there are a few small learning curve mechanisms. It had an issue that I didn't notice about 6 hours in. When I came back I had to replay a chapter. The game doesn't have loading states. It has a continued chapter function. It includes Y routes and a majority of decisions are left or right. It surprisingly did not have a lot of war related info. It was all specific to the bunker. I suppose that's relatable with most titles. I enjoyed the aesthetic. I can't say most players will fully appreciate the nuance of moderately advanced war technology. There are some reviews that ask the fitting question "what genre is this from?" which this pertains the question "what genre is this thing fitting?". There is a very transparent collection of memorabilia that identifies fitting ww2 objects with the diesel punk genre. The mechanisms responsible for tuning lever activated platforms by simple voltaic batteries powering substation generators are steampunk. Those systems use uncarved conduits to pass extreme voltages over to brand new digital servers and workstations with extravagant operating systems which are far more cyberpunk. This title attempts to explore a place where I believe cyberpunk is introduced into a diesel punk world. Or this subcategory already sparingly drips among the vastness of our marketplace. This title does add something to our perception about modern history. It manages to throw a lot in one place without it being messy. After the amount of time I have spent on this, I can say that this story is much clearer because of the time it took.

I was hoping for a good story for a walking simulator but it didn't really charm me in at the beginning. The speed of the character is way too slow (even shift doesn't add much) and game can get stuck at certain checkpoints (you need to change the resolution or lock the fps on 30). Paradise lost my motivation to play.

I got mixed feelings about this one... The game was [i]cheap[/i] when I bought it, and I will start by saying it looks absolutely incredible, in some areas. What I mean by that, is not crazy with ray tracing or other new technologies, but man, every piece of paper, every chair, is placed with heart by the visual team. I saw more textures for the same objects, stains in different places and everything just looks amazing. Sound design, was not really that great, and the voice acting was pretty bad, but alas I made it through the story [i](I was lucky the length of the game was only about 4 hours in total).[/i] The story was nothing special, [spoiler] The Nazi's destroyed the world, or at least Europe, and the Polish were not defeated and by getting into the bunker they obtained access to the systems of the Germans, and because your father was a crazy man who believed in faith too much he sacrifices your sister so that they can remake Europe using her life essence, believing it was the Gods that did this, not your sister? After 20 years you find the bunker and are left with the choice of leaving, or staying. If you leave, you try your luck into finding a new place to live, I think? If you stay then you will also be used, or I should say your life essence will be used to reignite the growth of plants and stuff in Europe. [/spoiler] Pretty interesting on paper, but it was boring for me. The fact that your character moves with 0.2 meters per hour doesn't help in the slightest. It is a [i]walking sim[/i], but I think the developers intended for it to be like this, and if it were to look worse, then I would've reviewed it with thumbs down. Will I ever play it again? I don't think so, maybe with a speed mod or something to get through it in 2 hours :)) I think there was great potential for a cool story, but it didn't hit me quite as good as I would've wanted it to. It's a 5/10 for me.
