It has lore and character build up, they can really start an amazing NEW franchise on this game by treating this one as a starting act, It just needs to be long. I really hope it happens one day

I like the gameplay and setting, the problem is that it was too limited. There was like 3 of the same boss fight, the final boss was one of them.

It felt more like a showcase of PS4 technology than an actual game.
DragonfruitAsleep976 t1_iy5dapc wrote
Definitely but the setting is so good that it's a waste to just leave it as is.

This was the shortest full-priced game that I've ever purchased.

I liked the world building. Like the air strike being a blimp firing a harpoon to the ground and then sending a bomb down the chain. That's a clever approach to old tech.

Seems unnecessary when you could just drop the bomb.
DrPatchet t1_iy6boam wrote
Bombing was extremely inaccurate until computer technology. Only 20% of bombs hit their targets in ww2.
AllAboutThemReps t1_iy6fnth wrote
Yet a harpoon launched from a blimp is going to be more accurate?
DrPatchet t1_iy6q76q wrote
A blimp is way lower, way slower, and probably shot from a ballista or cannon so probably. Like the original comment it’s a clever take on the steam punk vibe for a accurate air strike

I really think they need to revisits this world.

Truly the only fantasy-victorian-steampunk setting out there. Imagine if only someone else had also used it..

We need more Victorian-esque Vampire/Werewolf/etc type games in general.

It is $10 right now. For that I am willing to try it.

far too much, its worth and £2.50

Still remerber when people hated me because i said that "enjoyed the game", everyone was like, "this is not avideo game its a tech demo or a movie" XD
Valant0324 t1_iy63npx wrote
It would have been good as a launch title.
But it wasn't. It was a gears of War clone with shiny graphics
Pender8911 t1_iy45km3 wrote
A fun tech demo but some parts were atrocious
farbekrieg t1_iy48p8r wrote
it was like a very short visual novel
shodan13 t1_iy5r0dz wrote
It's like the opposite of Disco Elysium.

Ps5 still hasn’t gotten a tech demo like this the order looks better than 2022 games
ZazaB00 t1_iy4u3a4 wrote
That’s the thing, you can tell when devs put in the time to make it look good. Just look at Arkham Knight versus Gotham Knights. Seven years ago, they gave a fuck and put out a sweet looking game that holds up to this day. Gotham Knights on the other hand, pretty forgettable around every corner.

Nowadays we get low effort games because people have low standards and buy every garbage thrown at their face
confusedcraftsman t1_iy4xj7k wrote
Ps5's tech demo was Astro's playroom. A fantastic game. Better then the order in my opinion.
djdeforte t1_iy4afbx wrote
Was not a big fan of the game play, or lack there of. It was like 10 min of cut scenes with 2 min of game play. Maybe it changes later on in the game but it turned me off pretty quickly.

Agree, a sequel would have been mostlikly good.
Frowning_Existing666 t1_iy55oas wrote
I wish we could have gotten the full game in the first place lol, I remember playing for like 6 hours and enjoying it for the most part only for it to cut off into a fucking cliffhanger mid story like excuse me? I maybe could have looked past it had there been literally any other game modes or anything. This game really played with my emotions and left such a sour taste in my mouth and we all know that we’ll never ever see the continuation. Such a shame.

I think they wanted this to be like modern Sony AAA titles, very cinematic in its presentation with great visuals and fun combat. But it fell flat unfortunately.
RockSokka t1_iy5cbj6 wrote
Because of this game I got to check something off my bucket list. I got paid to game test this in the studio, never played the released game though.
RiyadMehrez t1_iy5r15t wrote
This game was absolutely dog shit. one of the worst games ive ever played. i got to the blimp crash part and took the disc out and sold it. it was like 2 days after release
mkul316 t1_iy62cvo wrote
It was a very cool piece of world building.
[deleted] t1_iy6ckz1 wrote
No, it was complete garbage and we should count ourselves lucky that resources aren't being wasted on a sequel to it.
whitepplwithdreads t1_iy6gaze wrote
They had dlc planned but were so butthurt by the release backlash they packed it all up lol. If you take your timr and dick around this game can easily be beaten in 7 hours. I did it on twitch once. The entire thing took me less than 8 hours, and I stopped many times throughout

I wanna play a remake of this Game...

I remember reviews saying it was pretty bad all around except for the graphics
Pegussu t1_iy7s56p wrote
Sony hasn't completely forgotten the series. One of the collectible items in GoW: Ragnarok are poems that are references to other Sony exclusives. One of them was referencing this game.
DanGimeno t1_iy7yt61 wrote
Good but short. Rented for a weekend and platined before returning it.
FlashisSpeed t1_iy808lw wrote
The game was far from perfect. It was indeed, dog shit. The gameplay was so awfully bland, janky and a slap in the face of gamers. The only good thing was how good it looked and that was it. It was a tech demo, passed off as a game.
UglyKidEnzoo t1_iy85uqy wrote
It's one of maybe 5 games that I want to come to PC, Im absolute sucker for Steampunk aesthetic and I'm not willing to drop this much money for PS4/5 to play these games

This 'game' was more like a half assed tech demo at most...fkn ridiculous how many folks look back on this 'game' with rose tinted glasses...
Beaversneverdie t1_iy4sdhf wrote
I would argue it ridiculous to criticize people liking a game.
[deleted] t1_iy6p4o8 wrote
I think its ridiculous that folks praise the obnoxiously priced tech demo and make it out like it was something groundbreaking when it was far from it...gotta justify being mugged off is my guess lmao.

people can like bad things, and its okay for them to be a minority.

Like Stephen’s did a great video on this. I haven’t taken the plunge into it because I’m sure I’d want more.

I honestly forgot about this game

Should have been an episodic series. DLC every like, 6 months or so.

I still can't believe this game came out in 1886
