Great look and atmosphere. The game is at its best when I'm taking my time walking around, soaking in the environment and solving puzzles. However, the horrid combat, combined with the unforgiving checkpoints and lack of health/ammo, very much dragged the whole experience down for me and led to too much frustration.

I had fun with this game even though it only took me 5 hours to beat. It was not the game I'de expected Scorn to be, but to be honest I was glad that it wasn't. I thought the game would be a first person shooter, but this is far more a puzzle game like Myst and The Witness.
If you ask me they should have left the shooting out of it completely because it's the worst part of the game. The puzzles are enjoyable and not too hard. The best thing about this game is the world design inspired by H.R. Giger's work. Just walking around in it is a treat.
A lot of people are complaining about motion sickness playing this game. I was one of them. Disabling motion blur and upping the FOV helps a lot of people. For me it was the absence of a crosshair that messed with my stomach. I fixed this by using 'Crossover'. This Windows tool gives you the option to place a crosshair over any game you want.
If you have GamePass it's definitely worth checking out. 39,99 is too expensive for 5 hours of gameplay. Especially because there's nothing left to do after completing the game. I finished the game with only missing one trophy. Getting that trophy took me 10 minutes of replaying Chapter 1.

The game is full of a bunch of weird devices and mechanisms that affect the environment, which you're meant to experiment with to find how to progress through the game. It tells you almost nothing, feeling to me most like what I played of Myst (which I also didn't like). It's a bit bewildering, and harmonizes well with the game's strange, grotesque, alien art direction to create a pervasive sense of unease and "the unknown". But I just don't like this kind of puzzle-solving, the aesthetic is not really something that interests me, it's pretty slow and abstract, hard for me to get into enough to play more than an hour of it honestly.
