Close To The Sun Game Review

There is a palpable sense of gloom and doom in nearly every space and telling grisly details abound.

Close to the sun game review. It does a wonderful job of blending the visual style of bioshock with. The scares never go far enough nor are they consistent enough to keep the tension at a satisfying level. Only if you go with your expectations really low. It s a narrative driven game with a really bland and uninspired premise that ends without tying relevant plot knots.

As it is though while there s nothing about close to the sun that s broken there s nothing compelling enough to make it worth your while especially with its short run time and lack of replayability. And it s a shame really as the helios could have carried a great tale. Close to the sun is one of the best examples of the walking simulator style of adventure game i ve seen in quite some time. Close to the sun exists in a potential sweet spot for me a mix of horror and leisurely exploration and i enjoyed a lot of it.

It does a wonderful job of blending the visual style of bioshock with the tense atmosphere of outlast and slow paced world building of everybody s gone to the rapture. Close to the sun is an experience that inadvertently hinges on unfulfilled promises. The game is a puzzle heavy as well and unfortunately this is where some of the fun goes away. None of the puzzles are incredibly complex but many are focused on very careful observation memorization or timed sequences and missing a clue or.

It excels at toying with you particularly in the first half of the game and paces itself so that you re constantly tense even when you have nothing to fear. Close to the sun flirts with horror jump scares and a good deal of implied violence and tragedy along with its theme of scientific hubris gone bad. Close to the sun is a game that s only remarkable for its scenery. Close to the sun is a horror game that doesn t bring chills down your spine.
