Is Scorn The Best Or The Worst Giger-Inspired Game? 

Saying Giger is "not safe for youtube" is like saying a bellyflop onto concrete from 10 stories up is "incompatible with continued good health"

I think I'm pretty much on the same page as you. I dig slow paced games that make you think and I really appreciate it when devs try to focus on mechanics that aren't just "shoot the bad guy". Then I played Scorn. I was disappointed in myself for getting bored so quickly and wishing for a more combat focused experience. Maybe if the puzzle elements were injected or hidden inside combat situations? Pasting a bunch of combination puzzles overtop of cool Gigery/Cronenbergy visuals reminded me of those old educational games I would play on the school library computer. Like, sure there's a caterpillar eating apples... but we all know I'm just answering a bunch of math questions.

I would like to say there is kinda a sneak mechanic, almost all the enemies you encounter can be avoided, like when you first see them, back up if they haven’t seen you. Go to the last room and they will just slowly crawl away going to where they want. Most people hate the fighting but no one knows that it can be avoided easily. Search up aleckermit and his video “your playing scorn wrong” showcases this really well. Good video tho

Game is all look no game

I feel like dialogue and text would have changed the game a little more, but nonetheless, it really did need some kind of goal, and not just, "Oh, next section!"

Oh man this is so spot on with exactly how I feel and all the things I complained about almost to the T with this game. Also with a very similar thing happening. I crashed during the last boss then when I reloaded no matter what I was at 1 fps. No way I was playing through all that again. Just like I'll always say, visually this game is a masterpiece just like Silt, Papertura, and Stray. Buy those games actually felt good to play. Nothing about Scorn feels good to play and I could never recommend a game on visuals alone. (Which apparently is what 90% of positive reviews are it seems....) Seriously though....its haunting how exact your feelings and thoughts are to mine. This is my now go to video if anyone wants to know how I feel!

Couldn’t get past the very first egg puzzle even with a tutorial. Then I refunded the game

maybe if they nerfed the enemies or beefed up the guns an added an option to skip the puzzles it would be a better experience

I liked it but that’s because I went in wanting to do nothing but look around at my own pace and was willing to put up with bad everything else. Those spin puzzles were just the worst though.

I experienced the inverse of most people's disappointment with Scorn. I remember people thinking it was going to be a horror shooter and were disappointed when it was a MYST-like first person puzzle game but with a GARAGE Bad Dream Adventure look- but I played it way after release and knew what it was, I WANTED that first person horror puzzle experience. And that's what I got, and I really enjoyed it... for the first 2 hours. Then it turned into a terrible survival horror shooter with some of the most frustrating compat I've ever experienced in any game I've played. This could have been a fantastic Portal style puzzler that really leaned into the horror, but it’s only a decent puzzle game for the first 2/3rds and then becomes a godawful shooter in the last third. The game isn't good at either of it's gameplay styles.

scorn has inventory? I always switched weapons using 1, 2, 3 and never saw any inventory open animation like that 07:30

ephi can you look through ultrakill and see if theres anything interesting in the files?

Request: Would love to see your opinion on the Amnesia: The Dark Descent Ninja edit: How tf have you not blown up with millions of subs? This channel is a goldmine

What, no mention of Zdzisław Beksiński?

"Glad to see he finally got a mouth" lmao. But does he scream?

...i love dearly both Agony and Scorn :c And Myst, yeah. Granted, i also love hardcore puzzles even if they drive me insane, i am very much used to jank, suffering is my game and AESTHETICS with AWESOME VISUALS genuinely make both amazing art pieces for me.

Did you run out of frames after 2:18?

I am a hardcore fan of Giger and Myst and this still wasn't the game for me :|

how "q3 style" agile do you want the halfway born protagonist to be who has literaly two arms stuck in his intestines?

If this game is a few years old why is it blowing up all of a sudden?

Fun fact: It's pronounced GHEE-GHUR 😸

Shame you had a bad time with the game. I would say is definitely an acquired taste, its totally fair some people won't like the game (specially for the price and the lenght). Personally, I loved the experience. Like lots I watched the trailers and gameplay and that told me the combat was not going to be something one could rely on. At least for me it was pretty clear from the trailers the combat was going to be super slow. Believe ir or not I enjoyed more Scorn than Alien Isolation.

It's great piece of art.... piece of shit attempt of a game, though. No plot, no characters, clunky action, half a puzzle and that's it.

first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you fought any of the enemies other than the last "boss" then you played the game wrong. You're not supposed to fight ANYTHING. Every single enemy in the game can be avoided or will just leave if you have a minute's patience.
