6/12/2023 0 Comments Scorn xbox![]() ![]() The title revels in giving you absolutely nothing. Even with bland, uninteresting puzzles, mediocre graphics, and terrible combat I could have found something worth praising if the story and audio were good. Add in the fact that almost every enemy can do unlimited ranged attacks, and one of the bigger ones can charge you down non-stop and the combat becomes unbearable. This was especially frustrating as the game routinely takes away a health segment from you during unavoidable cutscenes. Health replenishments are similar in their finite nature within each act. I was able to fine-tune the aim but with the surprisingly large number of enemies that you’ll face as the game progresses, I found mouse aim to be far superior in being able to stay alive. When you have ammo they felt ok to use on a mouse & keyboard and a bit too stiff with a controller. ![]() The other ranged weaponry has extremely limited ammo which can be found in finite amounts throughout each level. This doesn’t run on ammo but requires a cooldown period. First up is a nearly useless and infuriating to use piston rod style attachment. All disturbingly biomechanical, of course, even the ammo. You eventually unlock a handle that can have a variety of ends attached to it. While the first few hours were so slow-paced and full of bland puzzle work the rest of my time was spent coming to grips with an awful combat system. A few sections look great, but they are a rare exception in an otherwise thoroughly mediocre-looking game. I reviewed the game on PC with settings at max and was surprised at just how ugly the majority of the game is. You will stumble in this disturbingly fleshy-filled series of bland, and honestly quite ugly corridors. There is nothing in this entire game in the way of a path being given. You’ll most likely find yourself wandering around with no clue what to do until an object lights up that you hadn’t noticed you could interact with before and a light goes off over your head. The puzzles themselves tend to be extremely straightforward with minimal trial and error. Every part of this world seems alive, and there for you to poke phallic-shaped objects into things that look like butts. Everything is flesh-like and biomechanical in nature. This is a fully 3D world played from the first-person perspective. The first few hours of the game are entirely puzzle-based. “You are a weird flesh humanoid-shaped creature who wakes up in some terrible place and is thrown into a strange world that wants to kill you” is the entire backstory. Scorn has no writing, voice acting, or written words of any kind. So, let’s break this weird, fleshy mess of a game down. Over 6 to 8 hours, you’ll stick phallic objects into bunghole-shaped bio-machinery, shoot biologically powered guns at weird flesh puppets, and it’s available as part of your Game Pass subscription. Giger-inspired locations and creature designs. You are a weird, freakish character who is tossed into an unforgiving, gray world filled with H.R. Scorn is finally here after it was initially announced back in 2014. ![]()
