Scorn - Worthy Of Its Name (Review)

Check out the Scorn review here! 

My lastest review is a damn spicy one! Scorn is a game that makes me feel... well... scorn! Seriously, I cannot emphasize enough how horrible this was to play.

That's a shame, I remember when you previewed this game years ago and it looked amazing

Would love to hear your voice though and imagining you reading this doesn't live up to your personality 😔 hopefully you will discuss this on PodQuisition 😎😇🙇🏻‍♂️

Ah, the old 'lather, rinse, repeat' style of gameplay. Fail until you stumble on a solution or luck out. Hoping Scorn gets the Sean Murray treatment and eventually evolves from shambling horror to something playable. Until then, based on Steph's review and others, hard pass.

Here's hoping the new Plague Tale gets a review, and that Steph enjoys it.

I haven't played "Scorn" myself but it makes me sad that a long-anticipated team by my home team in Serbia ranks so low. I know the development has been rough and long but their ambition was great, which is something we just culturally don't know about - and that ambition is something I respect tremendously.

Waiting for Scorn 2 Less Gigger, more Beksiński. Thank you James Stephany Sterling I will trust You on that and arm myself in patience, awaiting for the game that may never come :) I wish you kind people all that's good. For you, everyone at Jimquisition and every friendly face here I wish only good days to come. Cheers, Michał.

The game is divisive it seems as some really like its style, despite the substance. Also, Steph did a Steam Greenlight trailer review video on this back in summer 2016. Watch it on YouTube for some context on their disappointment.

Love your written reviews. Your voice is still unmistakably yours, yet so different. Reading them is always a pleasure.

I'm so bummed. I had (also) thought this was going to be an FPS for some reason (early marketing?) and was looking forward to fighting my way through a Giger world.

Oof. I was afraid that this game was going to be style over substance. Mind you, with the potato I have for a graphics card, I wasn't going to be playing Scorn anyways.
