May 25, 2017Perception is a memorable horror experience that thrives because of its unique setup and gameplay. Although more unsettling than downright terrifying, Perception managed to keep me on the edge of my seat, forcing me to solve a compelling mystery by facing what lurked in the dark.
-
May 25, 2017Innovative but quite repetitive horror adventure. Blindness as game mechanic is fascinating, but can't really shine.
-
Jun 6, 2017Perception is an original game concept with its blind character, but it fails too much in core aspects of the terror genre such as the game mechanics or the history itself.
-
Jun 30, 2017The premises (a blind character, a creepy house, an evil spirit) were good, but Perception falls short as survival horror and as an intriguing walking simulator.

Jun 30, 2017Perception fails in two very crucial areas, story and gameplay. It was supposed to put us in the unique role of a blind person, yet it fails to convince us at that. For one the use of echolocation more or less works so much better than a flashlight. As far as the story goes, Cassie here and there shouts “What am I doing here?” and we couldn’t agree more with this sentiment.
-
Jun 1, 2017Video games offer their own models for empathetic storytelling by allowing players to take on different identities and it’s a healthy sign of the medium’s maturation for players to be given more opportunities to explore characters who are not minimally-flawed, super-people.
-
May 25, 2017It isn't fun, it isn't scary, it isn't insightful, and the narrative is mediocre at best if not disconnected and a bit offensive.
