    This game is not good. poor gameplay, boring jenky enemies, bosses easy and feel out of place, music doesn't match gameplay or style, tedious to playthrough for more than an hour. Not to mention the optimization issues making the game freeze slightly after every revolver kill. Only gimmick to make it fun is playing multiplayer, but same could be said for any game, good or bad, playingThis game is not good. poor gameplay, boring jenky enemies, bosses easy and feel out of place, music doesn't match gameplay or style, tedious to playthrough for more than an hour. Not to mention the optimization issues making the game freeze slightly after every revolver kill. Only gimmick to make it fun is playing multiplayer, but same could be said for any game, good or bad, playing anything with friends if more fun. Just because it looks cool in screenshots and videos because of Unreal engine, doesn't make it fun to play. Also, just because the game has 2 developers, is not an excuse for not knowing how to make a fun game, Binding of Isaac had 2 developers and is still an amazing and genre defining game, DUSK and Amid Evil had 1 developer each and are exceptional games. Negative reviews are accurate on Steam, the positive reviews seem to copy and paste each other that repeat, "2 developers". "don't listen to negative reviews", "fun", and etc. Very disappointing release.… Expand

    Nice visuals, poor gameplay, meh. Wait for steam sale or until developers make the game fun.

    The game is dead. There are no players online. If you are lucky to find them, they are a group of friends who will kick you out of the game. Of the 18 hours I played, about 5 hours were spent searching for a game. 3 hours playing online with someone, 10 hours playing the same levels by myself with no way to unlock anything to advance.

    El juego está muerto. No hay jugadores online. Si tienes suerte de encontrarlos, son un grupo de amigos que te echarán de la partida. De las 18 horas que he jugado, unas 5 horas me las he pasado buscando partida. 3 horas jugando online con alguien, 10 horas jugando yo solo los mismos niveles sin posibilidad de desbloquear nada que me permita avanzar.

    Visuals hit different than what you're used to with recent retro shooters. Gameplay feels a bit oldschool and it's core is solid enough to make this an enjoyable ride, ideally with friends.
    Sure, this is no masterpiece and has its kinks and dents but all in all it is fun.

    Overall, Perish is a game that achieves conceptual brilliance and incorporates it down to the finest detail in many areas. Unfortunately, it stumbles when it comes to the execution. Some poor gameplay decisions hold it back, notably enemy design and spawn rates. It’s entirely possible that with future updates, the game will heal its scars, but for now, they run deep, blemishing the gameplay; yet, the aesthetics remain immaculate.

    PERISH is one to four-player co-op FPS game with hints of rogue-lite. The game can be really fun and is mostly great to play with three to four other players. At the same time, the game crumbles under its many problems of bad matchmaking, bugs, bad objectives and bad enemy spawning. This game can oscillate from fun to frustrating throughout the experience. Buy it on a sale with your buddies.

    Perish is a game that can accomplish its objectives but requires a lot more polishing. The game offers a great way for up to four players to enjoy a shooter experience in which you can face off against several hellish creatures cooperatively. While those are definite pluses, the aforementioned issues can take players away from the experience.
