    Scorn is a special experience for anybody looking to have their expectations subverted for what a good horror game can be. It is a gory, surreal, provocative dive into difficult or even taboo topics, and is wonderfully crafted, and near perfectly optimized. The game’s themes and visuals are challenging and extremely mature, but executed with great subtlety. The game is a technical marvel and concise as any horror game should be, so as to not overstay its welcome.

    Inspired by the works of Giger and Beksiński, Scorn is a visual masterpiece that will leave you uneasy, feeling defiled, possibly horrified. And worst of all – it will probably make you brood over uncomfortable things. It’s simply not a game everyone will enjoy. It will discourage some by exceeding the limits of good taste. Others will be too goal-oriented to take in the atmosphere, intellectually engaged in solving puzzles so much they’ll miss their consequences, too excited by encountering enemies to notice their weapons have an umbilical cord. But I’m sure some will appreciate Ebb Software’s captivating creation deeply.

    Scorn is a hard game to pin down, but it’s one I can’t help but recommend. It’s disgustingly alluring in its visual execution, with each new location bringing with it a waterfall of questions as you poke, prod, and cower at every discovery. This ambition of being artsy and cryptic can hold it back at points, but there’s something fiercely admirable in its artistic vision that few games in the genre are able to match. This is a tragic horror of Lovecraftian proportions, and one that really must be seen to be believed.

    Scorn is the classic case of a brilliant idea, diligently implemented which then lacks much of the content to be savored and enjoyed. The settings are excellent and cause great anguish, and the adventure around the exploration of these carnal and biomechanical tunnels is fantastic, but the shooting phases are faulty, the puzzles are repetitive and in some cases fillers, for a project with little longevity. Having put the nearly eight years of development on the table, it was reasonable to expect something more.

    Scorn works wonders with Giger's and Beksiński's artwork, not only in terms of aesthetic fidelity but in creating a world that's utterly strange to exist in. This is a violent, painful, but fascinating place, thick with symbolism and interlocking puzzles that hint at some terrifying grand design. While it can be overly obscure and frustrating, especially in combat, Scorn serves up one hell of a journey.

    Scorn isn't necessarily scary, but it is gross and uncomfortable. You may not like what's on the screen, but there's no denying that Ebb has thought long and hard about the world it's presenting and has succeeded in creating a cohesive and fully-formed offering.

    Finishing Scorn does not leave players with a sense of satisfaction; it's not scary and it's not fun. Most will be glad that it's over, and at least it's mercifully short. It only takes about five hours to beat Scorn, and our playthrough ended with us earning 11 out of 12 of the game's achievements. Scorn gives players absolutely no reason to return to it, and quite frankly, it doesn't offer much reason to play it even once.

    Sin duda no es para todos, muestra un giro diferente a lo perturbador, simplemente como una historia de Ito, extraña y divertida.

    Gameplay is weak, but the atmosphere is probably the best I've played in recent years!

    Absolutely unique and wonderful game, or interactive art as I have seen people call it.

    You will either love it or hate it but you won't forget it so easily as you do with Ubisoft/EA/Bungie/Gearbox/Arcane/Activision/etc. trash.

    Антитеза Stray

    Проект выдержанный муками разработки и абсолютно таким же настроем внутри себя, «Scorn» обволакивает неизбежным концом ещё в первые минуты игры. Если провести перекрёстный огонь между восьмилетним страдальцем и пушистым комком киберпанка в лице Stray, то поиск потаённого в утробах первого органичнее, но органика предоставленных механизмов как-будто связывает невидимой пуповиной с летним собратом и ремаркой “для своих”, где у второго тех, кто в теме гораздо-гораздо больше. Поэтому для отстранённых заставлять себя находиться в мире, что не даёт продыха даже на минуту с методом тыка, будет тяжелее, чем в относительно цветастом неоновом клубке проводов, где затяжное мурлыканье оправдывает казуальность происходящего фразой «У меня лапки».
