    This is a game in which you can explore, fail, succeed and keep repeating that. That sounds easy, but this is a very complex and rich RPG.

    Seven is a very good steath game with an interesting story in a vibrant cyberpunk world.

    Seven: The Days Long Gone is a unique mixture of genre and mechanics (action/RPG, stealth, parkour) that could have been a real revolution for the entire isometric RPG genre. Despite a lot of interest ideas the execution has to many flaws to really accomplish all of its ambitions.

    Seven: The Days Long Gone does a few things very well, but none of them involve the mechanics or gameplay at all.

    Everything about Seven is just a bit of a shame. Fool’s Theory has come so close, and in doing so proven itself the jack-of-all-trades, master of none. A game of this budget lives and dies on having one or two insanely unique or memorable standout features, and yet Seven lacks in this area. With the thousands upon thousands of games now at our fingertips, it’s never been harder for devs to get noticed. None of Seven’s particularly bad, it’s just not especially memorable.

    Seven: The Days Long Gone feels like it’s trying to break new ground at every turn, but in the process it makes some really bad choices and is executed poorly. Its action is acrobatic but almost immediately gets stale, climbing is only fun when the levels allow it, most crafting systems are needlessly obtuse, and its fast-travel system actively tries to kill you on a regular basis. Add to that the regular bugs, and Seven’s days are numbered.

Seven is a gameWhat do you get by crossing Witcher, Fallout, Planescape Torment, Thief and Commandos? That's right, you get this very game. Seven is a game that I always wanted to play - I can loot everything, kill anyone (but most of the time only if I manage to sneak up on them), craft stuff, climb obstacles and reach every part of the ground that I can lay my eyes on. Whoah! This game is AMAZING! But that's not all. I like to approach quests my own way and this is pretty much te first game that gives me that opportunity. I'm not forced onto one path. I don't have to sneak-kill all the guards and avoid security cams if I can kill one and change into his clothes. Or maybe I'll find another way around. Or talk to someone. Now that's the way of play I truly love. The creators must have been playing and hosting an awful lot of traditional RPG sessions.… Expand

    Stealth isn't working properly (terrible AI, awkward gameplay, collision issues, camera issues, infinite enemies respawns etc.) and the gameStealth isn't working properly (terrible AI, awkward gameplay, collision issues, camera issues, infinite enemies respawns etc.) and the game is really really full of bugs/broken mechanics.

    This BS site doesn't let me post reviews properly.

    There are many annoying things in this game. The isometric vision is not compatible such a large map like this. Maybe this is the main reason that orientation is very difficult in this game many times.

    The game does have the stealth element and it's somewhat broken but still quite fun!

    You are always spotted even if you are under disguise. That is the broken stealth mechanic IMO. But on if you crouch you won't be heard but can still be seen. You can crouch + run (which is an unusual way to move) but that is the way to be in stealth. Keep moving from hiding spot to the next one.

    Another way that stealth mechanic is broken is that you can see a very limited range of area around you. You can't spot an enemy moving towards you until it's too late. You can use your "sense" but it will slow down time, not stop it. Meaning that the enemy is still moving towards you. And you would need to keep doing it almost every 2 seconds if you truly want to spot an enemy from a little distance.

    I also found lots of crates that I could loot but hardly anything worth looting. It was all worthless junk except for a food item or two. That makes the looting mechanic broken as well.

    The worst offenders in the game are the broken map system the objective frequently disappears from the view. And the locked camera. You reach your objective but have no idea about which floor it is at.

    Also, there's a fast travel option that doesn't work. You need to manually activate each station and that involves searching for an unknown device that could be literally anywhere. It doesn't show up on the map.

    The upgrades are next. You can get upgrade devices on the map. But unlocking them is of no use unless you own that skill. And owning a skill seems impossible. I spent 15 hours and yet didn't discover any new skill.    … Expand
