Dec. 2024

One of the best immersive sims I've ever played, even in its unfinished state. 100% pick this up if you're a fan of survival horrors or the old thief games, it takes the best from both and polishes them to a level I haven’t seen anywhere else, without sacrificing the challenge of those old games P.S. the tavern section with the big ass goat thing was the most on-edge I think I've ever been while playing a game, I was so tense at one point that my hand started shaking. Therefore I unfortunately have to give the game a 0/10 for making me cry and maybe also shit myself

Is Gloomwood a good game? Undoubtedly. This is the most polished EA game I have ever personally played. Virtually bug free with robust mechanics and a great homage to the immersive sims of the 1990s and early 2000s. There is probably nothing I could say to sing Gloomwood's praises that hasn't been said better by others, so instead I will voice my concerns. I am not a fan of how early access has been handled in this title. As we enter the second year of early access, we have received the fishery district, the caves, the ciffside and tavern (including lighthouse), the market (city), and the first half of the underport (city). All this amounts to around 7-8 hours of content. Simply put, this drip feed of content over such a large period of time has been excruciating for someone who isn't a fan of early access in general. I understand that GameDev is brutal and expensive. If not for Early Access, many games and ideas would not be able to see the light of day due to the prohibitive costs associated with making them a reality. My question is, what is appropriate to ask of your would-be consumers? What do developers owe them when asking them to pay full price for a game (Gloomwood is a steal at $20). A road-map or estimate of completion, I would argue, is the bare minimum. Gloomwood has no road-map and no guarantees beyond the news we get to see in developer updates. Presumably, this is because the Devs don't want to hold themselves to deadlines that may not be met depending on certain circumstances, and don't want to lock themselves in to ideas that they might realize are no good later down the road. I would like to ask the developers for a compromise. Please give us a large state-of-the-game update and an estimate of completion if possible. I am not a critic, I am a fan, and I know that I am not the only one who shares this sentiment. I am happy to support the devs, this Immersive Sim stuff is my favorite little niche of game design by far, and the game itself is fantastic. That's why, despite my grievances, I recommend Gloomwood.

this game keeps the true meaning of immersive sim close to its heart. that is, you can stack barrels to solve problems many times.

March 2024

Great game overall, would be much better if some things were done better, mostly the case and inventory management, as it punishes the player for playing well. I have on blood moon had many situations where for playing stealthily I have an excess of ammo and syringes so I can't take anything else with me and I have to drop items so i can progress to then backtrack and pick them up. I hope on future updates we can either buy a bigger case or the ammo boxes are changed so they are more loyal to what their textures suggest they could actually hold, like the pistol ammo box which lets you carry only 10 bullets, but there should fit 18 in there, or the shotgun boxes which only stack 5 shells, but 10 or 15 would fit without an issue. Other than this there's not really anything to improve, love the game as it is but those changes would be great, it wouldn't have much impact on encounters since going in guns blazing is mostly not a good idea, it would just make inventory management more manageable and less tedious

Feb. 2024

A few points about Gloomwood: - The level design is satisfying. - None of the intel gathered feels like it was there JUST for the player to witness. - The stealth mechanics are rock solid, well thought out and fair. - The story is intriguing. - The environment is eerie, and feels eminently hostile even when no danger is present. - The sounds approach perfection. In conclusion, play Gloomwood.
