PC User Reviews

I was so invested in this world that I played through all of it in a single sitting. I could not put it down, I was so curious about everything and just in love with the worldbuilding and all that there is going on. The puzzles were fun if not a bit too easy and anticlimactic for how much work you do to set them up, and the enemies kinda just detracted from being able to slow down and really take in the world. Like everybody else says, the gameplay just isn't the greatest. However, its all forgivable just for the vibes.

Scorn - игра не про скримеры и каких то ужасных потустороних монстров, сама вселеная Scorn - один большой ужас. Пустой, бездушный мир, тысячи высушеных тел и ты - очередной мешок с костями, пытающийся всё исправить. Из плюсов: геймдизайн, левелдизайн, звуки, интересные механики и взаимодействия, монстры, звуки и окружение. Из минусов: худ мог бы быть лучше, глупые НПС, деревянное управление и конечно же непонятный и молчаливый сюжет. Игра в любой момент времени держит в напряжении, в меру решаешь головоломки, в меру стреляешь по адским отродьям. Хорошая игра для любителей жанра "Horror", стоит пройти и просто геймерам, для любителей быстрого геймплея и ярких красок - не подойдёт.

A breath taking, incredibly immersive, terrifying and deeply disturbing experience. Puzzles actually make sense despite not being blatant. All the progression and story-telling goes throught the beautifully crafted envionment with great fluidity. It's easy to feel lost in such a grotesque and sinister environment but it does the job very well to guide you thanks to the thoughtful level design. The cosmical horror in this game is very much intense and (if you use headphones) you'll easily feel completely immerged into this world of endless suffering. the SFX teams and music composers really did an amazing job to transmit almost-constant terror and nailed every suspensful transition between all those spectacular places and landscapes. Puzzles are logical and adapted to their environments; they narratively serve a purpose in their world. Some of them tends to be more more complicated than others but you just need patience, reflection and most importantly paying attention to your surroundings. Art direction is fully integrated with gamplay mechanics. It's rather a short game but honestly its lengh is great like this. It's a constant high-level of details and quality from the start to the finish. As for the narrative, I'd rather just recommend you to play it. Go throught everything and make your own interpretation of it afterward. Read and admire the artbook if you want to have a better understanding of the world and the story it tells.

Scorn es un juego que estuvo anunciado durante tanto tiempo que al final no sabemos si fue culpa del hype que fracasara tan salvajemente. Hay algunos elementos redentores. Visualmente es una maravilla y se puede jugar como una especie de walking simulator. Quizá es un error conceptual interpretar este juego como un shooter. Una manera de afrontarlo sería evitar los enemigos y disfrutar de los puzzles (aunque tampoco son particularmente inteligentes). Es un juego horrible diseñado por artistas magistrales y un juego que no acaba de entender si es puzzle, walking simulator o shooter. Probablemente intentó ser un poco de cada para vender y ahí es donde reciben la mala puntuación. La parte de caminar es una oda visual a todo el imaginario de Giger y un recuerdo de que quizá hay medios que no son compatibles entre sí. Una lástima porque no tuvieron claro hacia donde dirigían un proyecto lleno de potencial.

Looks interesting, feels awful to play. Just wandering around until you find the next thing to interact with.

es muy meh, lo mejor es la estética y las visuales pero todo el resto deja mucho que desear

Truly excellent visuals and sound design. Zero hand-holding; it simply drops you into a bizarre new world and you learn how it works by observing and doing. I especially like how the mechanical designs have an overarching common theme, and after being in the game for awhile you will begin to "think like one of them" and will begin to understand what certain machines or puzzles are about much faster than when you've just begun. The combat is awful though. I wish they had just not even bothered, because it's really quite bad, and drags you out of the otherwise excellent experience every single time you have to fight (and you have to fight a lot more than is really necessary).

Абсолютный гримдарк и лучшая игра в стиле био-панк. Концовка - катарсис. Сильнейший арт дизайн, я такого ни в одной игре прежде не видывал. Игровой процесс базовый и не сильно отвлекает от изучения гротескного мира.

TLDR: It doesn't have a story line and it doesn't show you where to go at all, it just throws you into a horror world and expects you to figure it out yourself with mechanics that make 0 sense. This is the weirdest game i've ever played. If you like puzzles give it a try. No hints, no explanation on almost everything you do, why you do it. Combat is janky, Only positive i found is the art style and audio.

A grotesque art exhibit masquerading as a game. The H.R. Giger-inspired visuals are undeniably striking, but that’s all it has going for it. Clunky puzzles, tedious backtracking, and combat so bad it feels like an afterthought. The "atmospheric horror" evaporates into sheer boredom after the first hour.

Scorn was an interesting experience. I really liked the atmosphere and its strange world. The puzzles were cool and fit well with the environment. At first, the lack of an interface was confusing, but over time it started to feel natural and added to the immersion. What didn’t work so well for me was the combat, it felt awkward and kind of out of place compared to the rest of the game. Overall, I liked the mood and design more than the actual gameplay.

Stunning graphics and great performance also on older hardware. Lacking gameplay and annoying mini-puzzles.

If you're a fan of Giger, you should play the game. If you like body horror, you should play the game. If you wait for some breakthough experience, you better skip it. If you are in for aesthetically pleasing projects, this one is for you.Spoiler Alert!For me, it felt anticlimactic and annoying (the idea of a first protagonist-parasite).

how much weed must one smoke to think this is a good game? cause it must be an ungodly amount.

I have to say, I love movies that don't explain themselves through the story, for example Cube1 1997. I do the same with computer games. It's not a horror first-person shooter with puzzle mechanisms, but the other way around. Great atmosphere, great graphics, and much disturbing. Unfortunately a bit short playing time. Nevertheless absolutely recommendable.

Do not play this game for the sake of visuals! The best way to enjoy this game is purely via screenshots. There is nothing to see but several scenes. Gameplay itself is horrible in the worst way possible. Shooting feels awful, puzzles are too simple and have no growth in complexity. Even death takes too long! I completely understand the idea of a powerless protagonist and its misery compared to a hostile world, but not at such a degree. Therefore, observing screenshots is the best way to enjoy this game.

Interesting in its flow, but ends abruptly with no sense. Gameplay is walking simulator with occasional battle intercourses. Battles are sometimes scripted and strange. The overall approach to the gameplay is unique and it would be great to develop this kind of approach in other quest alike games. The design is very unique, but for most part you feel the world around you is not interactive. Music and sound are great. The game is short and unfortunately the most disappointment is the lack of any story and idea, which leaves you empty after the finale. The potential was much bigger for this game.

Scorn is beautiful and terrifying! As a game it fails to hit it's mark, however as a art piece it is remarkable. It's almost as if the developers tried to add shooting mechanics to make the experience a game but it is best experience as a walking simulator exploring this amazing art work.

i just finished the game and i have mixed feelings about it. Scorn is a unfunny mess, but it definitely has soul. The art direction of the game is great, as is the worldbuilding and its lore (although quite cryptic to say the least). That being said: I hated the game more than once, I was getting lost in its abstruse puzzles and dying repeatedly in the 'shooting' interludes where the difficulty is not really calibrated. The game is at its best only in the final stages, but once again not for the gameplay. Don't get me wrong, I love the art side of games, I'm a composer myself, but developers tend to forget that this is secondary to the gameplay (for me and for a lot of players at least). 6.5/10

The artwork is amazing, but the game lacks engaging gameplay elements. The puzzles aren't particularly strong, and the weapons feel clunky. It's possible to get soft-locked in certain areas, forcing you to restart the level. The final chapter lacks enjoyment, and the ending feels unsatisfying. The story doesn't provide much depth. However, I love the works of Zdzisław Beksiński, and the game seems heavily influenced by him. The setting is excellent, and progressing through the game was intriguing. For the sake of the environment, sound, and level design: 7/10.

It's basically unplayable without a walkthrough. It's got nice looking visuals and good optimization, but like I said, the gameplay consists of interacting with things you don't know what they do and desperately hoping to progress. Honestly, I see wasted potential, it could have been a very successful game with an intuitive gameplay with a real story, or a good animated movie. But as it is, it's just a boring waste of time as it's all puzzles, blindly and without any direction.

Incredible game. Not fo all, great atmosphere, inmersive game. Is excellent for me, an unic experience

La ambientación es acojonante pero el juego no se entiende, los puzzles no tienen sentido y el combate...

What an awful game. I cannot believe people actually enjoy staring at walls walking around with very little to do. One of the worst games I think I've ever played. Save your money and go buy something worth your time, because this isn't it. The only pro I'll give this is the graphics look "okay". I'm not shocked that most of the reviews here are probably also people fond with apps such as Tiktok. It's sad that the world can't think for themselves and they'll flock to these garbage games to give them good reviews to please only their Tiktok sugar daddy.

Wonderful design, but frustrating combat. Seriously, I don't give a **** about it's monsters, I just want to appreciate the architecture.

Has the CONTROL dilemma of having a ridiculously fascinating setting but making it insufferable with **** gameplay.

It's growing on me, at least it holds things, but does it have to be so harsh?

Das hier ist einfach nur ein Grafik-Blender. Das Game sieht unglaublich gut aus hat aber inhaltlich und vom Gameplay her nichts zu bieten. Das ist alles so träge und langweilig hier. Und vom Kern her ist es einfach ein Walkingsimulator mit Puzzleelementen. Das Gunplay ist furchtbar. Ich hatte mich ewig auf das Spiel gefreut und dann kommt diese uninspirierte Grütze.

Really cool art that does carry the entire game, but that is where the positives end. Boring gameplay with abysmal gunplay. Uninteresting puzzles and it tops it off with an entirely dull story.

Una ambientación muy interesante, que es desperdiciada gracias a una jugabilidad horrible y una trama mediocre. Encima el juego es corto y no te dan ganas de volverlo a jugar (no tienes ningún incentivo para hacerlo). En fin, no os lo recomiendo ni estando en rebajas.

Makes you feel gross, they put many things with some kind of infection with mechanical thing

sono riusciti a ricreare un'ambientazione horror meravigliosa molto disturbante, enigmi non originali ma interessanti,versione pc ben ottimizzata, le poche sequenze action sono mediocri e il gioco risulta essere breve, il gioco è da 6 e mezzo

I was really looking forward to Scorn, but was extremely disappointed. The graphics are excellent, as are the sound and the atmosphere. But in terms of gameplay, Scorn is a total letdown. Not only do the surroundings look the same everywhere and you constantly get lost, but important locations or switches are often forgotten in the jumble of textures and static objects. The environment is repetitive and not memorable. Just endless tunnels that always look the same. Even when you've solved a puzzle, you often don't know what to do next and end up wandering around again without a plan. I requested a refund after just under 2 hours. Scorn doesn't make me want to play any more and doesn't motivate me in any way.

Scorn is a game that tries to be more than just a walking simulator by including puzzles and truly frustrating combat. While the visuals and atmosphere is quite good, and the story is generally well thought through, the gameplay takes away from all of this by being menial and not allowing the player to interact with the environment as much as could be achieved.

Scorn was one of my most anticipated games from the moment its first concept art was revealed. After 7 long years in development, it went straight onto Xbox Gamepass. With a weak launch and mixed reviews coming out the same day with its only 6-8 hour completion time, the game seemed massively underwhelming. After playing it through twice a literal year after its release I can 100% say it was massively underwhelming. The game takes closer to 8-10 hours to complete on the first playthrough and 6-8 hours on the second. The story is boring and pointless, the art design is inspired but not super detailed, and the mechanics are frustrating.

Great atmosphere, visuals and sound design. Good puzzles. It takes five or six hours to complete. I recommend.

An experience unparalleled. A truly unique product that may not be for everyone but it is absolutely for me.

Jogo super diferenciado, com um mecânica e atmosfera única, foi uma experiência única que jogaria muito mais se fosse maior, e isso é uma pena, só não dou nota maior por ser muito curto.

Nope.

It's better to watch eXistenZ or a walkthrough on YouTube or play Dead Space because Scorn is boring. There are some grotesque elements and a bit of disgust, but the gameplay is dull. So, it's enough to watch it on YouTube, and it's still boring. The storyline is convoluted, the character moves slowly, and the puzzles are simple but somewhat unique. The sound is mainly buzzing. I played for 2.6 hours, watched the rest on YouTube, and I don't feel tempted to finish it.

This is an Excelent game!!!!! Everyone showld try it. It's a great addition into my gaming story <3. Puzzles are incredible good! And the PC version is really smooth.

First of all: If you want a puzzle game - recommend If you want an action game - skip If you want a metaphorical short story - recommend If you want a gore game - recommend if you want an artistically amazing game - exceptional With that aside, puzzle games are not really my thing, I tend to like to know what to do and where to go. The art style is amazing and it ran almost 60fps stable in a medium pc.Glad I played in game pass, because it's not worth the 40€ price tag - maybe 15€-20€

*barely recommended* Often visually striking, Scorn's biomechanical look would do H. R. Giger proud. However, this surreal look can grow to feel a little samey at times and the detailed geometry can often camouflage the few interactive objects in the game. Plodding and sometimes dull, Scorn doesn't offer anything in the way of tension and is only superficially horrifying to those squeamish to gore. Initially the game offers no combat and the level design is weaker than later in the game, making me wonder how many gave up on it before it really starts to get going. Not that my 7+ hours with Scorn ever left second gear. The slow pace and surprisingly unemotional combat feels almost like a grind. It was the visuals that kept me going, along with the bizarre story that Scorn barely hints at. Thankfully, the game ends better than it starts, but since it starts fairly rough…that's hardly high praise. I think horror fans would get something from this game, at least from the visual thrills and squishy environments. It is relatively easy and the puzzles never stumped this action gamer. You aren't playing Scorn for riveting gameplay, but the visuals and short runtime make it a memorable experience at the very least.

I absolutely love the visual style. Unfortunately, the gameplay is boring and frustrating.

o jogo não é completamente ruim, a ambientação é muito boa , arte e level design é incrível , mas a gameplay e o desenrolar são ruins , o combate e as boss fight são péssimas, a qualidade sonora é surreal de tão bom que é.

it's just a waste of time. You should not play this game if you love your time

Игра пройдена на уровне сложности – Нет уровня сложности. Какое атмосферное визуальное оформление, этот стиль ….. просто великолепно, а если бы не оптимизировали графику и дали возможность включать более четкие текстуры и использовать RT, было бы просто невероятно. А что же сама игра? Неплохое приключение жаль, что короткое, приятные, не сложные головоломки, странная и, пожалуй, ненужная, в таком виде, стрельба, но, нет подсказок и это замечательно, и атмосфера, такая чужая и непонятная, что это просто – фантастика. Такие игры крайне редки и от того, остаются в памяти как новый неизведанный опыт, а это здорово. Оценка: 7,5/10

One of the best Game of the year. Gameplay fps max with puzzle. It is not a shooter but more like a walking simulator Puzzle game . stories is a twisted nightmare

I'm stuck at the brightness screen. Clicking on accept or pressing enter is not working. So i'm not even able to enter the main menu. Nuff said i would say about this masterpiece! Stay away from this software junk.

[PL] 6/10 - Niezła (po graniu 5,5h i ukończeniu gry) Fajne wizualnie doświadczenie. Bardzo ciekawie zaprojektowane lokacje, wizualnie niczym z concept artów, nawet graficznie aż za bardzo. Wszystko wygląda jak narysowane, przez co naprawdę rzadko budzi obrzydzenie/niepokój. Nieskomplikowana fabuła, bez słownej narracji, raczej częścią przedstawionego świata niż czymś samodzielnym. Zagadki logiczne w porządku - łatwe, stosunkowo satysfakcjonujące, a niektóre mają kilka rozwiązań. Krótka. Walka przeciętna, tylko kilka broni i ich praktyczna strona jest zwyczajna i nudnawa. Wszyscy przeciwnicy upierdliwy i nie ma ich zbytu wielu. Bywało trudno, bo łatwo przegapić moment, od którego możemy się leczyć, to jak spacerują przeciwnicy lub w sposób na zadanie obrażeń bossowi. Gdy wiemy co i jak, jest raczej łatwo - nie jest to zrobione w satysfakcjonujący sposób. Pojedyncze niedoróbki: - Raz by pchnąć wszystko dalej było konieczne podejście do czegoś bardzo nierzucającego się w oczy. - Raz po bossie nie mogłem "go" użyć, więc musiałem wczytać i pokonać go ponownie. To mogłoby być wyjątkowe doświadczeniem w VR, zwłaszcza jakby niektóre fragmenty cutscenek zyskały interaktywność - wielka szkoda, że ma możliwości zagrania w ten sposób. PS: Ustawienie graficzne "postprodukcja" na wysokich ustawieniach znacząco spłyca głębie obrazu - warto ustawić średnie lub niskie. Ustawienia FOV ukryte w ustawieniach sterowania i kamery - bez zmiany czułem się jakbym szurał po wszystkim mordą.
