What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Mechanism is an interesting solo-developer game with decent graphics and storytelling that shows promise, but is held back by persistent technical issues including crashes, random deaths, audio glitches that reset between sessions, and problematic camera controls that cause motion sickness for some players. Players note the game feels slow and clunky, lacks clear direction, and has save system limitations, though some who played it years after release found it more stable than earlier versions.
Okay so I have been playing this game for a few hours and so far I think it is quite cool but the bugs and glitches just take out the fun for me right now :/ The game crashed randomly once, even though I didn't run anything in the background and I randomly died twice even though I wasn't infected or fell from something. Overall there are sometimes visual glitches that I don't mind too much. However the audio glitching does really drive me a little nuts. Whenever I adjust the sound effects and backgroundmusic in the settings they just apply for the session you play in. And sometimes the music completly glitches and randomly stops. Also any time you die the alarm clock in your room is reset and gives off again the beeping sound, even when you don't wake up in that room. Save feature also only sometimes seem to work for me, as it did spawn me somewhere far away from the photomachines at least three times. I also feel like the save feature is a bit clunky, because you have to manually go to a checkpoint to save. Plus I had the issue where items randomly dissapeared when I saved. By closing and opening the game they were there again but still :/ I am also playing on PC and the contro…5 found this helpful

Not Recommended1 found this helpful
I enjoyed this game. The graphics and sound were good, and the game-play was decent. A bit buggy at times, as some of the negative reviews talk about, but I didn't find it to be too bad. Especially for a game made by a single developer. I played it several years after it was first released, so I think the developer had already addressed many of the earlier issues. It could have benefited from having multiple save slots though, particularly for when you encounter one of the bugs. You can do a manual save at certain locations, but if you hit an auto-save point afterwards, it will be overwritten so you can't go back to it. Other than that I thought it was a good game, and I would recommend it.
[h3] Has potential but ... [/h3] I originally tried to play this a while ago and got terrible motion sickness so gave up. Decided to give this another go but had to stop after a few minutes. The camera zooms in & out, and spins uncontrollably even though I put the controls on min. I really wanted to enjoy this game as the graphics look good. From reading the forum the dev is no longer working on it.
