Bright Memory

Stay tuned for an even brighter one...

Bright Memory is a short FPS with surprisingly satisfying combat. The shooting feels great, and the fast-paced gameplay is a lot of fun. The dodge mechanic is a cool addition, although accidentally triggering it by double-tapping a movement key can get annoying. The story is probably my biggest issue. There isn’t much context or explanation, so it can be pretty confusing. Hopefully, Bright Memory: Infinite expands on the story and gives more context. The graphics are also quite impressive, especially for such a short game. Overall, I enjoyed my time with it.

A worthy video game to get on a deep sale, because: [olist] [*] It's very fun, but very short - first run took 38 minutes. [*] Generally, looks and sounds great, though the main character's model needed more polish; [spoiler] some may consider her Waifu. [/spoiler] Also, there are cosmetic outfits for the main character that enhances the experience. [*] Performance is outstanding for an UE game, and it works without any tweaking or issues on Linux with [url=https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton11-7] GE-Proton11-7. [/url] [/olist]

It was pretty fun to play however, it is too short of a game. The menu where you unlock new abilities/skills looks weird and feels kinda clumsy to me, BUT on a sale it is definitly worth it.

Small intro for the main game

Recommended. A half-hour first-person shooter/melee hybrid from a single developer, priced as a game but openly a tech demo, and the craft inside it justifies the price. Ray-traced fire, water reflections and lightning-drenched ruins come from one person, the power sandbox (EMP launches, grapple pulls, lightning, time freeze, sword combos) reshapes every encounter, and the shotgun fires as fast as the trigger can be pulled. Purchased skills persist across runs, and costumes plus collectibles pad the replay. The final boss crams a bullet-reflecting scrap into the smallest arena in the game, a grapple into an ammo pickup can soft-lock a speedrun through the floor of the world, and 26 to 35 minutes of content ends unresolved. Judge it as the demo it is and it plays better than its scope has any right to allow.
