Gnome Light

I figured out how the controls work, and almost got through the exit of level 1, but the gnome lost half his body, and then the game crashed. Also, you can't exit the game without force-closing and crashing it.

Gnome Light is a buggy, incoherent, incomplete feeling third person action game that looks suspiciously like a Digital Homicide style asset flip, you know, where they put a bunch of stock assets in a blender and try gouge gamers for the resultant mess they pour out. It's highly unlikely given the low quality of the game here that they came up with their own assets... but they certainly never credited anyone but themselves for the game. Sus. You control a gnome... you can jump, and fling a light ball (and make it come back to you) but it's not clear what this does or why you would want to do it... there's no tutorial, or interface for the game at all that I could see. As I said, it's an incoherent mess. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics…

Gnome Light. I can only make a terrible attempt at expressing the inexpressible about the beauty of this game, the love it makes me feel. I love its orbs of light, its ephemeral nature, the indecipherable controls, the brutal jumps, the righteous crashes. The music graces the ears for seconds at a time, before mysteriously fading out at seemingly random intervals. But of course nothing is random. It is the vision of an auteur. It is a story of an elderly gnome at the end of his life, where he recounts a life lived to the fullest. The boy he's been, the dog owner, the green student and scholar. I will admit that I did not get further than the first level because this game did not find me worthy to witness the rest, so take my humble review with a grain of salt. I've been humbled and forever changed. Also it's a soulslike.

An unplayable, broken mess.
