[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43362349/] Walking sim curator review: 1/10[/url] I love a good walking sim, but this sure as heck isn't one. I mean, it is a walking sim, but it isn't any good. The screenshots make it look as though it offers an amazing semi-abstract visual experience. But once you start playing, you realize that it is extremely vacuous, with no real rhyme or reason to anything, and an awful lot of randomly sprayed geometry. Still, at times, it is striking to look at. However, if the world isn't particularly visually coherent, the gameplay is even worse. They say the goal is hidden, but I think that, actually, there is no goal. You wander with no direction, and occasionally, you are warped from one visual landscape to another. Each time you are warped, the game forgets some of your settings. It's a shame, as it's clear the dev has a pretty good visual design sense. With a little bit more care and an actual game to play, this could have been—if not fantastic—at least worth it for people who like low-stakes gaming with pretty visuals. As it stands, with over four years since the last update, I don't think it's worth anyone's time.

Ok £0.79p. So I played 2h of Beyond The Underworld, for me it felt like an exploration experience, the kind of genre you want to buy for the way it makes you feel while playing. Obviously if you only focus on the bad things you won't have a nice experience. Of course a lot can be improved but if you forget about it, listen to the music and appreciate the colourful environments then its totally worth it. Sometimes being imperfect is what makes it perfect. I personally didn't encounter any bugs but I did end up falling off the map but it was my fault xD, my curiosity pushed me to go off route to look what was behind a mountain. This is just my personal opinion but I think the fact that the dev mentioned in a review that he was working on another project and kind of abandoned this game made people disappointed, I think if he made some changes even if it's just small ones like jump/run mo…

I was super annoyed by bugs that prevented me from progressing with the game... Good review to read: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Ylthin/recommended/1223380/

I initially backed this game on Kickstarter and played it when it first came out. Since then, I hadn't given it much thought, but stumbled across it again and decided to give it another playthrough. Beyond the Underworld is a simple game where you explore a version of the afterlife. It's a short experience that you can spend a few hours in, just exploring the environments and looking for some collectibles if you want to. Overall, it was a nice experience and just a chill game to spend some time in. The OST is also very well done and really helps with the atmosphere of the game, especially the final run up to Elysium. One thing I do wish for is to be able to track what collectibles you've already gotten and which levels the ones you are missing are in. But, especially if you're new to this, for only $1 it's worth it.

Very interesting to say the list and i like it.
