Event Horizon (2024)

⠀

‎

"Event Horizon" is, well, hard to describe beyond "bad". I first thought this was a student project but there's no way students would publish something this awful... and that's saying something. This is obviously not to be confused with the 1997 sci-fi cult classic, "Event Horizon", but maybe the developers were trying to play a game of "Trademark Chicken" to see if they can cop a cease & desist. What do you do in the game? It's supposed to be a sci-fi "soulslike" meets "gravity gun" (black hole gun, whatever) thing... but the game is so janky and badly made it's just impossible to get into whatever first person action adventuring they were aiming for. You play as an amnesiac astronaut who wakes up disoriented in an unknown location among the cosmos, where your goal is to descend into the depths of the event horizon, trying to regain the astronaut's memories. Even though the game looks pretty bad (and decent visuals are a minimum requirement for any game), we can be fairly sure this is not an asset flip. This is because the game assets look so bad, no self respecting asset creator would publish them. That's a fail. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget…

The heck is this broken mess, can't even get to the second story achievement!
