Forgotten

It's a broken game

Paid 79 cents, on sale from 1.99. Hardware: i5 3570k, GTX 1070, Win 10x64, 16MB memory. Loaded fine, no crashes, played well on my 3440x1440 ultra-wide. I enjoyed this. It's a pixel-graphic side-view horror adventure, as the videos show. What they don't show is that it's very much like the old Atari 2600 game, [i]Adventure[/i]. Remember that one? You moved "Hero" through a series of rooms in which the various objects you needed to solve puzzles and escape the maze were scattered randomly about. You could only carry one object at a time. There were three roaming dragons that would chase and kill you, and a bat that flew around picking up random items. If the bat saw you, it would chase you to steal your item and give you whatever it was carrying, which was sometimes one of the live dragons (that really sucked. I still remember running from that damn bat 40 years later). This is largely similar in that you're in a house with multiple connected rooms, levels, and even sewers underneath. There are multiple objects scattered throughout that will enable you to open doors and solve other puzzles so you can progress through the maze. There's a monster roaming about who will chase you …

Not recommended. First off, the game has some good points, but they are outweighed by the not so good. The graphics are passable and the audio barely gets the job done. The game play and controls are very simple, but lack depth. The real drawbacks are the very poor writing, disjointed level design, save game locations that don't always work, 30 minutes length at most and it completely shuts down when you beat it giving the Alt F4 achievement so it would seem to be intentional. The overall presentation is just sub par. It's cheap, but even if it was free, I would say to take the pass on this one.

Forgotten is a lame and contrived 2D retro pixel side scrolling "adventure" puzzle game where you're up against a ho-hum haunted mansion plot and you negotiate this through basic dumbed down 2D adventuring that makes Day of the Tentacle look like a masterpiece (and for the time, it was). But also remember DOTT was made decades ago and this retro pixel crap wasn't, so no excuses for the game not meeting the basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. 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. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game u…

If you like horror and jump scares then this is a good option. Main downside is the unfortunate distanced saved game locations.
