Pipreal

If I came to learn this was a form of malware I wouldn't be shocked, Nothing is done, almost nothing works, you can only successfully interact with the door to leave your room, a light switch, and that's it, there are holes in all the building where they didn't bother to connect pieces even the setting button doesn't work, how some reviews have several hours in this game is honestly a little suspicions to me. and with the devs last post being how they are now just looking to make a sequel. this is just not worth anyone's times -2/10

Pipreal is an atmospheric first-person exploration sandbox that transforms an ordinary-looking post-Soviet-inspired city into a playground filled with secrets, mysteries, and opportunities for experimentation.

There is no big list of missions constantly telling me where to go. I am mostly left to investigate apartment buildings, garages, shops, offices, basements and rooftops and see what I can find. The atmosphere is easily the best thing about it for me. Liftograd has that old Eastern European feel, with worn buildings, old equipment and a slightly uncomfortable feeling that something is not quite right. I like walking through the different areas and checking places that would normally just be background scenery in another game. The elevator is also a surprisingly important part of the experience, since I can actually use it and interact with its controls rather than simply pressing a button and watching a loading screen. That makes the building feel more like somewhere I am actually moving through. I also like the amount of freedom I have. I can use spray paint to leave graf…
