Pursuer is an early-access mystery investigation game that players appreciate for its atmospheric, mysterious exploration and decent asset polish, but it's hampered by significant bugs that prevent progression and a lack of clear objectives or tutorial guidance that leaves players confused about what they're supposed to accomplish. The empty, dismal map has potential for intrigue, but the combination of technical issues and unclear gameplay mechanics makes it difficult to recommend in its current state.
It seems [u]Pursuer[/u] is still in a development stage. As such, I intend this review to serve as constructive feedback and to provide a sense of what I found enjoyable thus far. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game at this point of its development because of two 'game-breaking' bugs (for lack of a better term), among other minor complaints. That being said, playing Pursuer was not all doom and gloom. The game is shrouded in a mysterious cloud that prompted me to explore and understand it as much as I could. The main issue with Pursuer is that there are two technical mishaps that render the player unable to continue playing. In Pursuer, you arrive to an investigation site where you must uncover the identity of a mass murderer. There's four locations - a hospital, a laundry, a church, and a military hospital - and between those areas, there are multiple campfires which serve as rest spots to recover health.

While the game seems to be slapped together with a bunch of asset store canned assets, it has been polished well enough that it works (although there are reports that some of the core game mechanics are bugged badly enough that the game can't be completed properly). Gameplay itself is problematic, while you can walk around, it's completely unclear what you're doing, what goals you have or what you should be trying to do to accomplish them. There's no tutorial, so you need to work out why you have "stuff" that you can inject yourself with and why you have some sort of PKE meter or something that shows you numbers if you point it at stuff. I had no idea what was going on. This might all well be good for a demo or a school project but the developer seems to be trying to sell this off as a complete product, when it certainly doesn't feel like it is. You can get a lot better games for the o…4 found this helpful
