Revenant: Through The Veil

⠀

"Revenant: Through The Veil" is I think some kind of student project.. it's got all the usual attributes of a student project. Looks great, plays terribly, is unfinished and largely unmaintained. What do you do in the game? 3D platforming, lightweight combat stuff, some puzzle solving. But it's all janky, despite the okay visuals and interesting Egyptian theme. One of those mysteries where there's a jarring disconnect between the visuals and the actual quality. There's enough bespoke stuff here that I don't think this is an asset flip. The graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. Most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's usually some kind of monetisation, from nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, to any other number of shady pricing schemes that co…

Hello Players.. I went into this with an open mind and based on what I read and the visuals, I really wanted to like this game. I really did. Even with the other reviews panning it for the flat color scheme in the beginning (something I think is pretty standard for desert settings) I thought it had potential to be pretty. This is clearly a school project or something. The voice acting is slightly off from the captions and the quality/level mixing of the recording leaves much to improve. Even so, I could support the game if it weren't so damned clunky. Battle mechanics are terrible, no discernible hit boxes and no health measurement for your enemies. Your sword doesn't give much feedback as to whether or not you actually hit the thing or how badly you injured them. Jumping and movement mechanics are sluggish and non-responsive as well. I got through the mirror rooms just fine, they were painfully easy... but the reticle for the Eye of Ra might as well not exist because wherever you point the reticle, the beam will be off to the left every. Single. Time. What's the point in having a targeting feature if it means nothing? It wasn't clear until after several attempts that the reas…

Hi Community. From a far it seems like the time of motion picture has advanced into the realm of the super user. A egiptian love story ,a well made pieace of art. So it seems ,10 min into the game I got stuck in the first puzzle room. Feels like a Real Egiptian Trap (game) for me. Please make a guide on how to advance from the Mirror puzzle room.
