The Bradwell Conspiracy

~4-hour walking and building a bridge sim with some timed sections, because that's what people playing these games want. when the first sentence and 'feature' on the store page is 'created by an international, award-winning team', you gotta be skeptical as hell. or expect much greatness if you're naive, believe marketing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or are impressed by excessive name-dropping. I was prepared for the usual 'all style, no substance, nor functionality' situation, but it's done almost well enough and works on win7 despite the stated win10 minimum. except [b]no manual saving, nor saving on exit, only checkpoints here and there, an instant dealbreaker[/b]. why can't you let me stop playing whenever I want without taking away progress? chapter selection fills up as you play, but 'chapter 2' without a description or screenshot is as useless as it gets. settings are available anytime. resolutions, windowed mode, overall gfx setting, v-sync, anti-aliasing, motion blur, texture and shadow quality, brightness, field of view slider, separate volumes, rebindable controls, head bob toggle, camera [i]senstivty[/i] (sic!), vertical/horizontal flip and vibration toggle. [b]subtitles are the only thin…

Did they forget the puzzles? This is just walking simulator! And when I say walking, I mean WALKING, long sections of going back through the parts you've been before at a snails pace. 4 / 10

Only get this if you enjoy fiddling around with useless controls trying to place things correctly to the millimetre while you constantly have an annoying voice in your ear prattling on and grating on your nerves. When this is over you will not have a sense of achievement, you will only regret that this is not a shooter and you could not kill the owner of that voice.

Don't really get the only 40% negative reviews for this. Feel like this is a pretty decent story and exploration focused walking sim with a bit of puzzling. I assume a lot of people thought this would be an actual puzzle game, which it really isn't.

This was... pretty good? I don't understand the current "mixed" rating at all. I suppose some people might consider it to be a bit too pricey if they're after something longer than 3-4 hours.

Very good game. Only issue is that the screen resolution options seem to be hardcoded and not comprehensive. Fortunately it's possible to modify the settings file to manually set the resolution.
