The Dawning Clocks of Time® Remake

Somewhere under this mess a great game lives. Oh man, I want to like this game. But the controls are terrible. It is much easier to navigate with the keyboard than with the controller. The camera is fixed like in a PS2 game. One time near a locomotive I walked out from the view angle and I needed random inputs to get myself back. Tutorial messages are always delayed, so I didn't know what I was doing in my first fight and why wolves were in the city. Oh, and the heads. What with the heads? They never look where they should. This game isn't worth 48€. Maybe 20 and discounted to 10. It is a mess, but I'm rooting for devs to fix it. I will come back later to see if it happened Update: I change my rating because devs fix many of the bugs that I listed super fast, like in 3 days or so. Go team! I'll came back for a new review again after few more patch.

For reference these are my specs Intel Core i9-14900KF 32 threads - 6 GHz Graphics Card: GPU ManufacturerNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16 GB VRAM Memory: 64 GB RAM Edit after almost making it to the end and running into another game breaking bug. So I'm on the final boss who has regenerating life no matter how many times i hit it, I figured it was bugged so i go to reload a save. I made 3 saves just in case in different areas due to issue with saves. well now when i load into a save to try again I am in the air in space not even close to where i was suppose to be. on one of the saves it seems to have reset all the way back to where you enter a pink travel point to fight on an alien ship. i can't even see that gate anymore. I had saved it right before entering the last planet where you need 50 relics. game breaking now as i can't complete the game without a restart >< I know these developers are at least working on this but you can't charge the price you are asking for a poorly executed and unfinished game. I paid 50% off still way too much. 8.99 if you can actually complete it. good luck with that. so many bugs where to even start. You have form to complete for bugs but come on…

The Dawning Clocks of Time Remake from Spacefarer Games Ltd. is an ambitious reworking of an earlier indie project that attempts to broaden its identity into a cinematic, genre-blending sci-fi adventure. Rather than simply improving visuals or polishing mechanics, the remake significantly reshapes the original experience, combining elements of third-person shooting, exploration, and narrative-driven progression into a single package. The result is a game that feels expansive in scope and intent, even if that ambition occasionally leads to uneven execution. At the center of the experience is a story built around Sven Chandra, a bounty hunter caught in a conflict that spans planets, timelines, and existential threats. The narrative leans heavily into science fiction concepts, including time manipulation, powerful artifacts, and the looming destruction of celestial bodies. It aims to tell a large-scale story with personal stakes, blending character-driven moments with broader cosmic events. While the story is rich in ideas, it can sometimes feel dense, introducing concepts quickly and expecting the player to keep up with its shifting focus. For those willing to engage with it, howeve…
