Void Memory

It has an interesting dark atmosphere, but poor controller support and clunky mechanics make it more of a weird experience than an enjoyable one.

Void Memory is a dark action RPG that puts a lot of emphasis on exploration, combat and gradually uncovering the world around me. It has a deliberately mysterious atmosphere, and rather than explaining everything immediately, it encourages me to piece together what is happening as I move through its hostile environments. What I enjoyed most is the combat. It feels responsive enough that I can focus on positioning, timing and choosing the right moment to attack instead of simply overwhelming enemies with repeated hits. Exploring unfamiliar areas is more interesting because I have to stay alert, and tougher encounters give me a reason to learn enemy patterns rather than blindly rushing forward. The atmosphere does a lot of the heavy lifting too. Void Memory has a bleak, mysterious presentation that suits its world, and the environments often feel more interesting because I am not completely sure what I am going to encounter. There is a satisfying sense of discovery when exploration reveals a new area, enemy or piece of information that helps make the setting feel larger than it initially appears. The main issue is that the game can be rough around the edges. Some of the systems an…

Игра 'Void Memory' - это атмосферное и загадочное приключение, которое погружает игрока в мир потерянных воспоминаний и сюрреалистичных ландшафтов. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в приглушенных тонах, создает ощущение меланхолии и неопределенности, идеально подходящее для исследования заброшенных областей и решения головоломок.

Сюжет развивается постепенно, раскрываясь через обрывки диалогов и визуальные образы, заставляя игрока самостоятельно собирать воедино картину прошлого. Особо стоит отметить звуковое сопровождение - эмбиентные мелодии и приглушенные звуки создают давящую атмосферу, подчеркивая чувство одиночества и потерянности. Несмотря на то, что игра может показаться медленной и медитативной, она обладает своим шармом и способна зацепить тех, кто ценит атмосферные игры с акцентом на нарратив и исследование. Эта игра останется в памяти надолго.

"Void Memory" is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This is a very badly made platformer attempting to ripoff far superior games like Salt + Sanctuary with "soulslike" difficulty, and this does have a lot of difficulty... in appealing to gamers. I's clunky, unfun, with phoned in pixelcrap graphics... I guess this is a console reject or something. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and th…
