Signalis (on Switch)
The music, the sounds, the visuals create a perfect mood. I’m not far into the story, but for now it’s very intriguing. One of the few games where I don’t mind the backtracking. Despite the retro look, the game is very immersive.
There is some clunkiness tho. Might be better on a PC.
If you like sci-fi with a bit horror, ambiguous storytelling, gloomy atmosphere, try it.
For what it's worth, I found the PC vers clunky also. I wanted to get into it more than I did unfortunately.
It's not game breaking. the clunkiness shows in combat situations, but you can just do 'dark souls run past the enemies' in most cases. I like this game for the atmosphere and story mostly.
This game has been on my steam wishlist for quite a while. Looks like it'll scratch that old school resident evil itch.
I wasn't a big fan of the old RE games (could never get used to fixed cameras), but Signalis works for me. Still haven't finished it, free time seems precious commodity these days, but come the next weekend I'll hopefully definitely will have the time to continue the game.
I found the game very rough around the edges, and had to look at an internet guide to tell me where to go in the last level, but it's a game really worth playing for the atmosphere and story alone.
There's a great video essay on YT that takes a deep dive into the story and symbolism of the game, which I really recommend watching after finishing the game, if you're into that form of content. A complete story breakdown of Signalis.
