In this review Alexx discusses how Pulse is a game that tackles interesting subject matter - "There aren’t many games out there that tackle the subject of blindness, and while Pulse’s gameplay seems more like a tech demo than an actual game, the atmosphere it creates tackles the concept perfectly."
Chalgyr's Game Room writes:
Pulse gets its core principles right, but as a fully realized game, the title is somewhat lacking. The concept is cool, but its short campaign and limited mechanical growth makes Pulse feel more like an idea than a fully realized game.
Games like The Unfinished Swan & Beyond Eyes as of recent — though certainly not major hitters — are trying to build foundation and alongside such console releases, the PC-exclusive Pulse follows in as much the same vein.
Bryan takes a look at PixelPi's Pulse, a game that puts the player in the role a blind young woman.
