WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Gylt is Stadia's first and currently only exclusive, and despite a strong unique visual, the rest of the game just feels uninspired."
Gylt finally scurries to the Switch but will this tale burrow deep into your psyche or will its school-based story be short of a scare?
"The Madrid-based (Spain) indie games publisher Tequila Works (the studio behind RiME and the upcoming Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story) and indie games developer Parallel Circles, are today very happy and excited to announce that their delicate horror/adventurer game “GYLT“, is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
A good Stranger Things type of game, but the devs screwed themselves over by going for a Google Stadia exclusive for many years.
The game is short but worth a play, cleared it 5 times, I'd be interested if there was a physical collector's edition.
True, and yes...Bad move imo.That's right, so there's that at least. I hear you ;) So let's wait and see what happens.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In spite of placing itself within a more limited "delicate horror" sub-genre, GYLT too often feels like an also-ran adventure. Most broad strokes in this tale can be predicted hours in advance, not much flavoring is added to the design after a certain point, and the usual enemies begin to feel more like cosplaying nuisances than unnerving monstrosities over time. It's a case of needing one more of… everything; another secondary building or floor, another boss, another multi-purpose tool for different gameplay opportunities, and so on.
These shortcomings don’t so much trample its commendable successes – especially in presentation, sincerity, and some quality design changeups – but rather illustrate how easy it is to intuit Tequila Works crafting a grander experience. As a result, it feels more like a title to be universally appreciated for its earnest aims than fondly treasured for its execution."
