From VGC: "Scorn has one of the most beautiful worlds you'll see in a game (if you can see beauty in the grotesque). It's just a shame that world is also home to a frustrating puzzle-heavy adventure filled with aimless wandering."
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Kepler Interactive and Belgrade-based (Serbia) indie games developer Ebb Software, are today super thrilled and proud to announce that their philosophical atmospheric horror game “Scorn”, is now available for the PS5 via PSN." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Very lackluster game. Had high hopes for it, but it didn't cut it. Really only for people who appreciate the art of it all. It really doesn't deliver as the Myst title with obscene imagery it was trying to be.
This game is great, but it's not for everyone. It doesn't hold your hand nor does it try to be accessible, combat is slow and you are always at a disadvantage so if you do engage you must make your shots count because the penalty for missing is often dying and that can reset a lot of your progress. Puzzles are in my opinion the best part, there are enough of them, they offer a good challenge and are also the best moment to appreciate the art style of the game.
The closest comparison that I can give would be with the original Echo Nights. And just like that game, I feel that you have to approach it with the mindset that it's not an action game and that you will get frustrated if you try to play it as one.

"This October, PlayStation 5 devotees will at last be able to delve into the unsettling universe of "Scorn", the acclaimed first person horror adventure. Ebb Software in collaboration with Kepler Interactive revealed the Tuesday, October 3rd release date during the Future Games Show at this year’s gamescom." - Ebb Software and Kepler Interactive.
Glad it comes to PS5, it was a really interesting experience.
Some parts were awfully bad, but it reaches some remarkable peaks. I think I'll replay it someday.
50$ is a crazy asking price. When it hits the 5-10$ bargain bin I may grab it then. I doubt it takes too long
I guess its awesome for players that care more about the visuals, but rather boring , maybe even frustrating for people that care more about gameplay.
We joke about Xbox exclusives being mediocre Game Pass filler but it keeps being true. Xbox need to get better at identifying bangers in development.
The game has only been announced for XS and PC. Hence, it's GP shovelware. Once it gets confirmed for PS5, it'll become an overnight GOTY contender (ala The Medium), mainly due to gimmicky dualsense features.
I am loving it so far. To each his or her own, but I like what they did here.
SMH, I never once heard anyone make a fuss about this game being great, all I ever heard was people saying hey liked the art style. All the gameplay footage that was shown beforehand had the same majority of people saying, either they didn't know what type of game it was, it looked boring, or taking a wait and see attitude. Somehow people are managing to make this into a MS problem, the same way with 'The Medium', it was made out to be an Xbox problem when MS teams had nothing to do with it, that game is on PS5 now, is it still an MS problem? or just an okay game problem?
Both games had a promise with good graphics, sound, and decent-level design. 'The Medium' even found an audience enough that it is being made into a T.V show. I can bet Scorn will also receive some level of success, if anything being on GP is actually helping these tiles that would have probably been largely ignored or faded into obscurity at normal MSRP.
