"SOS (Sad Owl Studios) and Thunderful are today very happy and proud to announce that their acclaimed first-person puzzle adventure, "Viewfinder" (a title which was released earlier this year on PS5 and PC), is now available for the PS4 via PSN." - SOS (Sad Owl Studios) and Thunderful.
These games probably deserve more of your attention than they got.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "All told, Sad Owl Studios is doing something right if its debut title's closest comparison is the Portal series; even if not measuring up across each individual aspect, it's an exceptional achievement regardless. While choice presentational and story decisions slightly blur the final image, it's impressive how much ingenuity and mind-twisting logic could be squeezed out of what started as a design student's neat discovery. Even discounting the lens of Viewfinder's origin story, it's nevertheless an impressively-designed puzzler that'll leave an indelible mark on anyone's cerebral photo album."
The latest EDGE review scores for August 2023 include Exoprimal, Pikmin 4, and more.
Surprised at the relatively high Exoprimal score tbh. It doesn't feel altogether there.
Buddy of mine swears it gets better after 7-9hrs, give or take (he’s at 12hrs). I just can’t do that. But I’ll check it out next time I go to his place.
Sure. I joined a buddy's lobby recently and had some mindless fun with it. Even then, you can implicitly *feel* how it's not quite there with audio/visual feedback and polish. Plus, I'd be worse off by myself b/c you literally have to *grind* to unlock its better game modes - something I was forewarned about in some reviews.
Indeed, the reviews corroborate the grind needed to get to the goods. I’ll just piggyback off buddy’s save when the time comes. See how it looks and handles, at least. Then I’ll check out Remnant etc. He also picked up Atlas Fallen.
I picked up Atlas Fallen on a whim. I genuinely hope it's not a regrettable impulse buy.
