I was really excited about this game. It was recommended to me after mentioning that I loved Hypnospace Outlaw. Broken Reality has a really cool early internet, vaporwave-ish aesthetic. Unfortunately, that aesthetic is just an skin on top of a relatively boring first-person puzzle adventure game. The theme really just doesn't work, in my opinion. The game looks like it's about a weird early internet metaverse zuckerworld, but mechanically, it doesn't make you feel like you're in one. The puzzles aren't particularly interesting, and the game world is nowhere near as interesting or engaging as it could be, given the theme.
