I picked up Signalis wanting to see what it was all about before it leaves game pass and I gotta say, it starts off really strong! I was hooked from the get-go, but the further I got into the game, all the little things started to really get to me. only having 6 slots for your items (all the items, also including the quest items that there are several of in many areas. even the flashlight takes one spot from your inventory, like really?) started to really annoy me. I felt like the game was mostly just me running back and forth between items and the safe room where you can stash whatever you pick up. also not having a map in one area at the latter half of the game was annoying because the enemies get off the floor after a while and I would have to go back and forth just to find the right room, which meant that I had to go through some unnecessary fights. I do understand why the design choice, but still.

I did really like the puzzles, the story, world and the atmosphere especially! I like the kind of cosmic horror mixed with gore aesthetic they're were going for, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for me to go through the rest of the game and I gave up at around 70% :(
