This game is currently in the Humble Choice for February 2022. If you are interested in the game and it's before March 1st, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A slow walk through remnants of the Nazis.
Paradise Lost takes place in an alternate history where Germany did a lot better in World War II. It’s also a walking simulator of the worst kind. It is a game that takes the walking part of the genre title way too literally and lets the player move at a snail’s pace, but don’t worry there’s a sprint button that walks at a snail's pace if it was on ice. And if you’re not sure that would make the snail faster, that’s exactly the problem.
This is a slow game, made slower because of the slog. Many interactable objects have to be triggered in the right position and looking in the right direction. The letters left behind are relatively uninteresting, and often drop German, possibly Polish, dialect whenever they care to. I gave up after about 40 minutes because I was getting bored with it, and annoyed because players are trudging through a Nazi bunker, but not in an interesting way. Forced to walk slowly through locations that should infuriate most people for what they stood for, doesn’t make a good game. This reminds me of the walking speed of Everybody's Gone to Rapture and that’s a bad thing.
Pick this up if you want to walk through nazi bunkers, and follow a story. The chapter titles talk about the stages of grief but doesn’t give a meaning for it yet, and I’m pretty firm on no longer being interested. Paradise Lost makes me think this game is trying to say this is some form of hell, and I’ve heard there's some Slavic mythology here? But I didn’t see anything worth continuing for.
