This game got way too much attention, because it is so clearly not the average person's preferred gaming experience, and I understand that many people that were looking for something else were disappointed. Scorn is uncomfortable and disgusting and gross and beautiful and sad and has just like a huge cock on full display for like 3 minutes. If this game was like 20 dollars and had like a quarter of the marketing, it would be a cult classic. In this universe though, it's the perfect game pass game and a very unique experience.

This is how you do it! Most developers can't seem to fathom the idea of a horror game with good gameplay. Even Frictional Games have struggled with this in the past with The Dark Descent and Soma, which are good horror games mind you, they are just not very good at engaging you through gameplay. The Bunker hits that perfect balance of disempowerment and actually giving you the tools to do the shit you need to do. No more hiding in the corner crying like a little bitch waiting for the monster to leave. Now you can use your wits in a claustrophobic sandbox environment to fight back in a satisfying way and STILL be crying like a little bitch the whole time.

There’s no denying that RDR2 has one of the most masterfully told stories in all of gaming. By the end the player truly feels like they have been traveling with Arthur for years. It’s an incredible feat of storytelling.

What makes the story so impactful is the connection you feel to the characters. The game’s above-average campaign length reinforces that connection over the course of a very lengthy game. However, at least for me, the actual gameplay and mechanics of the game feel so incredibly slow and clunky that even the story was barely enough to keep me going. There were moments of very engaging gameplay, but those moments are incredibly sparse.

In the end, it’s a beautiful story. Nothing can take that away.
