Surprisingly good, and I say that because this is considered a true urban exploration game, which is something that never really interested me before. Is there any other game like this? Definitely leave a comment if you know one, because it was really fun.
To summarize it, Infra takes you onto the role of a structural analyst who has been sent onto the field to make repairs and take photos of structural damage and any important documents you find, all while exploring the meticulously designed city of Stalburg, and unrevealing its mysterious conspiratorial plot. The main appeal of this game are the environments. I can't express enough how detailed and how naturally the infrastructure flows, specially because of how varied it is. From industrial complexes, to sewers, metros, abandoned buildings, offices, water treatment plants, urban areas, and more. The work that must have gone into creating these places is really commendable, and I guess that's the main reason behind the game releasing in three parts. But there's also some really smart environmental storytelling, lifelike puzzles, secrets, and other s̸͕̾t̶͇̔u̶̳͘f̷̳̎f̵̯̌ to find. And oh yeah, great nostalgic Source prop humor (the spider, holy shit). The plot is also really engaging if you like indulging in a really long and complex conspiratorial interconnected story (seriously, it's massive).
Now, this is probably the only game that I give a positive rating and did not finish, mostly because of a combination of factors. Between being occupied with college, getting soft locked in a puzzle, and the last chapters not being as interesting as the rest, I don't feel like continuing it. But to be honest I already got my enjoyment out of it. This is a walking sim, but it's REALLY long, like 20+ hours, so for me it's not that big of a deal. There are other complaints I have about the game, like the voice acting, but I feel like the uniqueness of it outweighs the negatives, so I'm not going to ramble about them.
If this sounds interesting for you, I recommend giving it a try. It sure didn't for me, but I'm glad I tried it. I guess thanks to David Szymanski for recommending it on twitter.
If you already completed the game, check out what happens in the B2 tunnel if you haven't already because it's uh...something.
★★★ – Good ✅

@MyGameOpinions That's awesome, glad you liked it! More people should know of it with how unique it is, but like you said it has a slow pace and that requires some patience. I really want to try their next game (Obenseuer) whenever it comes out of early access.
Hell yeah I'm a bit curious about Obenseuer being like a city builder(?) game or something like that. Not sure how it'll work but I'll definitely try it out after it releases. Oh and I'm not sure if they're still working on an Infra DLC or not?
@MyGameOpinions If they are, they'll probably start working on it after obenseuer, sadly. There's a mod called Infra Underground, that's the closest thing to a dlc for now. Haven't tried it yet.
